4. The official temps should be consistent.

Otherwise there's bad data informing climate science.

Report by location differently. But when you compare average temperatures over time and find extreme increases just in cities, that's not "climate change." That's microclimate change--important locally but not globally.

Locally (Houston) they give official temps at the large airport in a not too-built-up are N of Houston and local temps at the broadcast studio.
