An excellent response to Mr. Robinson’s sillyness.

"I found that the National Weather service had been formed in 1870 and that in that year a weather station had been placed on the roof of the Customs House in Baltimore Harbor. That station had produced a continuous temperature record for 138 years."

Hmmmm. Now, they pit them in tin sheds on asphalt in parking lots...no wonder the earth is warming...

Great letter. He makes some of the same critical statements that Michael Creighton made several years ago, only he makes them more forcefully.

Of course, he makes one mistake himself when suggesting a purely empirical analysis of the temperature data - he assumes that the UN hasn't constructed their "conclusion" before the evidence was gathered. This, of course, is nonsense. As far as they UN is concerned, the world is getting warmer and people are to blame - rich white people. Good science and scientific evaluation is just a cumbersome burden to their plans for social re-engineering.

I only have one objection to what he says. I wouldn’t let the UN anywhere near the team that is assigned to resolve the issues.

I might point out that, when he was listing the issues concerning CO2 increase, he failed to include this: Is it harmful?

Good for you. Eugene Robinson is one of those guys I’d like to buy for what he’s worth and re-sale him for what he thinks he’s worth.

I am a physical scientist with a PhD from Brown University. My thesis was in quantum mechanical scattering theory. I spent a full career developing strategic weapons before being ordained an Anglican priest.

Wow. Except for the ordained Anglican part, this guy could be my cousin.

Except I turned down two Ivy League schools for my Ph.D. work.

Nonetheless, his article -- particularly the footnote #1 -- are EXCELLENT.

"See Does a Global Temperature Exist? This paper was in press in the Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics in June 2006. The authors Christopher Essex, Ross McKitrick and Bjarne Andresen show that there is no physically-based way to construct a meaningful global average temperature. Furthermore, a given data set could be interpreted as either “warming” or “cooling” depending on the kind of averaging method one might choose. "

Cheers!

Oops. His name isn’t Eugene Robinson. It’s Vicky Imogene Robinson. No kidding.
