Auditor-General Dismisses Need for Scrutiny of Bureau’s Homogenization Methodology
SURFACE air temperatures, as measured at weather stations across Australia, are routinely remodeled through a process of homogenization. After the remodeling of approximately 100 individual temperature series, various area weightings are applied to … [Read more...] about Auditor-General Dismisses Need for Scrutiny of Bureau’s Homogenization Methodology
Accepting Regional Variability in Global Temperatures
IN the very first report from the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the Medieval Warm Period was evident as a period, about as warm as the present, occurring from AD 950 to 1250. In subsequent IPCC reports there is no … [Read more...] about Accepting Regional Variability in Global Temperatures
Satellite-based global temperatures, trending up
LEADING climate scientists were not acknowledging “the pause” in global warming, even though it was very apparent in the satellite-based temperatures of the lower troposphere. That was until last month. The February update to this satellite record … [Read more...] about Satellite-based global temperatures, trending up
Rainfall Forecasts Should be Benchmarked
ACCORDING to Bill Gates, “You can achieve incredible progress if you set a clear goal and find a measure that will drive progress towards that goal.” This may seem basic, but it’s not practiced enough, and certainly not when it comes to rainfall … [Read more...] about Rainfall Forecasts Should be Benchmarked
