Oh boy, is this maybe a BIG zinger for the AGW crew?? Tell me what you think!

Bad Paint Job = Rising Surface Temperatures?

"...In a nutshell, nobody seems to have experimentally investigated this issue I raised. Last year I posted an essay on the subject of paint and weather stations shelters at www.globalwarmingindex.com but the idea I've had goes back to the early 1990's, and I haven't experimentally investigated it either. It seems that weather stations shelters known as Stevenson Screens (the white chicken coop like boxes on stilts housing thermometers outdoors) were originally painted with whitewash, which is a lime based paint, and reflective of infra-red radiation, but its no longer available, and newer paints have been used that much different IR characteristics. ..."

Interesting to note the photo of the Stevenson Screen in Monterey...next to a parking lot....and the responses.

The number of monitoring stations has also been reduced.

BOTH the Republicans and Democrats want to use the lethal and coercive powers of the state. There is no difference in my mind between arresting someone without a warrant and holding them indefinitely and forcing others to pay for something they find morally repugnant, such as abortion. Politicians, as a class, all, in the end, seem to value power over others more than the welfare of the country.

Once again, I am astonished that this country was so fortunate to have men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Payne, and all the other founding fathers around to write the constitution. Now if we can only hold on to it!!
