What Proportion of Weather Stations Show Warming?

The HCLIM database contains the original meteorological records of thousands of weather stations based in 118 countries around the world with some of the records going back into the 19th century. This database had no records from Antarctica so we added in the data from Turner et al, 2019.

Of 1427 stations in this database that have reasonably complete data since 1970, 1379 of them show a warming trend and only 48 show cooling.

Imagine tossing a coin 1427 times and only getting 48 heads. You wouldn’t take seriously a claim the coin was fair, so you also shouldn’t take seriously any claim the world isn’t warming.
