via small dead animals: The Sound Of Settled Science

It would seem that Kate Macmillan and the denizens of the aforementioned blog are all in a tizzy.  It seems that they have found yet another photo of a badly placed “official” station and that this is just more proof that the lefties want to destroy capitalism as we know it.

She links to this site http://gallery.surfacestations.org/main.php?g2_itemId=39629&&g2_fromNavId=xa6c84115&g2_GALLERYSID=065e5a1424c5698d71d429c4f647d7b7

and repeats the claim that this is an Official NOAA climate station.

But something is missing…proof that this is the OFFICIAL NOAA Climate station, and not a volunteer weather station as indicated on page 13 of this document…

But this is not the first time Kate et. al. have done this.  One of her favorite activities is tracking down badly placed weather stations (they are out there) and posting about them.  The implication is that since there are some badly placed station, all weather information gathered anywhere cannot be trusted, therefore Global warming is not happening.

This allows them to ignore ice shelves breaking off, the Arctic being almost ice free for the first time in historic times, and in particular the rise in the global temperature average.
