Muller also confesses that one-third of land based temperature stations worldwide show cooling rather than warming.
FORBES: Salvaging The Mythology Of Man-Caused Global Warming
The earth-shattering news is that the average land surface temperature of the planet is higher than it was 200 years ago.
FORBES: Keep This Bit of News On the QT: The Earth Is Round!!!
The Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich, England released almost all of the meteorological raw data it had from gathered from national meteorological services and grouped into a widely contested global land-temperature dataset, commonly known as CRUTEM.
FORBES: Climategate Researchers Release Long-Sought Raw Data on Global Temperatures
University of California, Berkeley physics professor Richard Muller analyzed land-based temperature readings from temperature stations around the world and found two-thirds indicate warming temperatures and one-third indicate cooling temperatures.
FORBES: The Death Of Global Warming Skepticism, Or The Birth Of Straw Men?
They then used that proxy data, which they dubbed the Paleo Index (PI) and compared it to the merged land-ocean surface temperature (MLOST) records developed by the National Climactic Data Center.
FORBES: New Study Shows Independent Evidence Of Global Warming
Such differences result from various assumptions regarding unknowns such as changing urbanization and other land use influences that contaminate surface temperature recordings.

The cold waters mean a large temperature contrast between the land and ocean -- conditions that favor the formation of a strong inversion layer that traps smog over cities, such as the Los Angeles, Calif.
The vaccines are picked up each month by the ten-member Pemba staff of VillageReach, which, in four Toyota Land Cruiser trucks, distributes them in temperature-controlled containers to rural clinics around the province.
The satellite images picked out the right type of afforested land, and topography, which, when combined with other data on soil types, rainfall, and temperature, produced a clear "Loa Loa map" of several African countries, including Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
