See - Global warming isn't happening, because of what we did!
You have to give us more power and money!
Complete B.S. No science involved at all, just an appeal to scientism by the climate change religion.
Climate scientists say. What a crock!
LiG thermometers and PRTs built in the late 19th century were capable of high degrees of precision, even by today’s standards. I don’t have a cite, but I would wager the laboratory-grade LIGs and Callendar-type PRTs produced in 1913 were capable of achieving resolutions of 0.01 °C or better up to 550 °C. Thermometers designed for geological and meteorological applications would have had reduced precision, naturally, but resolutions of 0.1 °C would have been easy to achieve.
The problem in 1913 wasn’t the precision or range of the thermometers. The main problem was that there wasn’t a nationally agreed upon temperature standard & scale. (The first ITS wasn’t published until 1927.) So while the precision of the various thermometers may have been high, their absolute accuracies would be in question. In other words, the data for the measured *change *in temperature for a given thermometer would have likely been valid, but you would you would not have high confidence in the results when comparing data from two different thermometers (unless they were “calibrated” by the same lab & person), and you would have even less confidence from the results of performing a direct comparison between temperature data generated in 1913 and a thermometer calibrated after 1927.

Exactly. It has been a race to get enough BS through so when it was found out global warming is not happening they can say “the steps we took slowed the warming so we must do even more”.
Hey, they saved us from that ice age back in the 70’s, didn’t they?
They certainly have no shortage of whutzpah
