Thanks for adding more information and an update to the post I made here on the members blog 16 days ago, <href="http://www.barking-moonbat.com/index.php/bark/bark_glow_bull_warming_california_style/">"Glow Bull Warming, California Style"</a>. This story is slowing catching fire. Once it really gets going, I semi-predict that every weather station in the country will be visited and the results tabulated somewhere online. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if over half of them are poorly situated or uncalibrated.
When things seem too good or too bad to be true, always verify the data.
