I found more than half the claimed source data sites in Maryland for the NASA tempurature monitor analysis, have been decommissioned for years!

Well there are Reds at NASA in the global warming scare, but it goes to their core, not just their faces.

If the sites have been decommissioned for years, where are the numbers coming from?
Making an adjustment error is one thing . . . . pulling numbers out of thin air (or even less savory places) is data falsification.

I haven't seen one "Global Warming" discussion that includes
reflectivity.

I have a question about “global warming”.
How is oil formed? I understand it is by dead plants and animals and pressure. If this is true, why and how is there oil deposits in ANWAR and the Arctic? And in the far north of Russia?
If all this is true, it MUST mean that those areas were at some time in our history, WARM enough to sustain the vast amounts of life required to then form oil deposits. WARMER than what we see today or even farther back than the Vostok ice cores so often used in the GW arguments.
Am I missing something?

Am I missing something?Plate techtonics can account for some - some regions drifted from warmer to cooler climates.
But climate also was much warmer at times globally in the distant past - to where the polar regions were warm enough for much more plant and animal growth. Just don't tell AlGore.

This is just how they crunched the numbers.
The article and DBM is NOT discussing the microclimates of the thermometer locations!

...where are the numbers coming from?... Exactly! What is the source data after a site is decommissioned?
The US source sites were taken from surfacestations.org and the site status was found at NOAA Satellite and Information Service. The Maryland temperature data source sites are listed in the table below with the decommissioned sites crossed out. Seven stations stopped reporting in the 1990s!

...Well, help us out here. Help us sight a cite on decommissioned sites. Thank You. Claimed facts should be verifiable. Follow the links in post 17. The sites are listed in surfacestations.org and are reproduced at the post. The site status can be checked at the NOAA link. Login using guest; search by COOP #. Please verify my assertion.
To: ricks_place
I would pose the question at climateaudit.org and see what they say.
