"You don't understand the adjustment process for surface temperatures. "

I'd say it was you and serial liar Goddard who don't understand it.

"I don't believe it would be possible to really accurately adjust historical"
Faith is very important to deniers; it's all they have.

Oh, look; another thing to adjust for...

Early global warming


How much did the world warm during the transition to Stevenson screens around 1900?


Stevenson screen in Poland.

The main global temperature datasets show little or no warming in the land surface temperature and the sea surface temperature for the period between 1850 and 1920. I am wondering whether this is right or whether we do not correct the temperatures enough for the warm bias of screens that were used before the Stevenson screen was introduced. This transition mostly happened in this period.

This is gonna be a long story, but it is worth it. We start with the current estimates of warming in this period. There is not much data on how large the artificial cooling due to the introduction of Stevenson screens is, thus we need to understand why thermometers in Stevenson screens record lower temperatures than before to estimate how much warming this transition may have hidden. Then we compare this to the corrections NOAA makes for the introduction of the Stevenson screen. Also other changes in the climate system suggest there was warming in this period. It is naturally interesting to speculate what this stronger early warming may mean for the causes of global warming....
