Last week I showed some graphs like the ones below, which demonstrate that the TOBS (time of observation bias) adjustment is bogus. Stations which took their readings during the morning on July 15, 1936 are actually cooling slightly relative to the July 15, 1936 afternoon stations. This behavior is the opposite of what TOBS was created to correct.

So this morning I tried the same experiment on the raw monthly USHCN data using the identical set of stations as was used in the daily analysis. In this case, something very unexpected appeared. The morning stations are warming much faster than the afternoon stations, which is what TOBS theory predicts.

This discrepancy makes no sense, because I am using the identical set of stations for both the monthly and daily data. The monthly data is supposed to be the average of the daily data.

So the next obvious experiment was to compare the monthly data for…

The year 1896 brought record heat to both hemispheres, with CO2 below 300 PPM. Interesting how climatologists pretend this didn’t happen, and in fact NASA has largely erased it from the temperature record.

The summer of 1896 was the hottest on record in Arizona

The heat covered the US, and caused “terrible mortality” in Chicago

January, 1896 was by far the hottest month is Australian history.

Some places reached 130 degrees.

Temperatures in Australia plummeted over the next 50 years, as CO2 began to rise.

Jennifer Marohasy dug up a 1952 CSIRO paper, which shows sharp Australian cooling from the hot 1890s to the 1920s. I overlaid GISS average summer temperature 10 year ending mean for Alice Springs, on the equivalent CSIRO maximum temperature graph for Alice Springs.

The comparison isn’t perfect (average temperature vs. maximum) but it does show how NASA has dramatically cooled Australia’s pre-1930 past, and have in fact turned a 1910-1925 cooling trend into a warming trend.

Data.GISS: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis

We know that the raw Alice Springs data was correct, because many other stations showed the same 1910-1925 cooling – which NASA has erased. Once again, NASA is destroying temperature records to suit a political agenda.

This is what NASA did to Alice Springs between GISS V2 and GISS V3

Wind turbine blaze scandal

Up to 120 wind turbines catch fire annually, according to the journal of Fire Safety Science. This is 10 times the number reported by the industry, The figures, compiled by engineers at Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh, make fire the second-largest cause of accidents after blade failure.

The researchers claim that out of 200,000 turbines around the world, 117 fires take place annually, many more than the 12 reported by wind farm companies.

You may recall that someone predicted a week ago that it was about to take a sharp turn towards the median.
