LOL...no wonder they are getting such high readings. That Tucson station should register at least 130 over that hot parking lot in the summer. Doesn’t someone check these to see if they are properly sited?
This has been widely discussed in the right-wing blogosphere and has been acknowledged at realclimate as follows:
I heard on Bortz’s show that within 3 days of notification of these blunders, NASA pulled the locations of it’s weather stations off the internet.
Junk science, thug style.

KEEP IN MIND FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE SCANDAL IS NOT JUST THE LOCATION OF THE STATIONS!!!!
NASA TRIED TO CONCEAL THE DATA ABOUT THEIR LOCATIONS AND THEN CONCEALED THE DATA MANIPULATION!!!!
we need a “ “Gate name for this....Datagate?
LOL! As the road is periodically repaved with fresh black asphalt, the U of A will find that their local climate is cyclical, in a sawtooth pattern.
It’s a political agenda of the loony lefty commies. They’ve gotten away with it for yrs...but times have changed ... we’re backing them down faster than they ever imagined...HA HA HA
Fantastic thread!
The false readings from these improperly located climatological stations is an inconvenient truth.
Bumpity, bump, bump, bump.
Every day more and more facts come out showing just what a scam global warming really is.
This is just another example.
More to follow.
