"The Bottom Line Independent analyses conclude the impact of station temperature data adjustments is not very large. Upward adjustments of global temperature readings before 1950 have, in total, slightly reduced century-scale global temperature trends. Since 1950, however, adjustments to input data have slightly increased the rate of global warming recorded by the temperature record by less than 0.1 degree Celsius (less than 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit)."

The USCRN data are from too short of a time frame to be very reliable (see the uncertainty in the quotation below of -.58 to 2.31 degrees F per decade). 2. Even if you ignore #1 above and fit a regression line, the trend is an increase of .86 degrees F per decade, which is a higher estimate than that related to the NOAA ClimDiv dateset. 3. See the second paragraph in the quotation below (from the site references above) about matching the USCRN data to the weather station network. 4. The USCRN covers 2% of the surface of the earth, which is just a wee bit short of your claim of 25%. "Since it achieved nationwide coverage at the start of 2005, the warming rate (trend) in USCRN annual temperatures is 0.86°F per decade, with uncertainties ranging from -0.58°F to 2.31°F per decade. By contrast, the historical NOAA ClimDiv dataset only shows 0.64°F (ranging from -0.80°F to 2.07°F) per decade. As this is a relatively short time period and only covers around 2% of the surface of the Earth, we shouldn’t read too much into these numbers as an indication of longer-term changes, but we can say that USCRN data is completely consistent with the long-term warming trend, and suggestions that the USCRN “finds there has been no warming for the past 14 years at least” are categorically false. In 2016, I was the lead author on a paper in GRL1 that looked in detail at differences between USCRN and historical weather station networks. We found that not only did USCRN match the weather station network quite well over the full US, but when comparing pairs of nearby USCRN and historical weather stations, the adjustments made by NOAA to historical weather stations bring them into much closer agreement with USCRN stations. This is true even when USCRN stations are not used as part of the adjustment process" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All kinds of energy because they are way behind where they need to be for their total citizenry to be supplied adequately. There is nothing magical about renewable energy for them. It is just part of "all of the above." They are working to get their people supplied. The West is working to get off of "fossil" fuel and use electricity from "renewable" methods that have a handy on/off switch to de-industrialize gain the full control of their citizens to get them into chains like China. The "climate" science is nothing but political science or "experts" wouldn't be "correcting" data from the past and they could use their so-called models to match historic (not corrected) weather records from the past. Governments are wasting incredible amounts of natural resources to finalize their control. All of the climate "activists", physical or "experts" are useful idiots helping them. It is astounding how being so much more educated can make some people so notsosmart!!! Albub I posted that China were building renewables like no other country and backed that up with data and facts. You have just posted your opinion with nothing else. I never disputed that a varied energy mix is a sensible solution to those countries that have the relevant resources to do so, Ive even said this on this site many times. Regardless of whether you beliecve or disbelieve the climate science the fact is renewables are an important part of the powergen/energy mix and also EV's will be adopted globally once the infrastructure is in place, speak to any automobile manufacturer.

As a result, China is on track to set a new record high for coal consumption in 2023. This trend is set to continue.
