Temperature Record of the Week.

Post by _Coggins7 »

To bolster our claim that "There Has Been Little Net Global Warming Over the Past 70 Years," each week we highlight the temperature record of one of the 1221 U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) stations from 1930-2005.

This issue's temperature record of the week is from Beaver City, NE. During the period of most significant greenhouse gas buildup over the past century, i.e., 1930 and onward, Beaver City's mean annual temperature has cooled by 0.31 degrees Fahrenheit. Not much global warming here!

In other words they are cherry picking. Got it.

Indeed, but Beaver City is not the globe, so it has virtually no influence in determining whether there has been global warming. If you wish to disprove global warming it's simple. Find the average temperature spread out across the entire earth and then figure out if it has been rising or not.

Now granted that wouldn't prove that humans caused it, but these little local cooling stats are useless in the global debate.

It's been hot in Denver the past few weeks. I find that my consumption of ice-cold Mountain Dew increases during heat waves, which increases my sugar and caffeine levels, which makes me more anxious, which makes me sleep less, which makes me grumpy.
