I love all these complex explanations for other planets warming the same way Earth is...
You mean like this:
Some of the people warning about global warming are the same pinheads that during the 60's and 70's were warning about the new ice age. They were wrong then as well as now. 1860-1880 global warming followed by global cooling. 1910- 1940 global warming followed by global cooling. Cooling since 1995. We need to reduced pollution, but cap and tax isn't the way to do it.
Perfect example, top marks ol' boy!
Scientist is not stated once in the entire post. Naturally, you point out that there wasn't a scientific concensus supporting the rabid politicians that were extolling the coming ice age 24/7 in the early 70's. It's a simple fact, it happened, and a lot of the same loony toons are indeed pimping the new disaster scenario today. That they have science, if you want to call it that, backing them this time doesn't change anything. The loony tunes don't need evidence, and are in no way restricted to honest portrayals regardless. Hell, even the scientists are doing it. We've got Paucheri and his bunch on record numerous times admitting to flat out lies in order to create a false sense of emergency.
Now that we've dealt with your latest waste of brain activity, would you mind explaining why every class one rural record I've checked(I'll admit, it was only about a dozen, I'm lazy after all) has been modified, often outside the margin of error, to show warming over the last century instead of cooling? Those would be stations like the subset identified by Watts which was then manipulated by the NOAA to show the same increase in trends...
Seriously, go to the site, pick a state at random, and start looking at the stations, find those class 1 sites, and then go to GISTEMP and pick apart the station data. It was immediately obvious to me that something is seriously wrong with the process. The thirties are almost universally high, but once they go through homogenization, the 90's are often higher.
A few more examples, went with Alabama because it's the first state alphabetically, just running through the list...
Fairhope 2NE. Peak temperature just shy of 21 in the late 20's, knocked down about a quarter, with the 1998 peak left alone for the most part.
Gainesville Lock. Sitting in a structure's parking lot, next to, of all things, a lock. Oddly minor adjustments considering it's on the one spot not covered in grass. Unfortunately, they're still shrinking the gap between the high in the 30's and the recent highs.
Greensboro. Peak temperature of 20.25 in the 30's, around .75 degrees hotter than 1998. After homogenization, the thirties are mysteriously half a degree cooler for this rural site and the gap has shrunk to around .25, with 1998 no longer being the recent high...
These are with USHCN site "corrections" already added into the unadjusted values. Before these were made, the thirties were even hotter by comparison, the actual raw station data is less accessible.
