Title: Anthony Watts of WUWT Press Release: More Fraudulent Data Interpretation

This has to do with temperature site quality. Some sites where temperatures are sampled are not very good...they have artificial heat sources or heat sinks (concrete, asphalt or high urban density) that make for warmer average temperatures. Some are judged to be very, very accurate because they don't have any of these interfering factors.

So...what do you do with this mix of data?

Well, apparently, if you are a warmist who is hell bent on manipulating data in an ever growing mission to enhance your funding you adjust the highly accurate sites to be more like the warmer highly inaccurate sites. And just like magic, your results are even higher than the average of the warmer highly inaccurate sites. Poof! Instant funding!

Wonder if Anthony is being audited by the IRS?
He's like a bulldog.  One more fish slap to NOAA.

· Airport USHCN stations show a significant differences in trends than other USHCN stations, and due to equipment issues and other problems, may not be representative stations for monitoring climate.

Well DUH.  The local radio stations use the temperature readings from Raleigh-Durham Airport.  It's always several degrees cooler here than reported, and no wonder; miles of asphalt, jet engines, no trees at the airport.

Idiots, thinking we're idiots.

I wouldn't call them idiots. They know darned good and well what's going on and are deliberately manipulating the data for a desired outcome.

Based on that I wouldn't call them scientists, either.

And as most conmen do, they think of their victims as cattle. Chumps.

Worse than idiots, criminals, stooges of a discredited psuedo-religious sect bent upon putting humans back into the Stone Age.  I say we stone them.

Problem is they've all but given up on convincing us sp the mission has changed to maintain the illusion for the gullible.
