Ye Editor's two cents:
I think the key issue is that these U.S. weather station siting issues were first revealed in 2009, and NOAA apparently could not care less that they still exist in 2022. For laymen, weather station siting is an external indication of science integrity. And NOAA does not care. Because NOAA does not care, we can't trust any of their work.
We have no idea if their supposedly well sited USCRN network of weather stations results in the general public getting an accurate national average temperature number. The national average temperature is whatever NOAA tells us. But why should we trust them?
Some climate alarmist trained parrots claim NOAA's other weather station averages must be accurate because the numbers are similar to the USCRN average since 2005. But it is very possible that USCRN is also not accurate. And USCRN certainly does not cover from 1880 to 2005.
Most of today’s climate science does not depend upon the presumed temperature record that is now known to be inaccurate.
Most of today's climate (junk) science is always wrong wild guess predictions of a coming climate crisis. Wrong for 50 years so far. The predictions are not based on actual climate change in the past 100 years -- they are for future global warming at a rate 2x to 3x faster than in the cherry picked 1975 to 2022 period.
It seems to me that if NOAA had perfect U.S. weather station siting, and the resulting national average temperature was accurate and unbiased, there would still be global climate change scaremongering -- predictions of doom -- to create irrational fears of the future climate.
To make people demand that their governments "do something". And that is exactly the goal of climate scaremongering. More government power over the private sector.
