Go to the station page on Berkeley Earth (link to data located at www.andrewdessler .com/data) and find a station near your hometown or city you live in today that covers a century or so (they’re normally in the bigger cities). How does the final time series (the “breakpoint adjusted” comparison) differ from the global average time series in Figure 2.2? Should it? The page also shows the adjustments to the raw data. Did the time series require a lot of adjustments?
