See point #4 in my profile.

Thanks! That helps. That last thing I want to do is to be repeating bad information.

Your "Point 4" has been refuted by the admitted inaccuracy of where the temperature readings were taken - only in areas of increasing populations and increasing "heat island" effects. This has horribly skewed the numbers over time, and there is extreme reluctance to admit it and or make the necessary revisions.
