Anthony Watts, a broadcast meteorologist, is leading an effort to photograph weather stations and document their quality. He has now photographed 1/3 of USHCN weather stations and found that only 15% of them meet the minimum requirements of the NOAA. The remaining 85% have a significant warm bias.

Steve McIntyre, a leading statistician in climate science, did a reconstruction of US temps using only good quality stations identified by Watta. McIntyre learned that the warmest years in the US were 1934, then 1921, then 1998 and then 2006.

If natural climate variation in the 1920s and 1930s caused warmer temperatures than we have experienced in the last 20 years, why is there any reason to be scared of global warming?
Why are the alarmists so slow to learn the facts?
