The scandal of fiddled global warming data (US actually cooling since 1930s)

[green73]

When future generations try to understand how the world got carried away around the end of the 20th century by the panic over global warming, few things will amaze them more than the part played in stoking up the scare by the fiddling of official temperature data. There was already much evidence of this seven years ago, when I was writing my history of the scare, The Real Global Warming Disaster. But now another damning example has been uncovered by Steven Goddard’s US blog Real Science, showing how shamelessly manipulated has been one of the world’s most influential climate records, the graph of US surface temperature records published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been “adjusting” its record by replacing real temperatures with data “fabricated” by computer models. The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data. In several posts headed “Data tampering at USHCN/GISS”, Goddard compares the currently published temperature graphs with those based only on temperatures measured at the time. These show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record; whereas the latest graph, nearly half of it based on “fabricated” data, shows it to have been warming at a rate equivalent to more than 3 degrees centigrade per century.

When I first began examining the global-warming scare, I found nothing more puzzling than the way officially approved scientists kept on being shown to have finagled their data, as in that ludicrous “hockey stick” graph, pretending to prove that the world had suddenly become much hotter than at any time in 1,000 years. Any theory needing to rely so consistently on fudging the evidence, I concluded, must be looked on not as science at all, but as simply a rather alarming case study in the aberrations of group psychology.

But, but, don't you understand? A warming planet means soon summer will be winter.

But it's summer! Bizarre scenes as ICEBERGS are spotted still floating in Lake Superior in the middle of June

Professor's fellowship 'terminated' after WSJ OpEd declaring ‘the left wants to stop industrialization—even if the hypothesis of catastrophic, man-made global warming is false’
Climate Statistics Prof. Caleb Rossiter: 'If people ever say that fears of censorship for ‘climate change’ views are overblown, have them take a look at this. Just two days after I published a piece in the Wall Street Journal calling for Africa to be allowed the ‘all of the above’ energy strategy we have in the U.S., the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) terminated my 23-year relationship with them...because my analysis and theirs ‘diverge.’
IPS email of 'termination' to Rossiter: 'We would like to inform you that we are terminating your position as an Associate Fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies...Unfortunately, we now feel that your views on key issues, including climate science, climate justice, and many aspects of U.S. policy to Africa, diverge so significantly from ours'

And I used to swim in that shit,, before I knew any better.

I got spoiled swimming in warmer waters.

And yes,, That is a Foosball Table.

Movie idea- a conspiracy of 97% of the world's scientists is cooked up for thirty-plus years. Only a gallant alliance composed of oil executives and billionaires can stop their apocalyptic plot.

I swear I am going to tear my hair out if I see another ridiculous thread on here confusing global warming with surface temperatures rising everywhere equally on the planet. Use the term Climate Change or Oceanic Warming and we will all be better off. When you can find evidence of accelerated glacial melting being a hoax, get back to me,

Christopher John Penrice Booker (born 7 October 1937) is an English journalist and author. In 1961, he was one of the founders of the magazine Private Eye, and has contributed to it since then. He has been a columnist for The Sunday Telegraph since 1990.[1] He has taken a stance which runs counter to the scientific consensus on a number of issues, including global warming, the link between passive smoking and cancer,[2] and the dangers posed by asbestos.[3] In 2009, he published The Real Global Warming Disaster.

Thirty-plus years ago the Chicken Littles were blathering about global dimming. And sixty years ago the medical researchers were telling us how much longer we'd live if we ate lots and lots of fatty red meat, too.

According to the American Meterlogical Survey at that link, http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/BAMS-D-13-00091.1 five percent said "global warming isn't happening". Seven percent said they "Don't know if it is happening". That leaves a pretty significant percent saying they believe it is happening. The real dispute is how much impact humans have. Only one percent said "Yes, don't know cause".

Yea in the past I tried to cite him in some climate change arguments I was making to liberals and they discredited him pretty quickly based on some of this stuff. Knowing more about his past now I don't think I'd cite this guy again. I don't think he's a full blown crackpot or anything, but he's at least of questionable merit.

I note, again, that we global warming skeptics - deniers, if you prefer - have been consistently correct all along. And the more the charlatans' Hot Earth models fail, going back to 1922, the more their frauds are uncovered and exposed, the more frantically they insist that this time, the Earth really is doomed.

The thing is, one didn't, and doesn't, have to know a single thing about climate or historical temperatures to recognize that they were lying. Because liars a) observably behave in a manner inconsistent with what they claim to believe, and b) are reliably wrong. We have not forgotten that we were told entire nations would be wiped off the face of Earth by rising sea levels if the global-warming trend was not reversed by the year 2000.

What nation was that, Atlantis? Global warming is nothing more than a pseudoscience concocted to justify global government. Which means that it is only a matter of time before all the lies and the fictitious data used as its foundation are revealed to be fabricated and fraudulent.

Executives and billionaires, is it? And who do you think funds the vast majority of university research, particularly in the U.S. today? You really think 'our' executives and billionaires will save us from your executives and billionaires--you know, the ones who are trying to get richer at the expense of the poor with higher water rates and carbon taxes?

Curious why the chart in the blog link only looks at temperatures for three weeks out of the year- June 1st thorugh June 21st- and ignores what are typically the hottest months of the year.

"Percentage of US June Temperatures Above 100 Degrees Thourgh June 21st".

Not even the entire month of June at that. Very selective data. Probably because more data would have disproved the point they were trying to make.

This chart shows more info for the entire years instead of just three weeks:

Progs don't even know they're fascists! From the Fed, to taxes, fees, regs, and mandates, to the global warming-green energy scam, to Barry's Big Fascist Medical System, to TBTF everything, it's all right in front of their faces, but they can't see it. They still insist they're looking out for the little guy, when all they have done for the past 100 years is destroy jobs and opportunity and create more poor people through their fascist central planning. And then they further embarrass themselves by blaming the "free market," which we don't even have since they destroyed that long ago. Left is the only direction this country has ever moved. They already won and they don't even know it! That's how f'n dumb they are.

I want a divorce!
