You can tell that in the map in the article above.

Here you go:<br /><br /><a href="https://blog.hotwhopper.com/2020/01/more-than-10-years-on-anthony-watts-at.html" rel="nofollow">More than 10 years on, Anthony Watts at WUWT is still befuddled by temperature anomalies</a><br /><br />By the way, if there's a change in anything not to do with climate in the CRN weather stations, the records may need adjustment (homogenisation). Could be an instrument replacement or a change in the surrounding vegetation or whatever. You might not like it, but it's the wise thing to do.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-70124090306022902662020-01-17T23:11:38.682+11:002020-01-17T23:11:38.682+11:00Here is today's question: how small enough a p...Here is today's question: how small enough a part of the planet's surface, and how short a time period, would some prick need to use to deny the planet is warming?
