The Global Thermometer is back in action




I will have it ready for 1/1/11

bio -fuels destroy engines that are not designed for it--many lawsuits about lawnmowers and boat motors destroyed due to ethanol!!

Well there you go the ultimate accolade NOAA are dishing me up exactly the same data every hour in just 4 mins

They have deployed http://www.akamai.com/html/about/index.html to cache a copy of their data

so as you can see below my "Global thermometer" has flat lined and I now get the same data from midnight last night every hour of the day




So "Big Brother" really doesn't want mere mortals like you and me having access to the truth about our climate


Any US taxpayer like to help me out here?

The NOAA website has this to say about the freedom of information act

NOAA Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
The Freedom of Information Act (5 USC 552), was enacted in 1966. FOIA provides that any person has a right to obtain access to federal agency records , except to the extent that such records (or portions of them) are protected from public disclosure by one of nine FOIA exemptions or by one of three special law enforcement record exclusions. This right is enforceable in court . The Federal FOIA does not provide access to records held by state or local government agencies, or by businesses or individuals. States have their own statutes governing public access to state and local records and they should be consulted for further information about them.




Here's the server policy and use of data policy

About the information on this U.S. Government server

This operational server maintains a current database of meteorological and hydrological data, historical data, and written information generated by the NWS or received from other official sources. In addition, this server accesses in realtime a selection of current official weather observations, forecasts, and warnings from U.S. government sources for use by the national and international community. In an effort to enhance the science, experimental products may be accessible on this server and care must be taken when using such products as they are intended for research use.

This server is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week . Timely delivery of data and products from this server through the Internet is not guaranteed. Official NWS dissemination systems which can provide timely delivery of data and products are listed below.

NOAA Weather Radio,
NOAA Weather Wire,
EMWIN®,
Family of Services (FOS),
NOAAPORT,
and your local National Weather Service.


Use of Data and Products
The information on government servers are in the public domain , unless specifically annotated otherwise, and may be used freely by the public so long as you do not 1) claim it is your own (e.g. by claiming copyright for NWS information -- see below), 2) use it in a manner that implies an endorsement or affiliation with NOAA/NWS, or 3) modify it in content and then present it as official government material. You also cannot present information of your own in a way that makes it appear to be official government information..

Before using information obtained from this server special attention should be given to the date & time of the data and products being displayed.

The user assumes the entire risk related to its use of this data. NWS is providing this data "as is," and NWS disclaims any and all warranties, whether express or implied, including (without limitation) any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

We are not responsible for the contents of any "off-site" web pages referenced from NWS servers.





I'm pretty sure I have complied with every element of the policy


So there you go it just goes to show we are not all equal in this world. Some are more equal than others.


So it's night from a relatively mild but but blowy UK as yet another storm comes through. I'd like to show you the empirical data on just how mild but it looks like I'm barred from that club

Sleep well

I am now absolutely certain that the NOAA DNS entries now have the akamai.net caching proxy servers provided in front of the public facing server for everyone wherever you are

So the formerly available hourly data updates have been taken away from us all

They cache a copy and serve up the data from the proxy servers rather than the webserver. There's a 24 hour cache expiry time so the dynamic hourly data that was available to us all is now a 24 hour snapshot in time

This has the effect of hiding the formerly available temperature trend data away from the common man

Not important to know how a deep low is progressing your way or a heat wave or a cold snap? Now NOAA are not proving you with the timely info you need to plan the appropriate actions, the info provided could now be up to 23 hours old

The knock on effect being we cannot now collect the data to potentially disprove the alarming claims of the warmists.

Which for us, who haven't swallowed the hype, is the inconvenient truth
