Ipstones Edge DCNN 4658 – Important Addendum – Iowa Climate Science Education

The above graph was kindly supplied by former professional auditor (and master brewer!) Dave Woolcock. As I detailed in my review of Lerwick, Dave has completed the monumental task of downloading all digitalised temperature records for all current and former Met Office weather stations from the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) archives. The above is the derived thirty year trend for Ipstones Edge.

In my original review of Ipstones Edge I put it to readers to judge the site for themselves based on the stated CIMO regulations and all the local relevant information I could supply. Whilst the Met Office marked the site down as a lowly Class 4 and an allegedly inaccurate site by up to +/- 2°C, I personally felt this was worthy of a fully accurate Class 2 status and genuinely representative of the wider surrounding area.

Most notably the site has a very diligent observer who not only maintains the overall site to a good and reliable quality but also attains perfection in readings – this is the (all but) 30 year record and bear in mind the start year was only the latter part of 1994. It doesn’t get better than this.

Dave’s excellent analysis is from every single unhomogenised, unmodified, fully authenticated temperature reading for an almost 30 year period from a premium quality and well maintained site. This is akin to the principles of the US climate reference network. Dave has supplied full references and spreadsheets of data used for full peer review if anyone feels predisposed to check.

So I will repeat that headline graph with the obvious question – does anyone feel in the slightest bit alarmed about the “dangers” of alleged “runaway climate change” that these accurate figures demonstrate does not even exist?
