Canadian weather data being ignored.
U.S. government scientists have skewed global temperature trends by
ignoring readings from thousands of weather stations around the world, particularly those in
colder altitudes and more northerly latitudes, such as Canada.
NOAA and another U.S. agency, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) have not only reduced the total number of Canadian weather stations in the database, but have
"cherry picked" the ones that remain by
choosing sites in relatively warmer places, including more southerly locations, or sites closer to airports, cities or the sea -- which has a warming effect on winter weather.
