Anthony Watts has observed that there is good reason for concern about USHCN stations. A reader at Anthony Watts’ blog has drawn attention to the following story in which suspicion of weather stations was taken to a new level. The suspicious device blown up by a State Police Bomb Squad Thursday evening turned out to […]
Back from Arizona and Colorado, where I visited family and friends in Phoenix and Colorado Springs. I didn’t spend much time on the internet. I had an opportunity to read Anthony’s interesting new posts on more stations. Each new station seems to yield an interesting story. It is disquieting that the USHCN site with the […]
I’m going to be a bit spotty online in the next 10 days as I’m visiting family and friends in Phoenix and Colorado Springs. Don’t ask me why a Canadian would leave a lake in Ontario for Phoenix in July. I have no answer other than perhaps Rumpole’s. I’m probably going to see at least […]
The cat has finally dragged in Mann et al, Robustness of proxy-based climate field reconstruction methods, url 😉 Supplementary info. This article was first cited by the rather bilious 😈 Referee #2 for Burger and Cubasch , as though Burger should have been aware of its findings. The coauthors are the “independent” authors: Wahl, Ammann […]
Anthony Watts writes in about 4 more USHCN stations:

The form of the concert reminded me of last weekend, Princess Diana concert except that it’s BIGGER, its consumption is more conspicuous and […]
In a recent post, I’ve indicated that IPCC authors seems to have invented a “test” for long-term persistence that is nowhere attested in any statistical literature and, if I’ve interpreted what they’ve done correctly, appears to be a useless test. Jean S and I have made a few references to the Review Comments on the […]
Today, I’d like to discuss an interesting problem raised recently by Joe d’Aleo here – has the temperature of New York City increased in the past 50 years? Figure 1 below is excerpted from their note, about which they observed. Note the adjustment was a significant one (a cooling exceeding 6 degrees from the mid […]
In browsing AR4 chapter 3, I encountered something that seems very strange in Table 3.2 which reports trends and trend significance for a variety of prominent temperature series (HAdCRU, HadSST, CRUTem). The caption states: The Durbin Watson D-statistic (not shown) for the residuals, after allowing for first-order serial correlation, never indicates significant positive serial correlation. […]
