Do you have something a bit more scientific than a jpeg from some hokey webpage?
Here is a detailed view of average temperature and thermometer numbers after 1950. Note how average temperature suddenly began to look like a hockey stick. How did they do this? Mainly by promoting thermometers from warm places and demoting those from cold places ( higher altitudes and remote rural places).
Assumes facts not in evidence. Even if we assume the unsourced graph is accurate, it does not show that anyone "promoted thermometers from warm places and demoted those from cold places".
Anthony Watts lost whatever credibility he had when he agreed to work with the Berkeley Earth Temperature Project on their methods and analyses, and stated "I'm prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong" yet when the results confirmed the scientific community's conclusions and negated his, he welched and went back on his word.And in the United States, Anthony Watts - in a volunteer survey of over 1000 of the 1221 instrument stations - had found 89% were poorly or very poorly sited, using NOAA’s own criteria. This resulted in a warm bias of over 1ºC. A warm contamination of up to 50% has been shown by no less than a dozen peer review papers including ironically one by Tom Karl (1988), director of NOAA’s NCDC and another by the CRU’s Phil Jones (2009). (Tom Karl and Phil Jones are at the centre of the Climategate scandal)
Further, NOAA reevaluated their surface stations, and in 2010 concluded that while there were minor issues with some stations, the net result was that they were producing cooler temps than actual.

Way to move the goal posts when he brought up inconvenient data.
Try and keep up. I directly addressed the data you cited. If all you can do in response is throw out silly accusations, that speaks for itself.
