First things first: to Grit, and Brit, to all readers and all the world: Happy New Year!!!
I was glad to receive a response from The Grit to my last post in our continuing dialogue concerning global warming.
I see two problems with the information you present.
First, area-weighting of the data is very suspicious. It implies that some areas are not well measured, which means that small errors in taking the measurements would be magnified. Also, with scanty placement of measuring equipment, local variations will not get filtered out.
