A crazy New Zealander

Below is about an aging New Zealand climate scientist, Jim Salinger, who is still a Warmist despite all the recent new data -- which he appears to ignore -- and despite the fact that his own data show a warming from 1945 rather than the many years later that is usually alleged. So much of what he says is demonstrably wrong or unfounded that it would be pointless to rebut it so I simply follow the report below with an extended comment from Dr. Vincent Gray, an even more senior N.Z. climate scientist. I suspect that Salinger is not quite "all there". Or else he is a psychopathic crook

C3: New Peer-Research Finds CO2 Warming Not Critical: Mexican Metropolitan Areas Experiencing A Critical 9.0+°F UHI Effect Instead

It's been well documented that urban areas experience much higher temperatures than rural areas. Since most of the climate network's global thermometers are located in urban/airport areas, the major temperature datasets include a significant urban heat bias that has not been properly corrected for. An example of this UHI phenomenon is the research data produced from the Mexicali City urban area.

Sun blamed for Europe’s colder winters - physicsworld.com

When the Sun’s magnetic output is low, winters in Europe tend to be cooler than average – whereas higher output corresponds to warmer winters. That is the conclusion of a new study by physicists in the UK and Germany that looked at the relationship between winter temperatures in England and the strength of the Sun's magnetic emissions over the last 350 years. The group predicts that, global warming notwithstanding, Europe is likely to continue to experience cold winters for many years to come.

Main Findings of the Citizen Audit of the 2007 IPCC report

# all 18,531 references cited in the 2007 IPCC report were examined
# 5,587 are not peer-reviewed
# IPCC chairman's claim that the report relies solely on peer-reviewed sources is not supported
# each chapter was audited three times; the result most favorable to the IPCC was used
