To those who have purchased a copy of my book Who Turned on the Heat?: Please check your email and spam filters for an email from DigitalDeliveryApp. It will contain a link to the FREE updated (v2) edition—with the four typos corrected. I’ve made no other changes.
The corrections included:
Page 27 of text, line 7: “eastward” was changed to “westward”.
Page 10 of text, last line: “could care less” was changed to “couldn’t care less”. (Most persons in the U.S. would not notice or be concerned about the difference, but I was reminded there is one.)
Page 86 of the text, first sentence of last paragraph: “during” was removed from the end and the sentence now reads:
Like the HADSST2 data, the ERSST.v3b sea surface temperature dataset only relies on measurements from ships and buoys.
And Page 365, Figure 5-43: the year 1912 in the red notation now correctly reads 1917.
Regards
Bob
Regarding:
“could care less” was changed to “couldn’t care less”.
When you have a few free minutes, here’s the explanation:

I was raised in western PA where there are many odd phrasings.
Page 10 of text, last line: “could care less” was changed to “couldn’t care less”. (Most persons in the U.S. would not notice or be concerned about the difference, but I was reminded there is one.)
That is a huge pet peeve for me !!
I have to explain to people when I correct them that if you “could care less”, that means you care some !!!
And I refuse to accept sloppy and ignorant people destroying the American/English language !
Whew!! Matthew W, I’m glad I corrected it.
“Whew!! Matthew W, I’m glad I corrected it.”
As soon as i posted that, I meant to say that it wasn’t directed at you !!
Matthew W, and I should have added a smiley emoticon!!!
