NOAA publishes altered data or hides accurate data, sad to say. See Tony Heller's work cross referencing old published reports with the current electronic data they provide. He's found they've misreported temps, forgot to include hurricane's and cut off data just when including the eliminated numbers would disprove their argument.

That's largely my assumption...but haven't figured out best way to test this with the data I have.

The River Thames in London freezes.

I live in Japan, and history tells us that Japan at the time suffered from starvation and riots due to poor harvests.

I think the cause depends on the mood of the sun, but even now scientists cannot predict it. The earth is just a tiny dot in outer space.

Therefore, the most important thing is to pray to the sun as a god to reduce radiation (just kidding).

I think it's dangerous to say we're just trying to lower CO2.

It's that damn capitalism's fault!

I found this post - basically reinforcing your observation here via a different route - very interesting: https://wmbriggs.substack.com/p/bring-back-global-warming-guest-post

He argues that climate is a localised phenomenon, and there's no such thing as global climate.

Averaging the temperature across the globe is ... not scientific.

I have also read "Almost all the global warming has been in the winter, at night, and in the far north." This further reinforces the definition of climate as being a local phenomenon, but also adds detail to what "warming" actually means. Not sure how the author determines this and have not confirmed it, but was almost hoping that is what you were going to dive into.

Right. I think using averages is a decent approximation on a local level, but I don't even know how you average on a global scale. How do you weight the average? By land area? Since we are concerned about how "change" will affect people, do we weight the average by where the population is? It's not only that I don't think we have the right answer for this, I don't think there is a right answer.
