As good as. Does not explain the observed warming by itself. That is the greenhouse gases, water and CO2.

Oh. You mean like Australia 7.7 million square Kilometres. 750 Weather stations. 10,000 odd square Kilometres on Average per station? Data smearing anyone?

Or

"The Forum noted that the extent to which the development of the ACORN-SAT dataset from the raw data could be automated was likely to be limited, and that the process might better be described as a supervised process in which the roles of metadata and other information required some level of expertise and operator intervention. The Forum investigated the nature of the operator intervention required and the bases on which such decisions are made and concluded that very detailed instructions from the Bureau are likely to be necessary for an end-user who wishes to reproduce the ACORN-SAT findings. Some such details are provided in Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research (CAWCR) technical reports (e.g. use of 40 best-correlated sites for adjustments, thresholds for adjustment, and so on); however, the Forum concluded that it is likely to remain the case that several choices within the adjustment process remain a matter of expert judgment and appropriate disciplinary knowledge. "

So in short BoM's processes can't be replicated. If it can't be replicated it isn't science.

Having done it once they have no way of confirming what they did at a later date.

And we are supposed to trust this homogenisation?

You mean those glaciers that have variously been retreating and advancing since the 19th century?

The_Barnacle wrote on Aug 7^th, 2018 at 10:30pm:



Yes. Caused by rapid temperature change in the water. In turn caused by the El Nina/La Nina oscillations. Where when the trade winds stop blowing from the east the water flows to the West. That causes very low tides. That means the shallow water, which heats up fast.

Didn't you get the message? The Antarctic is increasing ice mass. The Antarctic temperatures are actually dropping due to CO2, it seems. Bizarre eh. causes warming and cooling.

Oh the Arctic was sailed in the 19th century. Must have had AGW back then too. No icebreakers support though.

So how much warming have you seen in your lifetime?

Mr Monk should call himself Mr Acronym.
It makes him sound scientific.


For the benefit of all the readers -

What is TSI & what is UHI  ?

Good - I'll have to start a thread for environment acronyms so
that the readers can follow the contributors.
Otherwise they won't know what AGW or   GSM is  either.

Who gave you permission to copy my post to your graveyard?

Is that like you copying from there? Or is it different?

YOU ARE A C|_|NT BOOBY!

I was right about Booby.
