I'm new to the forum, and love a good debate. Basically I'm here because I want to test an article I wrote, on why i believe AGW is a reality. I've started a discussion on it here:

Looking forward to your feedback

There's not near enough credible data to make a clear decision one way or another. We know that F and C temps are recorded in all the large cities all over the world, but I found no documentation on how data was processed or when. The words of scientists, with no credible proof, isn't nearly enough to base our hopes or fears on.

He must have noticed since he stopped coming here a while ago.

LOL.

I personally think that the surface temperature data is very poor because it does not tell us when it reached 60 then 70 and so on up to the days high,during the day.

Suppose the days high was 91 at 5:30 pm,but how LONG was it at 91 degrees that day?

It could have been raining at 79 degrees when it stopped,and cleared up rapidly starting at 4:00 pm,then the temperature goes up when a lot more sun reaches the surface.

82 at 4:30
86 4:45
88 5:00
89 at 5:15
88 at 5:45

Then it starts dropping faster as the sun is setting at 6:00.

The next day the high is 92 degrees at 5:00 pm.

85 at 1:30
87 at 2:30
90 at 4:00
91 at 4:45
90 at 6:00

Much warmer day but the high is only a degree higher,because it was warmer much earlier in the day than the day before and warmer later in the day as well.

That is why the lack of changing data documentation,poor station siting locations,killed the reliability of the records as being anything more than a crude base of temperature trends.

Why do they ignore the Heating degree days data?
Why do they ignore the Cooling degree days data?
