Blog Claim: "NOAA/NASA Dramatically Altered US Temperatures After The Year 2000"

"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."

"Right after the year 2000, NASA and NOAA dramatically altered US climate history, making the past much colder and the present much warmer. The animation below shows how NASA cooled 1934 and warmed 1998, to make 1998 the hottest year in US history instead of 1934. This alteration turned a long term cooling trend since 1930 into a warming trend."

Harvard v. MIT

Top MIT scientist: Newest UN climate report is ‘hilariously’ flawed


MIT has long been at odds with Harvard while the latter still furiously sounds alarms, as exemplified here.

I wonder if the faithful are waiting to proclaim "It Is Risen!"

"Fewer people than EVER believe the world is really warming up"

A report from the UK Energy Research Centre also shows the number of those who resolutely do not believe in climate change has more than quadrupled since 2005.

The Government funded report shows 19 per cent of people are climate change disbelievers - up from just four per cent in 2005 - while nine per cent did not know.

The report comes as climate change scientists working on a landmark UN report on climate change are struggling to explain why global warming appears to have slowed down in the past 15 years even though greenhouse gas emissions keep rising.

Dr. Roy Spencer, a former NASA scientist and author of Climate Confusion, argues in his influential blog the UN report shows scientists are being forced to "recognise reality".

A conversation with one of our European betters

A good part of my past week-from-hell was spent entertaining someone with whom I work, from Germany.  On Saturday, he came over and I grilled some steaks.

As I usually do, I not only fired up the grill, but also a fire pit a few feet away.  He asked about this, and I explained that I was doing all I could to forestall the coming ice age.  And at that point, I had to explain to him that I consider anthropogenic global warming to be nonsense.

Well, I didn't have to.  Some might consider mixing work and politics to be...unwise.  But after four margaritas* and a week of being with this delightful German fellow**, it just seemed the thing to do.

Asterisks and more after the jump.
