Typical.
Another example of the wonderful "science" behind the myth that is HIGW. |
It would only be an issue if the US temperature record had been biased significantly by these 1/3 of stations.
Either they don't alter the record significantly, or the algorithm used to compile the record has taken care of the biases, because if you take away the 1/3 of sites that are bad and only use the ones that remain, you get a trend very close to the global temperature record.
