Yes you can know the temperature of Denver.

But then you are hell bent on making this forum useless with quite a lot accomplished in that regard.

No, you can't. Not enough thermometers and the area of Denver remains undefined.

If you were to average those temperatures it's about 35.7° F. or about 2° C. That would allow for variance caused by big buildings, terrain and air circulation. See? There is a simple answer

Not good enough. These thermometers are not equally spaced. There are many other points in Denver that are unknown (no thermometers at all). An average by itself is meaningless. The margin of error MUST accompany any average to give it any kind of meaning. That number is a required calculation in statistical math. This is not instrument tolerance I am talking about here. It is the way you include all those unknown points in the result.

Temperature can and does vary as much as 20 deg F per mile.

Ah but you have nailed it GG! Now it's not my argument, it's reality, ALL THINGS WITH A TEMPERATURE HAVE A RANGE! All things (you too). We CAN KNOW the temperature of something which means knowing it's range.

To answer your question: With that data we can confidently state that the temperature of Denver ranges from 34-39F at ground level.

We can also confidently conclude that Venus is hotter than Denver.

Here's my question for you GG. Do you believe the temperature of ANYTHING AT ALL can be known? If so how may zeros do you put in your answer?

let's take a block of steel on a hot plate in the lab with a temperature reading of 80C. Is it:
80 C
80.0 C
80.0000000000000 C
?
Isn't inevitable in a situation like this that one molecule of the steel block would be at 80.001 C and another molecule at 80.002 C at the same moment? Not an error of the thermometer but actually having differing thermal energies? No?
How about 80.0000000000000000001 C and 80.00000000000000000000002 C ?

Seriously, tell me what you think.

I think you are still trying to redefine:

global warming
margin of error

by ignoring:
1st law of thermodynamics (you can't create energy out of nothing)
2nd law of thermodynamics (heat does not flow from cold to hot)
statistical mathematics

so that you can continue to preach your religion.

You continually repeat asking questions that have already been answered.
You continually distort and take things out of context.
You continually point to references where you have done so and call your distorted version the reference.
You continually attempt extreme arguments of no consequence.
You continually make up numbers and treat them as 'data'.
You continually shift context.
You continually create models, based on random numbers, assuming them to be 'data', and shift the context in those models, and call that a 'proof'.
You continually lie about what people have said to you.

You're a liar, dude. Your own religion has brought you to this. You even lie to yourself.

Challenge to ITN/IBD: Identify the temperature of anything you like. Be sure to determine how many decimal places you'll go to, and explain why every molecule of the object you've selected has exactly the same thermal energy all of the time if that's what you believe.

Tempereture is ALWAYS a range.

IBdaMann wrote:...things that don't have a single temperature?

Do you mean you belive there are objects with a temperature that doesn't fluctuate over time or from molecule to molecule at all? Every object has multiple temperature over both time and location.

The issue might actually be Does the National Weather Service use its Boulder-Denver temperature reading at Buckley Airforce base? If so, what's being discussed? A TV station might take it in town where the heat island effect increases the temperature?

The question of if it's a waste of time to debate trolls is of course one we have to ask as well. I view ITN/IBD as a pretty good representation of a core group of insincere deniers out there and using them to learn to dismantle the arguments is useful.

Exactly! Good example. GG nailed it. Denver has multiple temperatures from one point in space to another and from one moment to the next. Just like everything in the known universe.

As usual you offer no answer yourself.

The answer to the question of "What is the temperature of ____________?" is a range of temperatures where a mean temperature within a margin of error as well as the high and low temperature can be determined.

So a block of steel sitting on a hot plate in the lab: I would get it wrong if I measured the top of the steel block and concluded that was the temperature for the whole block. The top surface is radiating into the room, conducting with the air of the room, and will be slightly cooler than the bottom of the block that is in contact with the hot plate. I would have to calculate the likely distribution of thermal energy through the block. Having a good measurement of the bottom and top surface it would likely be sufficient to average the two.

A doctor will measure your body temperature (which can also be "Known") by putting a thermometer under your tongue. This is because a doctor is not interested in the temperature of you extremities but of your internal organs and the tongue is "pretty close", it's "good enough" for the purpose.

But "Sufficient" is the key word. How precisely do you need to calculate the temperature? This will depend on why you want to know. For the temperature of Denver: Are you planning a picnic or trying to claim there is an 0.25 degree Celsius increase in mean temperature over the last 50 years?

Bottom line is to claim that something cannot be known because it can not be precisely known is a false argument. Because the universe refuses to cooperate in providing a precise anything. There is no "Even Steven Law" or anything in the world around us willing to satisfy our rational desire for purity.

Notice that you have never offered as a temperature for anything larger than a room any sort of range of temperatures with any margin of error. Instead, you have only declared temperatures to be zero-dimentional constants with no margin of error. Ar you now admitting that you have been lying all this time or are you just lying now?

No doubt, for me too. I think there are two areas here:
1- Understanding Climate Change and the science behind it
2- Clarifying the science for the public

I think both are worthwhile.

When we talk about temperature we talk about the mean temp most of the time. I fully admit I accept the measurements taken by others and do not take my own directly. But your claim is false. Just up on the page, using the data supplied by GG, I stated:
tmiddles wrote:...the temperature of Denver ranges from 34-39F at ground level.
I also identified the hottest and coldest temps on Earth as a range in another topic. I've been making the point that temperature, the unregulated movement of molecules, has to have a variance from molecule to molecule and moment to moment.

As opposed to your point which is..... Well nothing. You have made no point.

Since you live in Denver, what relationship between air pressure, CO2 levels and temperature has changed? I live in central Kentucky and anyone who watches the weather on TV will know that the local temperature will vary.
I mean if there's cloud cover, warmer in the winter or at night but cooler in the summer. I hope GG is learning something.
It rains more in Seattle than in Spokane just as it snows more west of the Rockies than in Denver. Mountains increase resistance to clouds moving over them. This causes compression. As a result clouds shed mass so they can rise/be pushed over terrain that rises sharply in elevation. In cities, skyscrapers like Denver has can increase the temperature because of light reflecting off of skyscrapers. Wind velocities can increase because of the venturi effect that tall buildings can create.
Those 2 effects caused by skyscrapers along with black body radiation being emitted by the pavement can create a thermal lift. This can also change local air patterns as cooler air masses can split into 2 weather patterns, and once past a city can merge again. Saw that when living outside of Atlanta, GA. They needed rain but the city of Atlanta split a storm into a 2 storm cells that merged east of Atlanta.
But to understand basic climate change, the relationship between air pressure, temperature and humidity is what would show it. That's if the composition of the atmosphere is influencing it. If not, then if the climate change is natural, those 3 values should maintain a relationship based on the heat in the atmosphere.
On the west coast and across the US, El Ninos and LA Nina's, need to be known because they influence the jet stream.

The link is to a quick sketch I made. It shows the basic air flow through and around a large city.
As a weather system moves towards a city, it will have 2 slower moving currents that tend to go around the city. At the same time wind speed through the city can increase.
When there is slower moving air turning away from the main flow into the city it will increase wind velocities further from downtown. These changes in air pressure and wind velocity can cause variations in snowfall and temperature around a city like Denver. Around Ames, Iowa? Might not be noticeable.
Depending on the reflectivity of the surface of skyscrapers, the amount of light that is refracted/back scattered can be significant.
Maybe tmiddles can measure the snowfall around Denver the next time a system moves through? Then we could see if there is a pattern around downtown Denver. Weather maps for air pressure, wind velocity, etc. can be looked at as well. Then everyone should be on the same page about some things that influences everyday weather.

tmiddles, not sure if you'd want to put up signs around Denver asking people if they could but a combined barometric pressure thermometer to take measurements in the morning and evening as well as snowfall. Denver is a large city and for something like that, it might take about 20 locations in and around Denver to have a good idea how a weather system moves through and around Denver.
Something like that would actually be highly educational for this forum. And some people around Denver might find such a project interesting.
