The crux of may of the IPCC's arguments and all of James Hansen's arguments are based on ground based temperature measuring stations. The 'best' of these in the world is cited as the US based stations.
Meteorologist Anthony Watts has been a very busy man. With a number of volunteers he surveyed a large proportion of the measuring stations, took IR photos, checked the types of paints and other detailed analysis methods.
The result show that 7 in 8 are unreliable. Yes that is a lot. This also means that all the other world's stations are probably worse. Bottom line, ground based measurements cannot be trusted. So comments about hottest years, strike them. Temperatures rising since 1998 based on these measurements, rubbish.
The majority of the basis for Global Warming Believer's beliefs, trashed. Not sure what they have left but it really has no 'science' to support it now.
