text: The affect of local environment on temperature measurement is well known in the scientific community.  Given that fact, we are not making new science here.  As a scientist, however, I read reports like in this article and wonder what they mean.  There is no discussion of the temperature measurement and whether it has been corrected for environmental factors which are not trivially easy to identify.  The point is the matter was not discussed which is not surprising since the article is about weather and not climate change.  Many educated people would like to know more out of curiosity.  Science is about questions, not assumptions.  It is my life's work to ask questions.  They have lead me to hundreds of peer reviewed technical publications and approximately 80 US patents.  Thank you for the discussion.
