ASOS vs SJC vs Nearby Town « Musings from the Chiefio

We are about to commit $Billions, and perhaps even $Trillions of national treasure to mitigate “global warming” that might well just turn out to be “splice artifacts” from shifting our temperature history from Liquid In Glass equipment over grass fields to ASOS over tarmac near jet exhaust. At a minimum we ought to make sure we have an understanding of what that change has done to the temperature history. To say “nothing” or “we can adjust it out” is not enough, because it isn’t “nothing” and we can’t “adjust it out” if we don’t know what it really has been.
