How not to measure temperature, part 6

Ok folks, just when you think I could not possibly post any worse pictures of official climate stations, I yet again have more. I’d like to point out that I’ve only surveyed about 10 stations in California so far, and what you see posted here represents samples from those.

It gives you an idea of the magnitude of the problem.

Ok here is Tahoe City California, GISS ID 425724880010 and an active station of record. I was unable to locate the observer for this station but was able to speak with the property management people for the nearby condos.

The first picture is looking south over lake Tahoe. BTW the van is not mine, but belongs to the groundskeeper, and yes that’s where he parks it regularly. Note the doggie bags. There’s a walking path nearby.

Next picture, looking north, whats that, a tennis court within 25 feet of the station? Horrors.

Final picture. It seems the groundskeeper likes to burn the trash and paper he picks up on the grounds, guess where he does it?

Honest folks, I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.

The property management person I spoke with said the tennis court and condos was built in the early 80’s.

Here is the GISS plot, showing the data trends used in NASA’s Model E global Climate computer model

Note the jump and sustained plateau of temperature after 1980. Tennis anyone?
