CRUT4 revison of the Murray-Darling Basin grid box temperature data – is this the worst warming tweak ever by the UKMO / Jones et al team ?

Many long term Australian temperature stations have data well back into the 1800’s. Often these 19C data show warmth on a scale with modern decades. See my two graphics from 1991. Although the Jones et al 1986 data included very few of the long term Australian non-Capital city data – in 1994 many of these … Continue reading CRUT4 revison of the Murray-Darling Basin grid box temperature data – is this the worst warming tweak ever by the UKMO / Jones et al team ? →

Some early contact with bias and mythology in the Australian Bureau of Meteorology BoM near two decades ago

4 Comments

I noted very early on that many long term small town sites were as warm in the 1880’s as they were in the 1980’s and when I … Continue reading Some early contact with bias and mythology in the Australian Bureau of Meteorology BoM near two decades ago →
