And, do keep in mind that all of the temp measurements and predictions tie back to on the surface "thermometers". 96% of them are placed incorrectly, according to their own instructions. They are not supposed to be within 300 yards (or, that silly meter thingie) of any structure that could block free flow of air. This biases all measurements to the high side. Of course, the "scientists" who recognize this claim that they account for that -- but, to whose benefit?
My research advisor would have fried my butt if I tried anything like that. But, then, that was decades ago when integrity mattered. Sigh!
