I spent a few months recording temperature throughout the day, with a couple of weeks where I forgot. I did that on two separate years; the first time I did it for longer. So, rubbish stats (they were intended for comparing with the Met Office's +1 hour forecast) but at some point I averaged each year and found a temperature increase.

This isn't good evidence for climate change (UNDERSTATEMENT), but the fact that the structure of the data roughly matched the Met Office data suggests that at least that isn't faked.

I don't have the time nor equipment to conduct a rigorous study at the moment. If I felt like it when I had the time, I could purchase the equipment for not very much money, and run an experiment over a few years, but that'd take a while.

i admire your dedication! where i am its alway a bit colder than the official numbers, but thats just the microclimate.

I admire your dedication!

I got the data from my primary school's weather meter system, which I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw it. (It was affixed to a wall, which wasn't that great). I doubt I still have the data; I was in primary school at the time. But, the temperature data should've been fairly accurate, even though the wind data was completely trashed by children bashing the spinny cups thing to make it spin.

The primary motivating factor was boredom, not dedication.

Edit: I've got access to raw data from a weather balloon I helped launch (read: hindered the launch of); I could probably dig that up at some point and see if it matched. (Though that data was sent to the Met Office, so that wouldn't be too useful in determining the Met Office's accuracy.)

UA this character is a MSM forum slider. Here comes a novel.

I criticise the mainstream media (finally figured out what that acronym means! ☺) and I don't know what "forum slider" means. Why're you attacking me, if my arguments and statements are flawed? Unless they aren't, but you just don't like them.

It is absurd that you expect anyone to believe that you miraculously found SaidIt without knowing what MSM, or forum sliding is? It is incredible in the literal sense.

SaidIt is basically a group of Reddit/Voat exiles, who left because of the group-think shilling bullshit, and are all familiar with these tactics.

You just happened to find the ".net" address? On top of that, you parrot the MSM consensus on 95% of meaningful topics.

Let's hear some example of MSM ideas you don't support. Please include links to your posts as supporting evidence.

Edit: That's what I thought. All talk.

Just because I don't visit the site every day, means that I concede the argument? Since when?

I found Saidit via Fosstodon, FYI. If you look at my post history, you'll see that that's not a lie I came up with on the spot. You'd also know that if you asked, instead of immediately accusing.

I "parrot the MSM consensus" on 95% of meaningful topics that I post on, because there's not much where my interests (stuff I've researched) coincide with what's being posted. Just because the mainstream media's saying something, doesn't make it false, so there's no surprise there.

Let's hear some example of MSM ideas you don't support.

Happy to, if you tell me the attitudes of "the MSM" about stuff. I don't often follow the mainstream media, by the way, so I don't know what "their" attitudes are. From what I can tell from my limited observations, there's very little common ground between organisations; don't know the state of the press in America.

Please include links to your posts

I don't have the time to do that. Given that you said 95%, not 100%, though, it seems that you think that 1 in 20 of my posts are against the MSM, by whatever definition of "mainsteam media" you're using. That means that you've already acknowledged that I disagree with the MSM, and so I don't need to prove it to you.

If you like, though, you can perform the time-consuming job of trawling through my comment history analysing each view I've provided, and comparing it against what you perceive to be "the MSM consensus" in order to determine whether or not I agree with this seemingly-arbitrary metric. I will not.

That's what I thought. No substance. No evidence.

All talk.

Hard to dig through my comment history – I started in anger when you posted this comment, and carried on for a full hour because I just kept on going out of stubbornness. However, I found a comment that:

  • Very obviously criticised
  • Multiple media organisations; and
  • Was written to you.

I'm not searching further for another, better example because it is time-consuming.

The link you proceeded actually supports my argument. You even defend media "propaganda".

By your own admission, you couldn't find anything to suggest that you aren't a MSM parrot/apologist.

[–]wizzwizz4 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

By my own admission, I spent an hour looking for something that matched those criteria and found something. If you want something better, find it yourself.

Note that my "defence" of the media cited systematic flaws in the system as excuses. I wouldn't call that defending.
