Global Warming on Free Republic
Years ago, I used to jog around Reid Park in Tucson, AZ. It’s a good long three-mile circle. At the end....there’s the weather trailer that the university runs....collecting data for the national map.
The trailer was a late-1960s trailer, with a AC unit on one end. About three feet from the AC unit....was the temp collection unit. The trailer? It was laid out on a stone surface...then ten feet away was a concrete surface, and twenty feet away....a four-lane intersection with tons of pavement.
Heat-magnet? Yeah. I would guess that the gauge was picking up an extra four degrees on any given July day. Who picked this location? That would be an interesting question to ask. Valid data? Absolutely not. Corrupted planning? Yeah.
That was back in 1992. I have no idea if the trailer is still there or if they moved it. As for reliability of this data going into a national database? It’s zero. Anything collected from this trailer over the past couple of decades.....is worth zero in reliability. That’s the sad part about this whole mess....real scientist are absolute about clean data. These guys? Fake is good enough. That’s why you can’t believe anything.
The hot spot — if it exists — is 10 km above the earth’s surface. I’ve never understood how the heat was supposed to flow down to the surface from such a great height. Doesn’t usually work that way, does it?
