This will be a quiet weekend at the Farm, with most of us away from our keyboards. I am leaving tonight for Rhode Island for a three-day sail around The Islands, and I know Bird Dog will be away too. Hoping to stop by Cuttyhunk again, and hoping to find the mermaid in the photo somewhere in the harbor - if she isn't one of Theo's girlfriends.

NOAA doesn't want you to know how they get their temperature data. I suspect they don't want further embarassment of people finding their thermometers on asphalt parking lots and next to A/C exhaust vents. Many more details from Ace. And Coyote explains it all in depth.
Warmest recent year? 1934. They made a math mistake.
And regarding that so-called bogus claim that people are being paid by Big Corn, Big Coal, Big Wind, Big Oil, Big Electricity, Big Car, and Big Peanut to be climate deniers - it's true. I don't know where it comes from, but every time we write a piece skeptical about climate change or whatever it's called, we receive, in the mail, $10,000 in cash. Ten 1000 dollar bills in a bank wrapper, with no return address on the brown envelope with a DC postmark. It's only right that we should come clean about this to our readers because our integrity is important to us. We assure our readers that this has no effect on our writings whatsoever. We have never asked, but we assume other bloggers get the same envelope and are just waiting for the right moment to mention it.
