“Art Horn: a remarkable statement from NOAA“. Anthony Watts wants us to know that right-wing partisan website Pajamas Media’s meteorologist, Art Horn, shares his obsession, and outrage, over weather station trivia.
The following remarkable statement now appears on the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) site:
For detecting climate change, the concern is not the absolute temperature — whether a station is reading warmer or cooler than a nearby station placed on grass — but how that temperature changes over time.
Welcome to 1950, Art! You too Anthony. This has always been true. That’s the difference between studying weather and studying climate.
Sigh. One day the penny will drop. And rattle around for hours.
P.S. Why do I keep looking at “Art Horn” and seeing “ad hom”?
Wott's Up With That? 
What is it about the term anomaly that just doesn’t get through to these people?
My best guess is if they think or believe one item isn’t completely correct, then everything that follows is wrong.
Maybe that’s why they don’t admit to, change the subject, or simply ignore when their own mistakes are pointed out to them.
There is a real disconnect in the reasoning ability of these people.
