3) The urban against rural temp data (not my sorting, comes from real science) is the biggest tell. The historical data points to less, or no increase in temperatures

2) hotter conditions not resulting in more hot days and new temperature peaks not creating an increase in the count of hot days is counter intuitive. If it was all night highs, that might add up some, but DECREASING day peaks? Hmmm

Ok, here's a more systematic data set. It's all from historical climatlogy network data. 1) Assertions that "regional" variations explain the difference hold no water. Dismissing the only good concrete historical data in favor of correlated, processed, modeling data seems nonsensical. The US is big

On a camping trip with a group from school, some spark dropped a sealed gas canister into the fire for giggles. I waited behind a tree. Alone. Listening to the jocks whooping. A BLEVE is big, violent event It was my job to hike several miles to call the rescue chopper Trump=BLEVE

The basic issue as see is that the only really good quality temperature revlcord with high coverage and long-time is for the US and it ENTIRELY contradicts the hockey stick. It doesn't mean we aren't screwed. It means something is very screwy, though.

Not commenting on AGW or denying climate change. If a thing is a thing, it is measurable. If measured data (thermometers) contradicts aggregated and processed data, something is likely wrong with one data set. Catastrophizing about weather and accepting doctrine without analysis is weak sauce.

The constellation of bollocks collapses when one truth seeps in. But it's ok, because by 'doing their own research' the scaffolding pops up overnight to shore up their truths.
