Scott Mandia : 18th Century Satellite Denier | Real Science
The reason that people use landfalling hurricanes as an historical measure, is because they didn’t have satellites and radar to detect peak one minute wind speeds at altitude in the middle of the Atlantic during the 19th century. Does Mandia think that Hurricanes are now steering clear of land just to help climate deniers? Is he actually as stupid as he pretends to be?

C3: NOAA Conducts Large-Scale Experiment And Proves Global Warming Skeptics Correct
Most global warming skeptics believe that humans have some measurable impact on global temperatures and the climate, but that natural climate forces, over longer periods, will overwhelm the human influence...in addition, skeptics believe that the human influence will not result in the hysterical catastrophic climate disasters presented by doomsday pundits...

Could someone help me out here? It isn't obvious to me that the information in the article supports its conclusion. It shows that the new (USCRN) temperature level is higher than the older (USHCN) figures. But that isn't the fundamental climate issue. The issue is rate of warming. If every temperature estimate for the past 150 years is 1 deg warmer than the actual temperature, that doesn't change the rate of warming over that period.
Assuming the higher UHI impact shown is correct, one might infer that current theory hasn't adequately adjusted for UHI, so exaggerates apparent warming. But that issue has already been raised by skeptics, and warmists have dismissed the issue by explaining that UHI is insignificant because of the population density distribution of USHCN stations. I (total non-scientist) have not seen where this dismissal has been refuted by skeptics. And wasn't it the conclusion of the Andrew Watts Surface Station Project?
Thanks,
Neil Ferguson
