When it rains, it pours. Besides the two examples from Down Under, we now have several examples from California of what appear to be blatant manipulation of temperature data to hide a decline. In both cases the older record was truncated since it showed warmer temperatures back in the 1880s. This chart is from Orland, CA, a rural site which has happily stayed in one place for 100 years. The motion GIF should show the deception (click on it if it doesn't animate). A second example in the link above comes from Fairmont , CA, another happy, stable rural site.
Yikes, as they say in Oz. When these guys adjust, they don't mess around. So how can they trumpet the current year as one of the hottest ever when we have had record cold since October, certainly in the US?
In both cases NOAA like CRU before it are now claiming the raw data no longer exists. I guess they learned - Nixon should have burned the tapes!
There may be a prosaic explanation, but instead all we get from the Climate Cabal are attempts to minimize the damage and pretend nothing happened. Worse, we hear Al Gore continue to repeat the falsities as alarmist fact. The cover-up and obfuscation simply compounds the mistake. This is the worst scandal in science in 500 years, and it is getting smellier as more revelations come to light.
Global warming is as naurtal as the rising sun. Science is confident that the earth has warmed and cooled many times throughout it's long history. Science does not understand why it keeps happening until now. Wait a minute. Isn't it convenient that they've reached an understanding now that so many socialists recognize a need for us all to come together. We need a crisis to put us all on the same page. We'll have to work together to solve a problem that's been plagueing the earth long before a human brain could ever consider it. OH yes I know, we are causing the earth to warm. Warming is bad, despite the historical evidence that shows it can be good, very good for life. How is it people can not see through this facade. I've lost faith in humanity.
