Summers Used To Be Much Hotter In The US Posted on June 23, 2014 One year ago this week, President Barack Obama waited for a hot day in Washington and hurriedly held an outdoor speech, where he could perspire, engage in third rate acting, and blame global warming. The president might be surprised to learn that temperatures are normally hot in the summer. The graph below shows the annual percentage of US June temperatures above 100 degrees through the 21st of the month. Prior to 1954, 100 degree June days were much more common, and this June has been below the 1895-2014 mean. For the entire summer, the frequency of 100 degree days has dropped dramatically since the 1930s. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/summers-used-to-be-much-hotter-in-the-us-2/
Smoking Gun Of Massive USHCN Adjustment Confirmation Bias Posted on June 25, 2014 US July maximum temperatures have plummeted since the 1930s. Over the same period, US July minimum temperatures have increased. The difference between maximum and minimum temperatures has dropped by more than 15%. This is very indicative of urban heat island contamination. Paved roads, snow removal, irrigation, and other factors cause nighttime temperatures to be elevated, and all have increased sharply since 1930. We have seen nearly 2C (3.6F) summer UHI since 1930. So how much does USHCN correct for UHI? less than 0.1F (continued in next post)
(continued from previous post) NOAA has documented more than six degrees of UHI in Phoenix. At the same time they exaggerate TOBS and FILNET, USHCN massively undercounts UHI. If they did their adjustments properly, they would increase the cooling trend since the 1930s, rather than reverse it. As a result of data tampering, they have made a complete mockery of the US temperature record. Zeke blows this all off as âchanging station compositionâ This is not credible for many reasons. Zeke needs to come up with a physical explanation for why the changes since 1930 have caused daytime temperatures to plummet, while nighttime temperatures have increased. And remember that the station loss didnât begin until 1990. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/...f-massive-ushcn-adjustment-confirmation-bias/
checkmate on data manipulation... because I believe fraudcurrents in the pasted stated the data was adjusted to modify the effect of the urban heat island effect. I wondered then how the hell he could be pretending that you would adjust for heat islands by moving recent temperatures up and past temps down.
who cares... its the data that matters in this argument. your team is presently committing a fraud... fraudcurrents
We are currently experiencing global warming. If an increased greenhouse effect is a significant part of this warming, we would expect to see nights warming faster than days. There have been a number of studies into this effect, which confirm that this is indeed the case. One study looked at extreme temperatures in night and day. They observed the number of cold nights was decreasing faster than the number of cold days. Similarly, the number of warm nights was increasing faster than the increase in warm days (Alexander 2006). At nighttime, the surface cools by radiating its heat out to space. Greenhouse gases slow down this cooling process.
