I'm sure he was very helpful, even in 1989 JBowyer.

Yes, temperatures in South East Melbourne may have been very stable for the 100 years previous.

However, South East Melbourne is but only one tiny blip on the Australian Continent and is hardly representative on a regional scale, let alone on a global scale.

Perhaps you should make a more recent inquiry

if you really are interested.

You could try some research yourself, it isn't that hard:

You're such a phony qanda; linking to Trewin's technical manual as though you know what it means; for instance pages 62 and 63 of the technical manual are relevant.

For purposes of true adjustment neutrality the equality between -ve and +ve adjustments over the whole of the particular temperature sites is not important.

The crucial point is whether those adjustments are neutral over the particular sites. Table 6 and Figure 19 do not tell us whether there has been equality of trend produced by the equality between -ve and +ve adjustments. That is because a particular site can be overall -vely adjusted but still have a +ve trend produced by the adjustment and, to a lessor extent because overall the trend has been increased or made +ve by the adjustments, vice-versa.

In otherwords, the adjustments have created a part of the trend. That is wrong; but you won't admit that will you qanda?

You believe what you want to believe, Anthony - that's what fake sceptics do.

"You're such a phony qanda; linking to Trewin's technical manual as if you know what it means......"

Now that is funny! :)

coming from cohenite -

and directed at qanda.

(always entertaining on the climate threads :)

cohenite,

Here's a pertinent article - all about "adjustments" and how "contrarians treat "adjustment" as a bad word..." - except in their own research.

Your hero, Anthony Watts, the weatherman, gets a special mention, as does Fox News and Spencer.
