Brazil

NASA spokesmen Gavin Schmidt and James Hansen have observed that the US accounts for only 2% of the earth’s surface and conclude that problems in the US network don’t matter. There are only 6 Brazil stations in GHCN which have records extending through the 1930s and as late as 2004, which is an indication of […]

NOAA MI3 Station Location Maps

The NOAA website http://mi3.ncdc.noaa.gov/mi3qry/search.cfm? has a Map tab linking to local maps and Google Earth. I don’t recall seeing it before. Maybe someone can comment on this and also check the accuracy of the maps for stations shown there. I was looking to see if their equipment reporting included whether stations had aspirated or unaspirated […]

Detectives in Tucson

During the past 2 months, there has been an active discussion in the blogosphere about the quality of the Tucson U of Arizona weather station. While I have never claimed that the blogosphere is a substitute for academic journals, the thread of Tucson discussions seems to me to be a good example of internet discussion […]

I quit

John A writes: As Steve has already mentioned, I asked to stand down two weeks ago from the responsibilities involved in running this now notorious blog and return my life to some semblence of normality.

Steve interviewed on BBC Radio 4 "Today" programme

The interview is here starting at 17:40 (just move the scrollbar to around 17:30, you don’t have to wait!). The interview is obviously edited, but Steve manages to make some clear points.

New CA Server Now Online

The new server hardware I built for Climate Audit was deployed in the co-location center today in California, I hand delivered it myself. This new server has much over the old one from a tech spec point of view, including faster CPU, dual core, error corrected memory, and hi speed SATA2 drives. It’s biggest advantage […]

Townhall.com on the NASA "Y2K" Error

Here’s an interesting article on the NASA “Y2K” error from Michael Fumento of Townhall.com that steers between the over-reaction of some commentators that this error somehow disproves global warming and the claims of NASA spokesmen, James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt, that the error “doesn’t matter”. NASA spokesman Schmidt uses the realclimate.org website to advance the […]

CTV News

The 6 pm promo for the 11pm CTV news (a Canadian national network) featured – guess who. You’ll recognize some graphics. The 11pm news is online here (only up to yesterday at present – I’m not sure whether they stream it at 11 pm or whether it’s just an archive.) I’m on at the very […]

Short hiatus while moving to new home

Today Tomorrow (Thursday) sometime around 11am Pacific Standard Time, this server will go offline to be moved to its final home inside a colocation data center in California. The IP address will change, so give Anthony and team a couple of hours to move the server and reconfigure. Steve will change the domain climateaudit.org to […]

Roundup

Well, welcome back. The operating problems have resulted either from an increase in volume, or a DOS attack or both. Any time that we’ve tried to open up the site, the site has been knocked over. This has been true even on the weekend. Even after the climateaudit IP address was pointed away from the […]
