8.7 Temperature Measurement
8.7.1 The Importance of Accurate Figures
Accurate temperature recording and analysis are critical, especially given the uncertainties about
the science of climate change. They are not!

8.7.2 Land and Ocean Recording

80
The total surface of the Earth is 510,072,000 sqkm of which 70.8% is water : the USA accounts for
1.5% of the Earth’s surface and Russia 12.5%.

Land temperature recording started in earnest in the 1850s reaching a peak between 1960 and
1990 when there were around 6,000 measuring stations worldwide. These have been reduced to
around 4,300 of which between 900 and 1,200 are referenced in the data sets discussed earlier.
There are still many stations that are fully operational but are ignored by "believing"
climatologists: some would say only because they do not support the “global warming”
narrative.

The rise in supposed global average temperature coincided with the reduction and exclusion of
some measuring stations as shown in figure 17:

Figure 6. 17: Relationship of Reported Temperature Rises and Closed Down Weather Stations

Stations in the Andes and Bolivia have virtually vanished from paleo data bases and temperatures from these
areas are now determined by stations hundreds of miles away on the coast or in the Amazon. However, their
historical records remain in the database thus reducing the baseline.
