The Hockey Schtick
"...In point #4 Phil Jones says his "biggest worry is China. CMA [The Chinese Meteorological Agency] don't (sic) measure at airports, and they keep moving suburban locations a few more miles out as the cities expand...hope they will...send me their adjusted data (for site moves, but not urban influences). They are doing some reasonable work, but not seeing the big picture..."
As I understand this email, Phil Joneses biggest worry is that China doesn't have upwardly biased temperature records like many other parts of the world because they don't measure at airports and keep moving thermometers further out as the cities expand. What a terrible practice that is! And why isn't Phil interested in the urban influences data? It must be that the Chinese are not seeing the big picture... And what big picture would that be that Phil didn't want to put in writing in this email?"
