My favourite weather forecast



They'll draw yellow circles around anything these days

The ultimate in Alarmism

Panic there's zero chance of Tropical Cyclone formation !!!!

Given the reliability seen above it makes you wonder how the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature paper came up with this



Which it is claimed has been generated from a database of 39,390 weather stations that have appeared since 1800

One person in particular was Richard Muller, a physics professor from the University of California, Berkeley, and Chair of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Project. The project began primarily as a challenge to the rigor of the IPCC’s methods, especially in light of accusations of discarded records and manipulation of available climate data. To address this, the two-year project looked at land temperature data where warming is the greatest, and included over 1.6 billion measurements from more than 39,000 temperature stations around the globe. This study should be then, by all regards, the definitive word on this subject because it looked at every available record, whereas the IPCC discarded thousands of measurements from hundreds of stations because of the “poor” quality of the data. Effectively, the Berkeley EST Project listened to the complaints od the skeptic community and addressed them decisively. So what then did the project find? The results showthat about one-third of the world's temperature stations have recorded cooling temperatures, while two-thirds have recorded warming. The two-to-one ratio clearly reflects global warming, and the changes at the locations that showed warming were typically between 1-2ºC, much greater than the IPCC's average of 0.64ºC. They even confirmed the infamous "hockey stick" graph, the much maligned temperature record which shows a sharp increase in temperatures over the last century.
