Just found this one from the comments...at AJ Strata's web site:

The Mythical Global Warming

Have not gone thru it yet.

Article linked at post #16...is very interesting...the Great Culling of Weather stations ...1990's... shows an increase in temperatures....and Europe has strange records.

His conclusions:

**************************EXCERPT******************

Conclusions:

• It is clear if we just use the temperature readings and give them equal weight there is little to no global warming detected over the last 130 years.
• Instead of being driven by man-made CO2, temperature seems to follow the number of stations in use, first showing a cooling planet as technology moved out of the large cities, and then showing a warmer planet as they were removed in recent years.
• Europe’s data is a mess and an outlier and should not be used to out weigh the Pacific and North America record. It is not by accident most or all of the warming disappears when you pull Europe out of the mix – which means there is something statistically wrong here.

Thanks! I was aware of the “culling,” but it was interesting to see the graphs. One would expect an immediate jump in temps at the time of the culling. But we don’t see that. Rather we see a more gradual increase, rather than an instant spike. I suspect the gradual increase is the result of temperature reading “adjustments.” If there had been a spike, everyone would have connected it to the removal of stations from the data base. And that would have been painfully obvious! I’m very suspicious of warmers, and their data.
