Just here to have my say so no real point in following me.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@richardgoodal12 Good grief. 😂

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

I have been recording the temperature all week using a calibrated, outside smart thermometer all week.

Met Office have been consistently reporting 2-3 degrees higher than my own readings all week.

I can accept a small amount of variance but 10% seems a lot to me.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@Irlheff Is that better or worse than not being bothered to read through 27 replies to see if multiple people had already made the same point?

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@Kenmare05 @NdabaningiMoyo Oh, well I guess I'll have to submit to your mind-reading skills.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@NdabaningiMoyo @54JohnBull I never made any claim - I thought we'd established that - except that we should definitely burn more oil.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@NdabaningiMoyo @DM_1986_ This is exactly how someone with knowledge responds.

Take note.

'Met Office' data is accrued through various readings obtained in locations not susceptible to being influenced by extraneous factors, such as reflected heat from buildings, or cooling from trees.

It's also ONLY valid at that location (obviously), hence is somewhat like an average.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@NdabaningiMoyo @DM_1986_ No, the use of the argument from authority is a (poor) reflection on you, not the authority itself.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@AllAboutCyc1ing I didn't mention anything about the thermometer I used.

We can all make assumptions. For example, I can make a bunch of assumptions from the fact that you're a cyclist. Not good ones, but assumptions nonetheless.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@TheBossnME Well, thank you. It's actually the first decent reply I've had that wasn't just fallacies and insults.

Hats off to you.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@TakeThatClouds Actual temperatures from my nearest station.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@NdabaningiMoyo @DM_1986_ No-one has said they know better, except you - who only has the argument from authority fallacy to back them up.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@GBRChris_A Indeed, a simple and silly maths error definitely negates the entire post. I hope you never make a mistake or you'll be wrong about everything else too.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@NdabaningiMoyo You seem to care to be honest. 😂

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@NdabaningiMoyo That there's a two-to-three degree difference between my readings and those reported by the met office and that we should burn a lot more oil as a result.

Does that answer your question?

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@NdabaningiMoyo I didn't make any claims at all. 😂

I literally just posted my readings compared to theirs. I might have been criticising the smart thermometer manufacturer for all you know.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

Apparently, only the met office's thermometers work.

No other thermometers, Swiss-made or not, are within three degrees of accuracy. Just blindly accept the "national meteorological service" that forecasted temperatures of 39 degrees where I am.

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

Man with a thermometer proves national meteorological service wrong.

Thank God for these warriors of truth.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

It's not exactly peak Nostradamus but I called it.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

I can see the government pushing to have X banned in the UK in the near future. The EU will do the same.

The useful idiots will support it.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@sophon3body @9mmsmg No, it's saying that communism would impose the idea that the one on the left is more attractive.

Communism, like all left-wing ideology, is a fight against human nature.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@BenWoodside11 @sophon3body @9mmsmg The point is about communism as an ideology which forced people to conform to things they knew to be untrue.

[Curtis Mann @curtistmann]

@ConnerMekis @ThreeJacques You sound like a completely insane cartoon character.
