The world according to Jim

Here.

Excerpt:
Certainly the further Jimmy and the lads extrapolate the warmer they can make the world seem but is there any point in pretending we can tell the temperature 1200 Kms from the nearest thermometer? That’s the equivalent of taking New York, New York’s temperature with a thermometer in Atlanta, Georgia.

Satellite-derived data suggests the world is at or near “average” while HadCRUT3, if their December result is consistent with the year’s trend, will come in at about 1 or 2 tenths above the 1961-1990 average. Meanwhile Jim guesses about temperatures 1200 Km from the nearest measurement and comes up with numbers 3-6 times higher.

For this kind of “science” we should re-engineer society? Seriously?
