You fail to mention that whether accurate or inaccurate it doesn’t matter when measuring a trend. Unless there is variability in the inaccuracy, your argument is moot as a foil against global warming.

The trend has been for NOAA to increase it’s adjustments to the raw data over time since the 70’s, and there is trend variability in the readings of stations near each other but positioned near and far from other sources of heat. Thus making your point moot.

We started this back at my point the video only had one item that addressed the book’s claim regarding the accuracy of the weather stations, and it was a weak claim due to using normalized data from those stations for the comparison. I continue to stand by that point. Any other red herrings? Disappearing islands? Stranded polar bears?
