Today, I came across Greenie Watch, a blog written by John Ray, PhD., from Brisbane, Australia. Ray offers this “disclaimer” in its masthead:

“This site is in favour of things that ARE good for the environment. Most Greenie causes are, however, at best red-herrings and are more motivated by a hatred of people than anything else.”

Agreeing with Ray’s disclaimer, I knew I would probably agree with his thinking in the post that had initially attracted me to his site. In addition to good writing, the post includes a telling graphic. Here’s that post, USHCN Temperature Record of the Week: Lewiston, ID:

“To bolster our claim that ‘There Has Been Little Net Global Warming Over the Past 70 Years,’ each week we highlight the temperature record of one of the 1221 U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) stations from 1930-2000. This issue’s temperature record of the week is from Lewiston, ID. During the period of most significant greenhouse gas buildup over the past century, i.e., 1930 and onward, Lewiston’s mean annual temperature has cooled by 0.48 degrees Fahrenheit. Not much global warming here!”

Click here to see the graphic and read the rest of his post. Afterward, be sure to send a “Good on ya, mate” e-mail to John — at jonjayray (at) gmail.com.
