What is your overall decision about this article?

Are the selection criteria for the stations well explained? Or, if this project does not have to do with time series met. stations, are the premises of the project well thought out and explained? Is it a topic of special interest? (It doesn't have to be, but if it is, say so).
The selection of stations is not well explained, also the URL gives 40 stations, not 41.
Are the conclusions of the report quantitatively supported by the data?
The conclusions are only discussed qualitatively. Also the reported rise since 1984 is not observed in the data, nor can we check the statements about the effect of location based on the information given.
Are the data stations well quality-controlled?
The quality of the data is not discussed or controlled for. It is for example unclear whether all stations had a complete timeseries from 1850-2013
