The real "wingnuts" are those posing as "engineers" and claiming we
can measure the "average temperature" of the earth to an accuracy of
"0.157°C", let alone find trends in such crap data.

What chutzpa!

Jim-out-of-touch-with-reality-Thompson reminds us of his special powers once
again.

I DO have "special powers". Don't I keep you constantly annoyed, you
worthless POS and worse, _posing_ as a "scientist" ?:-)

What's the name of that diploma mill where you got your fake PhD ?:-)


Jim gives a proper engineers response, not a political-religious
response.

Slowman will never understand that. Slowman's behavior is actually
the epitome of political-religious extremism, insisting on everyone's
adherence or suffer the "punishment" ;-)


As far as Crut-3V measurements are concerned the max and min readings
from each station are averaged to give "the average temperature". If
the temp is 30C for 16 hours and 10C for 8 hours then "the average
temperature" is 20C rather than 23.3C. Then allow for all the site
problems and measurement errors and heat island effects which will
give high raw readings.

Then the individual crud is compensated and averaged and then
recompensated to allow for the fact that there is not a proper
distribution of measurement sites.

For Siberia, for example, a totally inadequate number of masurement
sites are overweighted to try and compensate for the lack of data
points.

After all this you have the magic "average world temperature" for the
day.

Take 1 place data and generate 3 place (claimed) accuracy. Many of my
teachers warned me of those idiots.

It's what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.
