We will be doing it internationally, including Canada. <BR/><BR/>Just a point, I know you like to make things up for effect, but the 28 expressions of "outrage" you claim is false. Once again you've put words in my mouth.<BR/><BR/>Try searching my blog for the word "outrage" you'll not find it in any of those 28 "how not to measure temperature" posts.<BR/><BR/>And regarding the 28 posts being 10% of the total that are out of spec, BCL is wrong again. Those are just the ones I chose to write about in my blog. <BR/><BR/>It's understandable though, you wrote the post for effect, not for facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-14692163256092440962007-08-14T12:42:00.000-04:002007-08-14T12:42:00.000-04:00After they've done checking on the surface station...After they've done checking on the surface stations in the US, maybe they could go check the surface stations and the ocean temperatures on the 98% of the earth that is not the US. Then McIntyre could send them up to the troposphere to check the temperatures there. I bet Exxon would be willing to fund that.<BR/><BR/>Maybe then they would be too busy to blog about it. So it would all be good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-63681828458832163812007-08-14T06:59:00.000-04:002007-08-14T06:59:00.000-04:00Steve,About twenty years ago I did a Masters thesi...Steve,<BR/><BR/>About twenty years ago I did a Masters thesis in philosophy/Literature, and wrote on Wittgenstein and Francis Bacon. Nowadays I do research for a trade association.<BR/><BR/>In this case I wasn't denigrating Anthony's volunteers, but the people who visit the Conservative websites that report on their exploits (places like Newsbusters and SDA). None of these guys would be able to identify a weather station if it bit them on the ass, and suddenly they have opinions about them. And I suspect this would have been the case with most of Steve/Anthony's readers/volunteers up to about two months ago.bigcitylibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081538803991095825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-22941120029715622042007-08-13T21:31:00.000-04:002007-08-13T21:31:00.000-04:00With regards to your attempt to denigrate the folk...With regards to your attempt to denigrate the folks helping out Anthony as being of a low educational status: So what was your degree in?

The asphalt and air conditioning units are absolutely compromising the readings of this station. However, in most of the developed world there's a whole lot of asphalt. It definately warms thign sup to cut down trees and pave fields. This wouldn't mean that global warming isn't happenening, just that it may have many contributing factors. And some of the weather stations should be moved. I believe most in Canada are at airports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-33219533865103861452007-08-13T08:57:00.000-04:002007-08-13T08:57:00.000-04:00No it was meant in a mean one.

And I wonder, since Anthony has been considering internationalizing his efforts,where the local Canadian stations are located?
