That John Larkin doesn't understand science or statistics.

He seems to have a good grasp on the things he has been doing for some 
thirty years, but can't seem to assimilate any new data or even understand 
the nature of data in many cases.  He often acknowledges his lack of 
understanding of math which is what is required to properly analyze 
temperature trends.

Pretty funny that he picks a temperature graph for San Francisco which 
rather clearly shows the last 4 years to have the highest summer maximum and 
the highest winter minimum temperatures on the entire graph of almost 40 
years.  Normally the warming trend is so small it is hard to see amidst the 
annual fluctuations of 50 degrees.  But John was nice enough to pick one 
which was the extreme and rather clearly shows the warming trend as best 
such a graph can.
