Interesting findings on how the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) gathers it global warming data. Looks like they count fish stocks with a simialr disregard for common sense:

"So far we've surveyed 1,062 of them," said Anthony Watts, a meteorologist who began the tracking effort in 2007. "We found that 90 percent of them don't meet [the government's] old, simple rule called the '100-foot rule' for keeping thermometers 100 feet or more from biasing influence. Ninety percent of them failed that, and we've got documentation."

"Nearly every single weather station the U.S. government uses to measure the country's surface temperature may be compromised. Sensors that are supposed to be in empty clearings are instead exposed to crackling electronics and other unlikely sources of heat, from exhaust pipes and trash-burning barrels to chimneys ..."

Typical. When we went into the NOAA office in sliver spring md,
we were greeted like terrorists, they had 4+ armed guards at every building. All we asked for was a fishing Liaison to talk to.
(We wanted to ask someone to come view the rally & see the fishermen)
We were denied talking to anybody at noaa and were pushed away
without any answers to our questions. The reason there stuff is broken
is obvious, they are tucked away in this Ideological bubble that needs to be poped so that some common sence can be inserted.
NOAA is Broken & needs to be fixed
