Here is the beginning of John Hinderaker\’s blog, at powerlineblog.com, on the rewriting – yes, rewriting; that is neither a typo, a sarcasm or an exaggeration – of historic temperature data, to make Global Warming look more credible:
We have written a number of times about how government agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration here in the U.S., have systematically adjusted temperature history to make the past look colder. They apparently do this, usually surreptitiously and without explanation, in order to stoke global warming hysteria. See, for example, He Who Controls the Present Controls the Past and Inside the Global Warming Scandal.
Now Mike Brakey, an engineering physicist and heat transfer specialist, has caught NOAA revising historic temperature data for Maine-as always, to make the past look cooler and the present warmer by comparison
Mr. Hinderaker goes on to show the specific data, which I urge – even beg – you to use the link I\’ve provided and see for yourself.
I don\’t care how warm those newly invented data claim things are, this should send a chill up and down your spine.
Hinderaker ends by asking “Would someone please try to explain why this isn’t the biggest scandal in the history of science?”
I don\’t have an answer for him. Maybe you do – and, if so, I\’d love to see it.”
But keep those Global Warming grants coming, folks. Ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching.
