Interfaith family weekend -- Passover yesterday, Easter today.
ReplyDeleteNow for some climate-science "Easter eggs":
Been trying to come up with a simple, easy (and very visual) story line that might convince "fence-sitting" laypeople (or even "reachable" skeptics) that the global temperature station network used by NASA, etc. really is robust and reliable.
Will these three images tell a good enough story?
1) Comparison plot of NASA/GISS "meteorological stations" index vs. results computed from simple anomaly avg of data from a few dozen globally-scattered rural stations: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8018/rural20x20.jpg
2) GoogleEarth view of stations used to produce NASA/GISS "meteorological stations" index: http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/3810/googleearthnasagiss.jpg
3) GoogleEarth view of the few dozen globally-scattered rural stations: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5811/googleearthrural20x20.jpg

Beyond the Pagan origins of Easter

ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of Easter, I feel I must counter Caerbannog with the righteous hammer of truth.
Fact:
Caerbannog's first graphic is cherry picked and does not show the historical record. Currently, earth is in an ice age, below GAT and below average levels of atmospheric co2.
Fact:
Caerbannog's second link better resembles a test for color blindness than a picture of the globe. I'm actually a little dissappointed that Caerbannog used this to reinforce the hoax.
Fact: I could take Caerbannog's same picture and exchange the red dots for blue dots, and nobody would care.
Fact:
Caerbannog's final link is another picture of the earth, with landmasses outlined in yellow.
Fact: well, that does it for me. Caerbannog, you have turned me into a true believer. The yellow outlines around landmasses are a clear indication of global warming.
I now see why true believers hide behind computer screens and will not debate publically.

that link about the dinosaur eggs was actually really good Peter. Thank you for posting an informative article.
Well, most folks are bright enough to figure out that the material I posted is a nice visual refutation of the denier crowd's favorite claims about the surface temperature record (i.e. warming caused by UHI, data "homogenization", etc.)
ReplyDeleteBut obviously not all folks.
