The Official U.S. Surface Temperature Record Remains Fatally Flawed (Guest: Anthony Watts)
from Environment and Climate News Podcast · host Heartland Institute
The temperature data sets used in official government reports making alarming claims about rapidly rising temperatures and dangerous climate change come from a fatally flawed network of weather stations. More than 96 percent of the stations surveyed fail to meet the National Weather Service’s requirements for quality measurements. As a result, the official temperature record is biased, being more than twice as hot as records from the U.S. Climate Reference Network. If we can't trust the temperature records, which is supposed to be the driving force for dangerous climate change, why should we trust the predictions of worsening extreme weather made by government agencies?
