Comments on: The Great Dying of Thermometers

It seems that all of the thermometers and temperature records have disappeared faster than one can say “memory hole”. Perhaps if Orwell were alive today he’d write a sequel to 1984 called 2011.

Paul,

If you follow the post, the ‘trends’ reported are more highly correlated to data collection issues than to any real temperature trend. You are absolutely right that the selection criteria used by GISS and others for their temperature reconstructions should be reviewed. FOI requests have been made to see obtain the selection criteria, as opposed to having to reverse engineer it from the results and a few junk papers by Hansen et all, but as far as I know, GISS is still tight lipped about the criteria and how it was justified.

This is why I put little faith in surface temperature reconstructions. The satellite data is a far better source of information. This has 100% coverage in time and space over the entire surface of the Earth and a subjective reduction of the data is far harder to get away with.

George,

Then someone should review the method used to create this plot and develop different selection criteria.

This report attempts to say that we’re no longer keeping good track of temperature data. Quite the opposite is true. There is more data than ever. It’s all recorded, logged, and archived far more precisely than at any other time in history. Selecting good data from that set is more difficult. But the computer tools to do that make it easy.

This report is not a good critique of this method. It gets an result. If you disagree with the result you should go and do the analysis yourself. It’s not enough to just not like the result. You’ll need to find a flaw in the analysis. That will be far more difficult than just stomping around and saying, “Hey, they only used 500,000 data points to review the temperature trends! They should have used the other 5 million.”

The truth is out there.
