The Earth’s Temperature Record Has A Problem And It’s A Big One
For years we’ve been led to believe that the planet Earth has been plagued by runaway Global Warming. I’ve been waiting for this press release all weekend and it is GOLD!
PRESS RELEASE – July 29th, 2012 12PM PDT – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A reanalysis of U.S. surface station temperatures has been performed using the recently WMO-approved Siting Classification System devised by METEO-France’s Michel Leroy. The new siting classification more accurately characterizes the quality of the location in terms of monitoring long-term spatially representative surface temperature trends. The new analysis demonstrates that reported 1979-2008 U.S. temperature trends are spuriously doubled, with 92% of that over-estimation resulting from erroneous NOAA adjustments of well-sited stations upward. The paper is the first to use the updated siting system which addresses USHCN siting issues and data adjustments.
The new improved assessment, for the years 1979 to 2008, yields a trend of +0.155C per decade from the high quality sites, a +0.248 C per decade trend for poorly sited locations, and a trend of +0.309 C per decade after NOAA adjusts the data. This issue of station siting quality is expected to be an issue with respect to the monitoring of land surface temperature throughout the Global Historical Climate Network and in the BEST network.
Anthony Watts has been working on the Surface Stations project since 2007. In a nutshell urban creep has impacted on the accuracy of the Surface Station temperature records across the globe. The degree of accuracy has now been more accurately quantified. This will send shockwaves through the global warming alarmist camp.
Using the new Leroy 2010 classification system on the older siting metadata used by Fall et al. (2011), Menne et al. (2010), and Muller et al. (2012), yields dramatically different results.
Using Leroy 2010 methods, the Watts et al 2012 paper, which studies several aspects of USHCN siting issues and data adjustments, concludes that:
These factors, combined with station siting issues, have led to a spurious doubling of U.S. mean temperature trends in the 30 year data period covered by the study from 1979 – 2008.

Any chance of putting this into laymen’s terms?
Laymen’s terms: Global warming is only progressing half as fast as previously reported. At least that’s what i’m getting from it.
I’d love to hear a statement from a polar bear population spokesmammal on this one :/ Interesting is the article i just read about the rate of thaw in Greenland and the global warning supposedly released by NASA. Didn’t seem to be a warning as much as a “what if”
scenario.

Perhaps this study is just disinfo to calm the masses in light of the signs of accelerated warming noted in the article link i added. I rarely post anything about these things but this seems so contradictory i decided to chime in.
anonymous sounds like a well-informed citizen!
anyone this late in the game trying to debunk global warming must be workin’ for the man
There are two independent tree ring studies, one by the Scandanavians and the other by Chinese scientists that prove the climate has been cooling for the past 2’000 years.
The discrepancy between surface temp readings and tree ring analysis, is easily explained by the fact the northern hemisphere deciduous forests have nearly all been replaced with spruce tree plantations. Spruce trees are green all year and trap more heat, they act like a heat sink, the same as cities act like a heat sink, giving a false high reading.
