Statistics and Raw Temperature Data combine to create a compelling view of one of today’s most controversial topics!

So, how can we measure Global Temperatures? There is no Global Thermometer to record these values! However, we can look at individual locations and study changes over time (~40 years). And so, I am sharing charts of 27 locations across our beautiful country. Go ahead – look through the middle pages and take a peek!! Did you know the Department of Commerce maintains daily (and monthly average) temperatures of hundreds (perhaps 1000s) of locations within the United States of America? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is nested inside of the Commerce Department. The website is noted in Chapter 4 and is an eye opener to evidential, raw temperature data bases. Statistical Process Control (SPC) Charts have been around for a hundred years and professional quality managers use these charts to observe processes and recommend improvements. It’s uses are found mainly in manufacturing systems but can be used anytime there is normal variability in any area of science. I will state that I have never seen a statistical control chart in all of the literature I have read on Climate Change or Global Warming. Have you? I believe this short book is the first offering of studying these subjects using the basic, understandable charts to tell the complete story. And I think it is important. What are the results? What are your conclusions? Do we need more data and evidence?
