NC Media Watch: Is KVMR moving to the center?

Recently President Elect Obama gave a video presentation to the Governor's Climate Conference which I blogged on here. Following this video Brian Bahouth, KVMR New Director, interviewed Dr Robert Balling to give some balance to the discussion. Audio file of the interview is here (click on Discussion about Climate Change with Dr. Robert Balling Jr. and listeners.. to get the audio file) I will admit, I was surprised that KVMR would be giving balance to this global warming story. Congratulations to Brian and KVMR!

Weather Channel nixes “Forecast Earth”, possibly Cullen « Watts Up With That?

I’ve been following this story since yesterday, but the details kept being somewhat nebulous. Since WaPo has it, I’ve decided it is safe to consider reasonably accurate now. It looks like TWC has ditched their entire environmental unit, and possibly also host Heidi Cullen...

NASA Study Confirms Climatic Impact of Weather Station Relocation « The Unbearable Nakedness of CLIMATE CHANGE

Perhaps there is a good reason why the study below is not mentioned in Watts Up With That or at surfacestations.org. Perhaps it’s just me unable to use Google properly. Or for some reason I am the first one making the connection.

So in full glare of all my ignorance I point to this Poster Presentation at the 16th Applied Climatology Conference, American Meteorological Society, Jan. 14-18, 2007, San Antonio, TX (joint with the 14th Symposium on Meteorological Observations and Instrumentation):

Patzert, W.C., S. LaDochy, J. K. Willis, and T. Mardirosian, 2007: Will the real Los Angeles stand up: Impacts of a station move on climate records (and record weather) (short Abstract) (long Abstract)

Moving a weather station away from the city resulted in cooler, drier, and less extreme weather. And in a “discontinuity in the records”. That appears to vindicate all the work done by Anthony Watts and surfacestations indeed.
