"With billions upon billions of dollars in annual federal funding at stake, who do you suppose the manufactured warming trend benefits?"
Definitely not the American Taxpayer.

Does there remain a single, once noble or at least innocuous American institution that the Left has not soiled?

From the article: “Forty years ago, for example, Chicagos OHare airport was located in a largely rural area with surrounding agriculture and relatively sparse population.”
Forty-one years ago I worked on the Illinois Tollway at the O’Hare Oasis. Walking home from work I passed by a large field of corn. No “heat island” effect from that!
The story is the same in many places around the country. Do they de-emphasize urban weather stations and emphasize rural ones? Just the opposite!

Perhaps placing a microphone outside and ‘recording’ the temperature justifies their claim?

June 17th, and it’s cold as a well-digger’s arse here in Boston.

Bingo! Good answer. I believe there has also been a reduction in the number of rural data collection stations and that only increases the effect of the data from the “heat islands”.

Also, they use the data to determine global warming trends of tenths of a degree — using data that was gathered by having somebody go squint at a thermometer calibrated +/- 2 degrees and manually write down what he sees.

I live in a rural area where the official Weather Service station is located at the small local airport among sand, rocks and sage brush. It is always at least 7 degrees hotter out there than anywhere else around.

There are many who have been watching the end of cycle 23 and the start of cycle 24 with great interest.

I suppose so. Science, K-12, government, our military, . . . what remains untouched by leftist filth?

The internet era has exposed the information fraud that has been perpetrated for decades just like the Gutenberg Press made information available to everybody who could read and share.
Those that still don't get it are like Dan Rather who is still drooling out that the Bush TANG story is true years after the Freeper from Atanta proved it false within hours.

and the crazy crazier.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them
imaginary.
