Climate Skeptic: Global Warming Is Caused by Computers- About: Global Warming Talk

The time between whipping away his own lantern and seeing his partnerâs lantern would be the time for the round trip plus the time for reflex action. That longer time interval would equal the time for light to travel the longer distance plus the reflex time, which would be the same as for the shorter distance. Suppose they have a time of observation that makes spring look cooler, and fall look warmer, but then switch in summer to a time of observation that makes spring look warmer and fall look cooler. So Time of Observation bias, when time of observation is constant, averages out over a year to zero, and when changed in a year can only affect that single year's annual average. Now I don't know what the models behind this adjustment say about estimated time of observation switches, but that adjustment must fall back to zero eventually, as there are only so many stations that can make such a switch, eventually all of them will have switched. read more
