    This is really interesting though. If a trend is a true average truly global , then that trend ought to be visible across ANY subset of that data. The fact that it isnt shows that warming is only a feature of big cities. Smaller cities and rural areas dont show the trens. Therefore the trend is NOT general, it is specific. I would love to see this research blasted across all themedia, with in depth follow ups anbd discussion. It wont be, but thats the way thebias is now. -- modified at 5:57 Tuesday 27th November, 2007

    That's not true, especially in a local sense. And by local I mean local in relation to a function. You can find local trends in a stochastic process that when you rescale the function the trend completely disappears. Similarly, scaling down a function can cause trends to vanish. Thus you can't expect any finite subset of a sample to display the same trend as the population. Duh.

      Really? I am no expert in statistics, so am happy to be corrected, but I don't think this statement is correct.

        A comprehensive climatological study of over 600 cities both in North America and around the rest of the world ... if one removed the 15 largest cities, the "concrete and asphalt jungles", from the study, Mother Earth would have actually COOLED OFF about .4 of one degree Fahrenheit in the last six decades. ... dozens of cities, mostly with populations under 300,000 people, that actually turned COOLER during the balance of the 20th Century. These cities included; Billings, Montana, Bismarck, North Dakota, Boise, Idaho, Fargo, North Dakota, Fairbanks, Alaska, Seattle, Washington, Spokane, Washington and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho which cooled by .4 of one degree Fahrenheit from 1941 to 2001. [^] Of course these people are total whacko crackpot non scientists and probably backed by Exon so we can totally dismiss what they say.

          The large cities can actually be up to 5 degrees hotter than its surrounding area.

            If anyone can think of a more succinct way of displaying complete and utter ignorance of all things statistical, I would like to hear it. For now, this statement tops my list.

                Ooohh you would like that. An old wrinkly homosexual man dressed as an old wrinkly strait women. I bet thats the only thing that can make you hard, not even the Viagra. Its too damn bad your too fat to see your own dick when its hard, but that is probably a good thing. If you were to see your own dick you would start drooling and mumble in high pitched grandma voice "Oh daddy" while you imagine straitening out the wrinkles of an old man's back thighs and ass while pulverizing his soft diarrhea with your moldy tool you fucking freak of nature. Go back to the slime pit where you belong.

                Word, write letters and sh*t yo.

                                        At least he's going to school. All you're doing is sitting around daddy's rental house and swilling cough syrup making an ass of yourself.

                                        To introduce faith christianity must destroy reason, to introduce salvation it must destroy happiness.
