“Absorbing heat all day long - releasing heat all night. Wonderful!”

And in the commercial greenhouse biz they call that one the . . .
“greenhouse effect”.

Gary: Consider that the warming bias that is there now was not there in 1900. I believe in the basic shape of the 1930s upswing, followed by the eenie-weenie Ice age (EWIA), followed by SOME sort of warming.

But all you gotta do is to *ahem* “adjust” the left end down a wee dram and add a tad of warm bias to the right end (as violations overtake the stations MUCH faster than they do the earth as a whole), and there you have it:

“Manmade” global warming!

Is there any other station at the same altitude within 100 miles? How do the charts compare? Any station within 50 miles?

Anthony -
I see that there’s a parking lot filled with transformers. They may not be on, but they sure will have some huge amount of thermal mass. Absorbing heat all day long - releasing heat all night. Wonderful!

Looks like they’ve got some fairly stiff tumble weed controls in place in nearby fields as well. Just a wee bit of albedo mod.

If not for the photo documentation it would be hard to believe the standards could be so flagrantly ignored. And yet I can see the 1940 to 1960 downward trend and then a leveling turning to an upward trend beginning about 1980 - just like so many other sites. The power plant heating bias surely is there, but there seems to be that underlying signal as well. Hopefully you can find clean stations reasonably nearby for comparisons.
