Ol' Walleyes, if the trend were to colder temperatures, then the balance of the record temps would be on that side. What Chris is postin are indictators of a trend. When the record temps, cold versus hot, keep coming in 3 to 10 times more record hot than cold, for a period of several years, one can safely say that you are seeing a trend.
When all you can do to defend your position that nothing is happening, is post a couple of the cold extremes, then one can safely say that you have nothing to offer.
No, Chris is posting press releases from an organization that has actively reduced the number and rural locations of 6000 weather stations taking our actual temperature gathering ability back the the level it was in 1915.
Furthermore the extrapolation of temperatures across thousands of kilometers of dataless
terrain is riduculous. No legitimate scientist would ever choose to drop temperature gathering ability at the source in favour of making up what is missing.
Unless they had an ulterior motive. It is impossible tio hide the effect of freezing cold temperatures...just look at the millions of dead critters this last winter. However, when you get to make the figures up as you need then you can lie about how warm it is to further your propaganda.
This is what they are doing and they are being caught doing it....there will be repurcussions for this perfidy.
