I have been invited to give a presentation at the International Climate Change Conference in New York City today. My presentation is titled:

A Hands-On Study of Station Siting and Data Quality Issues for the United States Historical Climatology Network

It will be a much updated version of the presentation I gave at Dr. Roger Pielke’s conference in August 2007 at UCAR.

Sunday night was opening registration and a welcome reception. There are over 500 attendees, and nearly 100 presentations being given.

I was surprised to learn that Al Gore had been offered an opportunity to address this conference, and his usual $200,000 speaking fee and expenses were met, but that he declined.
