Garbage In, Garbage Out: 96% of NOAA Temperature Stations Fail ‘Uncorrupted Placement’ Standards
Breitbart.com ^ | July 29, 2022 | Penny Starr

A study that investigated the placement of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature stations found that 96 percent of the facilities used to measure heat failed to meet the agency’s own “uncorrupted placement” standards.

Research for the study shows the 96 percent corruption is because the stations’ measurements are tainted by the effects of urbanization – or heat produced because of their close proximity to asphalt, machinery, and other heat-producing, heat-trapping, or heat-accentuating objects.

The Heartland Institute compiled the report using satellite and in-person surveys of NOAA weather stations that contribute to the “official” land temperatures in the United States.

“With a 96 percent warm-bias in U.S. temperature measurements, it is impossible to use any statistical methods to derive an accurate climate trend for the U.S.” Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts, who directed the study, said is the study announcement distributed to the press. “Data from the stations that have not been corrupted by faulty placement show a rate of warming in the United States reduced by almost half compared to all stations.”

“NOAA’s ‘Requirements and Standards for [National Weather Service] Climate Observations‘ instructs that temperature data instruments must be “over level terrain (earth or sod) typical of the area around the station and at least 100 feet from any extensive concrete or paved surface,’” the press release said. “And that ‘all attempts will be made to avoid areas where rough terrain or air drainage are proven to result in non-representative temperature data.’

The total percentage of CO2 in the planet's atmosphere is .04% Man's contribution to that number is .05%, the remainng 95& comes from nature.....

The rise from 0.028% to 0.042% is almost entirely manmade. The CO2 production from nature is about 30 times more than manmade production. However the absorption of CO2 by nature is about equal to the production by nature. Mankind's CO2 absorption is essentially zero.

CO2 levels are definitely manmade this time around. But temperatures don't follow CO2, it's mostly the other way around.

I believe in climate change it’s been changing since creation

people pointed to this data corruption 10+ years ago. takes a long time for wheels of gov’t ‘science’ to turn.

For nearly five decades the official weather reporting station in my small hometown in South Dakota was within twenty feet of a large west facing brick wall of the old city auditorium. The locals, who had there own thermometers, frequently complained that the official high temperatures reported in the weekly newspaper, were always degrees hotter than what they noted on there thermometers. When the gentleman who operated the weather station passed away, the official weather station was moved to a new location in the middle of a large back yard away from any buildings and the reported high temperatures immediately began to more or less agree with what the locals were noting.

We have had basically the opposite N. of Gay Frisco.

Weather stations from semi normal sites were closed down, and the new stations were often in heat sink areas. So supposedly temps went up, and they didn’t!

People, who dared to point out these changes were hammered in local news papers.

In short, no, they generally were seldom placed correctly.

Yes, sprawl has made it worse, but still always has been GIGO.

The fact is that there has been warming. That is pretty much settled.

The issue is not warming but if the warming trend is manmade and related to manmade carbon dioxide emissions

> The fact is that there has been warming. That is pretty much settled. <

I’ll believe that when I see estimates of uncertainty attached to the warming data. Forgive me if you already know about this...

Every measurement has an estimate of uncertainty (a +/- value). Such values aren’t guesses. They can be calculated.

But you never see these values when it comes to climate change data. I suspect that’s because they would make the data meaningless. For example, we are told something like the earth’s oceans have gotten 0.1 degree Celsius warmer. The estimate of uncertainty there might be +/- 0.2 degrees. That’s greater than the actual change itself. Therefore, the original measurement is meaningless.

Sorry for being a bit long-winded here. I’m not saying warming isn’t happening. I just want to see better evidence of it.

OK, I base my thoughts on visible, real conditions. These are not instrument readings over time

The Glaciers in Glacier National Park have been receding for some time now. I have hiked there and seen the recession.

In the Exit Glacier National Park in Alaska, as you approach the glacier, at least two miles out, there is a sign designating the location of the toe of the glacier in 1896. There are other signs along the way locating the glacial toe in specific years.

What that means is that the US Government has known of the warming trend for a very long time, perhaps 100 + years.

The ice is gone. It Melted. It was warmer.

The climate has changed from accumulating glacial ice to melting glacial ice. Perhaps on a really long term view, the noted results are a continuation of the change that ended the last ice age. Perhaps not.

So, is the present condition the result of prolonged weather change in Montana and Alaska. Yes of course. Is that permanent climate change? Perhaps.

However, all that is irrelevant to the political question at hand. Was the warming in Montana and Alaska in 1896 the result of excess atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from SUV’s, jet airplanes and coal burning power plants? No, of course not

The way to end the Climate Change political controversy is to eradicate the enemies of the world population perpetrating the hoax. Such misguided people are the only real problem

Thanks for the reply.

My professional training revolved around making measurements, and usually small measurements. So that’s the way I tend to first think of things.

I found your comments about glaciers to be very interesting. A glacial retreat of two miles is certainly well beyond any estimate of uncertainty!

I suppose the real crime here is that no one is allowed to debate the issue. As you noted, it’s become too political. A professor who wants to argue for man-made global warming would talk to a full house. A professor who wants to argue against man-made global warming would be shouted down, and maybe even physically attacked. That’s surely not how science is supposed to work.

I used to work for a company that manufactured and installed flight information systems at airports. I observed the relocation of those sensor housings from proper locations to hot zones at several airports. My colleagues observed the same thing at additional airports. This occurred in the 1989-1991 time frame.

I seem to recall reading that the Clinton era FAA ordered sensors moved closer to runways in order that pilots receive "more accurate" information about runway conditions.

"This occurred in the 1989-1991 time frame."

A long time ago, I read an article stating that global temperature and weather models had for many years included data from weather stations scattered across the USSR. Afer the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 many of those stations were abandoned and left to fall into ruin and that data stopped being included. What I remember most about the article was one scientist's analogy that said it would be like charting global per capita income and then all of a sudden, stop including data from sub-saharan African. Unsurprisingly, you would see a, "hockey stick," rise in the per capita numbers, and such was the effect of the sudden cessation of data from the former USSR on global temperatures.
