What Fresh Hell Is This? NOAA Claims Temperature Accuracy Doesn't Matter

A veteran meteorologist disassembles the spin from the NOAA, via Watts Up With That, whose commentary is worth a look too.

It's called ClimateGate, people, and the turning point came, I think we'll agree eventually, in November 2009.
