Testing for bias in the climate record

Article Abstract:

The method climatologists use to calculate trends on monthly and annual time series do not introduce significant bias as has been suggested. Perihelion calender shifts were used to test for bias because they have no impact on annual mean temperature trends. Monthly differences were insignificant.
