NOAA & Canada Admit To Major Problems With Surface Temp Data

• "At the meeting in Exeter, UK September 7-9, 2010 , Surface temperature datasets for the 21st Century, there were several  candid admissions with respect to the robustness of the global and USA surface temperature record that are being used for multidecadal surface temperature trend assessments (such as for the 2007 IPCC report).....There are very important admissions in these presentations.  First, outside of the USA,  there is inadequate (or no) publicly available information on station histories, yet these data are still used to create a “homogenized” global average surface temperature trend which reaches up to the “highest level of government”.  Even in the USA, there are undocumented issues."

• "From the “we told you so time and again department”, Canadian weather data is a mess. It took an FOIA to get the “fess up” out in the open.....“The common assumption among users is that the data has been observed accurately, checked for mistakes and stored properly,” said the report, printed in June 2008. “It is profoundly disturbing to discover the true state of our climate data network and the data we offer to ourselves and the real world.”...The stinging assessment, obtained through an access-to-information request, suggests that Canada’s climate network infrastructure is getting progressively worse and no longer meets international guidelines."
