DOE: A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate

Actually, they show that the warming is from both increased ASR and increased greenhouse gases.
It is clear than the ASR is far exceeding any warning from the change in longwave.
Apples and oranges. 30 years applies to identifying climate trends. Here we are looking at the difference between two different measuring systems. We have way more enough samples to be certain that the two are in sync.
No we don't. there are too many variables with too large or error ranges to have any accuracy.
They may have been very respected scientists at one time, but if they are still clinging to ideas like we can not trust the temperature monitoring stations then they no longer deserve respect.
They have you brainwashed.
The graph doesn’t care whether temperature changes are due to ASR, greenhouse gases or snow on the ground. The measuring stations are just measuring whatever the temperature is at a given point in time.
Yes.
Regardless, the correlation is obviously successful.
So they claim.
Now that we have clear empirical evidence of the accuracy and a website where anyone can se it why would anyone need to write a paper about it?
That is utter bullshit.
 
I post a graphic showing how climate scientists have been able to more than adequately adjust the climate network data to account for the impact of the UHIE and you and LOP go into full conspiracy theory mode.

Here’s a few your joint conspiracy theories and why they are bogus:

Conspiracy theory: The data is from a lying blogger. No. Here’s the root source of the data and a snapshot of the data shown directly from the source:

Conspiracy Theory: The length of the data was cherry picked. No. All the data available was used. The pristine sites used to compare to the entire monitoring network were not fully in operation until 2005.

Conspiracy Theory: August was a cherry picked month. Bigger differences would show up if January or February was used. No. August was picked because the UHIE effect has the most impact in that month. February, the coldest month, has even closer agreement than August as shown here:

Conspiracy theory: Choosing the single month of August is cherry picking. Annual numbers covering the entire year should have been used. No. The annual numbers show better agreement than August as shown here:

Thanks for the link but I think the problem is that the climate reference network only has 20 years worth of data, and I need to read up more on their anomaly findings, like what base period they use.
 
The material you pose links two studies,
I’m not sure why you call them studies. They are just two data series generated by NOAA, but I guess it doesn’t matter what you call them.

Neither study address the UHIE. They use pairwise to fill in missing data. there is nothing that explains the accuracy of their results

Where is this "pristine" data you infer?.
Gee, I thought you would have at least looked at the graphic that you and Longview have been busy generating conspiracy theories about. As I said above the NOAA website is the source of the data in the graphic.

Read the description of the graphic below.

Below is where the data for the chart above comes from, not some lying blogger as you suggested. The chart above and the chart below are identical. USCRN is the US Climate Reference Network or the 100+ pristine sites that are not adjusted. ClimDiv is the 10,000+ adjusted NOAA temperature stations. As you can see the temperature changes are virtually identical thus proving the accuracy of the adjustments… identical to the chart above only the chart below is up to date.

20 years of data is way more than enough data to show that the reference network and the adjusted network are in lockstep.

No we don't. there are too many variables with too large or error ranges to have any accuracy.

Yes.

Apparently you didn’t grasp what I was saying in post 398. Hopefully, post 403 will clarify it for you.

Not really, anomalies are based on reference periods, and the length of the reference period could alter the relationship.
Also the original source of that graph was a magazine article.

Both sets use the same reference period and data, (1991- 2020), which means they are almost looking at the same data for the first 20 years of the graph, and only years 2021-2025 would show much of anything. I will see what I can find when I get back on my computer.

Magazine article? As I said earlier, the original source is NOAA.

No it had the person’s name at the bottom the graph Kate Peterson, and the graphic was originally from her article in Fortune I Think.
The problem is that the data and the anomaly overlap the reference period for 20 of the 25 years, which is why all the measurements are so close to zero.

Anything else would produce gibberish results when comparing the anomalies. Obviously if different reference periods were used the anomalies would not be comparable.

Wrong. They do not use the same data. They are two completely different datasets from two different sources.

Not true at all. They are two completely separate datasets from two separate sources. Your statement makes no sense. The graph is showing anomalies from two different averages for two different series. The point is that the differences shown for each series is nearly identical. Plus if you had done even a cursory inspection of the graph you would see that the variation shown in the anomalies is far greater before 2021 than after, not less.

I will see what I can find when I get back on my computer.

Why would noaa have a magazine writer create a graph for them?
Sorry I made a mistake, the article was in USA Today.
Climate scientists account for urban heat island effects, corroborate data | Fact check

The reference period is the same data!
They compare the anomaly of the climate reference network to the reference period of the NOAA temperature stations. It is the overlap of 20 out of 25 years I believe is concerning.

I don’t see why you want to keep saying that the source of the graph was not NOAA. The original graphic I posted was published by Kate Peterson but the original source is clearly marked as NOAA as you can see below. Also I showed that the graph from NOAA website and Kate’s graph are identical in post 403.

I don’t see your point. Are you saying that if a graph from NOAA is published in popular media that it is no longer legitimate?

That is not a problem whatsoever. First the point is that the measurements from each series are tracking each other almost perfectly and second as I said above, the anomalies actually show way more variation during the reference period than after.
 
The Climate Change Armageddon Cult is like a watermelon, it is green in the outside and red on the inside.
Climate Change fear is a tool that is used to scare dumb people and to loot the taxpayers.

Mistakes can be repeated. They are as easily replicated with bad methodology.

Your faith is string. Their science I have seen used is not sufficient to remove the UHIE.
 
Why would noaa have a magazine writer create a graph for them?
Weird question. NOAA created the graph long before the article was written not the magazine writer. The magazine writer (holder of a MS from MIT) published it and properly sourced it.

The magazine author wrote the article to refute nonsense that someone on Facebook was posting to try to mislead people. While I doubt that NOAA asked for the article to be published I expect that if they saw it they would have been happy to see that someone was combating misinformation.


Again are you saying that if someone in the popular media publishes a NOAA graph that it becomes illegitimate?

Delusional.

Anyone with the skills to read a simple graph can see that you are wrong.

I will say that your approach is interesting though. When presented with evidence that clearly refutes your position you first attempt to come up with various conspiracy theories to discredit it. After your conspiracy theories are proven to be nonsense then you just say you don’t believe the science because you don’t want it to be true. Sorry you are butthurt.
 
Your faith is strong. The science is way more than sufficient to remove the UHIE.
Then show me the science instead and explain in your own words with papers and quotes from them why I am wrong. You rhetoric attached to a chart doesn't mean squat to me. Incorrect narratives are too often assigned to images.

I understand the sciences, so you have to prove to me at that level! Not with rhetoric, or in a he-said-she-said manner.

Show me you understand that the assumed increase in global temperature is correct. My biggest concern of the accuracy is the FACT that it is impossible with todays technology to adjust the UHIE skew out of the observed reading. Bewyond that, there are other problems in such adjustments. However, the UHIE skew over time, and it is a long time. Cannot possible be accurately accounted for. All the methods I have seen in papers attempt to do so, but they fall short. It is an impossible task without going back in time.
