We have argued this point repeatedly, with the alarmist side saying that everyone should just cede to the authority of the scientists making up the data tables.
Climategate showed that HADCRU vigorously adjusted the data and when they were asked to produce the raw data they said they had thrown it away.
The Y2K bug fiasco showed that NASA GISS continuously adjusts the data to the point that outside studies using the GISS data set have to define which date of data they used in order for the findings to make sense.
While many have called for an audit of temperature data, New Zealand actually forced their climate study organization to answer the tough questions about raw data and the adjustments made and the reasoning behind the adjustments. After a year of squirming and dodging questions the NIWA just gave up!

I wonder what will happen when people decide to find out what is going on with North American data?

Climate Science Coalition Vindicated | Scoop News“But we note that, after 12 months of futile attempts to persuade the public, misleading answers to questions in the Parliament from ACT and reluctant but gradual capitulation from NIWA, their relentless defence of the old temperature series has simply evaporated. They’ve finally given in, but without our efforts the faulty graph would still be there.”
Mr Treadgold described the replacement as a full exoneration of the criticism levelled at the Coalition by NIWA, saying: “All we ever asked for were the adjustments and the reasons for them. The discourteous reproaches and misleading academic references we received from them were surprising. For them finally to agree with us, throw away the series and recreate it is a complete vindication for us.”
