Your edits to global warming and related articles have been counterproductive and waste our contributors time. If you cannot contribute within our policies, including polices that articles are verifable, neutral, and cite reliable source (of which McKitrick and Michaels' self-published paper is not) then you will be blocked.

McKitrick and Michaels paper is appearing in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres. Several years ago they published another paper that reaches similar conclusions. De Laat et al have also published on this subject. The IPCC AR4 explicitly mentions these papers. It then says that this correlation is coincidental.

Is your complaint that I should have used an older reference?

This is a controversy that the IPCC thought important enough to mention BEFORE this latest (much more thorough) paper by McKitrick.

But the Wikipedia article states (with only an old reference to AR3) that UHI has no material effect on global temperatures. This is either POV or simply false. It must be corrected. PatronSaintOfEntropy (talk) 20:15, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Raul654 has very little knowledge regarding global warming and related research. Ignore him. Just don't get in a content dispute with him, or he really will ban you. ~ UBeR (talk) 22:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC) ~ UBeR (talk) 22:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Then he bans me. I intend to fully comply with all Wikipedia rules. If he bans me for correcting clearly wrong content, I will protest within the framework of the Wikipedia rules and see what happens.PatronSaintOfEntropy 22:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the on-topic contribution, it makes a nice change from the recent blather about London protests. Can you provide references?LeadSongDog come howl 13:56, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I think the linked Wikipedia page documents the sources for us. I think that users looking for the source of the World Bank data would be better off looking at the Wikipedia page that deals specifically with this information.PatronSaintOfEntropy (talk) 09:46, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
