Results from the Berkeley Earth project data fits existing NASA and NOAA temperature records like a glove
Climate skeptic Anthony Watts continues to ignore the glaring conclusion of a study he once heavily promoted, the Berkeley Earth Project (Shown and linked above), and is now implying the lead scientist on that study, who he once praised, is engaging in antics. [Read more…]

The latter represents what my insurance company had pre-negotiated with medical venders.
