Earth's Temperature
In any attempt to understand climate, there first must be an examination of the temperature measurements that are purported to be the global average temperatures. How accurate are they is one of the first questions anyone would ask? What are the different methods of measurement and since the temperature readings are put forth most often as anomalies, how is that computed and what adjustments are being made? There indeed many questions to ask.
Much is made of the average annual global anomaly temperatures. There are a good many sources online to see and compute these various readings. In so doing it becomes clear very early on that the difference between datasets generated with different techniques and even the adjustments that some datasets receive much after the measurement time are larger than the actual readings themselves. This raises all kinds of questions as to the validity of all of this, and we hope in this section to lend some insights into these and other questions.
Prof Willie Soon on temperature data, criticism of his work unjustly by Gavin Schmidt - in the video below.
We should revisit occasionally what the proper role of government is. As the constitution was a good sense of direction, we need a core set of principles to add in order to deal with the future.
So many want to engineer society, remove risk, assist certain groups, rather than let individuals thrive and raise communities. Why?
Is Democracy where we all "get it good and hard" or is it the best means to a free society?
Should we roll with the special interests, or make the government achieve its proper role, what is that role, and how to do this?
When do deficits and governments become too large?
Government is becoming more elitist while trying to sell corrections to problems it created, what makes this possible?
These are the most relevant articles on temperature.
