Doctored Data, Not U.S. Temperatures, Set a Record This Year - Forbes

“Americans just lived through the hottest 12 months ever recorded, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported Tuesday,” according to the May 15 Los Angeles Times.

Which begs the question, what does “recorded” mean?

To most people, the hottest temperatures ever “recorded” would imply that quality controlled thermometers registered higher readings during the past year than had ever occurred before. If you believe that this is what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) means by hottest temperatures ever “recorded,” then you are wrong.

Raw temperature data show that U.S. temperatures were significantly warmer during the 1930s than they are today. In fact, raw temperature data show an 80-year cooling trend. NOAA is only able to claim that we are experiencing the hottest temperatures on record by doctoring the raw temperature data.

Doctoring real-world temperature data is as much a part of the alarmist playbook as is calling skeptical scientists at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, MIT, NASA, NOAA, etc., “anti-science.” Faced with the embarrassing fact that real-world temperature readings don’t show any U.S. warming during the past 80 years, the alarmists who oversee the collection and reporting of the data simply erase the actual readings and substitute their own desired readings in their place. If this shocks you, you are not alone.

Interesting piece, thanks. Unfortunately I'm already too jaded by the complete dishonesty in the climate "debate" to be shocked at this.

Who gives a fuck? The fact is the data in all the major climate data bases is doctored. It's "homogenized." The fact has been demonstrated over and over again.

what part of the article do you warmists disagree with? you always just besmirch the character of the author of something that you dont like, rather than rebut the ideas. do you disagree that the past has been cooled and the recent readings have been warmed? repeatedly?

OR you just pop in a century worth of warming in a 2 year period. Like in my favorite stinky example of bad data doctoring..

That is the difference between the OFFICIAL US Surface Temp record and the simpler prep done at UAH using population density adjustment on the raw data.

Thermometers are NOT that complicated --even when they're installed in a weather station. HERE --- SOMEONE has added nearly an entire CENTURY of warming between 1996 - 1998.

You believe the OFFICIALLY MANGLED version -- or the well - behaved version?

Oh my. NASA, ESA, and all the rest are in on this nefarious plot to doctor the data. As well as all the Scientific Societies, all the National Academies of Science, and all the major Universities of the world.

We have only you little tinfoil hat wearers to protect from the filthy plots of these pinko commie fascist liars. Get out your Bible, silver cross, and wooden stake. Something must be done to keep reality from entering the minds of the masses.

Yeah! I wonder why Heartland isn't in charge of the NOAA and the AGU and NASA and you and me! Could it be, wingpunks are anti-science assholes, who need to be rooted out, of society's fabric?

Nucor CEO: Funding Of Heartland Institute's Climate Denial 'Is Entirely Appropriate' | ThinkProgress

Of course, the entire purpose of the Heartland Institute is to prevent people from finding solutions to climate change.

---------------------

Heartland Institute - SourceWatch

A July 2011 Nature editorial points out the group's lack of credibility:
"Despite criticizing climate scientists for being overconfident about their data, models and theories, the Heartland Institute proclaims a conspicuous confidence in single studies and grand interpretations....makes many bold assertions that are often questionable or misleading.... Many climate sceptics seem to review scientific data and studies not as scientists but as attorneys, magnifying doubts and treating incomplete explanations as falsehoods rather than signs of progress towards the truth. ... The Heartland Institute and its ilk are not trying to build a theory of anything. They have set the bar much lower, and are happy muddying the waters."[1]

Yep it's "a nefarious plot".. Quit Bitching and explain the following "doctoring" of the US raw surface temps...

USHCN Surface Temperatures, 1973-2012: Dramatic Warming Adjustments, Noisy Trends « Roy Spencer, Ph. D.


The main conclusions are:

1) The linear warming trend during 1973-2012 is greatest in USHCN (+0.245 C/decade), followed by CRUTem3 (+0.198 C/decade), then my ISH population density adjusted temperatures (PDAT) as a distant third (+0.013 C/decade)

2) Virtually all of the USHCN warming since 1973 appears to be the result of adjustments NOAA has made to the data, mainly in the 1995-97 timeframe.

3) While there seems to be some residual Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in the U.S. Midwest, and even some spurious cooling with population density in the Southwest, for all of the 1,200 USHCN stations together there is little correlation between station temperature trends and population density.

4) Despite homogeneity adjustments in the USHCN record to increase agreement between neighboring stations, USHCN trends are actually noisier than what I get using 4x per day ISH temperatures and a simple UHI correction.

What's Dr Roy is referring to -- I already posted above. The DIFFERENCE between the official DOCTORED version and a population density adjusted method.

Or the doctoring of other various "official" versions of the USHCN temp data..

THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE ---

I asked you believers before --- How do you explain the 0.4CdegC JUMP in the US surface data for 1996 to 1998.. Nothing else like that in ANY raw temp record on earth.
You explain THAT ROXY (or your sock) and I'll consider converting to the Church..

Yappaty yap yap. Why don't you people just tell all those in the mountain west, midwest, and East Coast that what they are experiancing is doctored data. Now they were saying the same shit last year at this time. And now this year, last years records are being broken. And it is a ENSO neutral summer.

Record heat continues through weekend - News from USA TODAY

Source: USA TODAY

A record heat wave will continue to roast much of the USA through the weekend, fanning wildfires in the Colorado Rockies, threatening outdoor workers and causing some municipalities to cancel fireworks in time for July Fourth.

The heat has broken all-time records from the northern Great Plains to the Southeast already this week. The rest of the month will bring even more scorching heat from Boston to Atlanta, with temperatures reaching into the low 100s, said Meteorologist Michael Palmer of The Weather Channel.

“To get this kind of heat in late June is unusual and most likely historic for many areas,” Palmer said. Temperatures will gradually cool in the latter half of next week, but “It’ll be hot on July Fourth just about everywhere.”

This week’s temperatures broke records in some areas that date to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Benkelman, Neb., cooked at 114 degrees Wednesday, beating a previous June record of 111 set in 1936, according to the National Climatic Data Center.

The weather will continue to harry firefighters battling the Waldo Canyon wildfire that has destroyed hundreds of homes in Colorado Springs.

Yappaty yap yap. Why don't you people just tell all those in the mountain west, midwest, and East Coast that what they are experiancing is doctored data.

What they are experiencing is normal whether. However, they also have to listen to a lot of hysterical venting by a gang of AGW Chicken Littles.

Imagine: it's going to be hot on the 4th of July.

That never happened before!

Are you kidding us with this stuff?

I wish there was a proper accounting of the temperature data. for something so important (at least in the public's eye) there has been a whole lot of adjusting and very poor quality control.

here is graphic detail, yet again, on how malleable a temperature record can be-

which changed into-

and then another change-

and now this month's version-

the captions for the graphs were 'original', 'March', 'May' and 'June', in that order.



can you imagine the trust you would have in your stock broker if he kept trotting out new versions of the market every month?

oh, and dont forget to pay attention to the y axis for the temperature range. the graphs are formatted to fit so the numbers can change quite a bit.

and we are told they can gauge the global temp for the last hundred years down to a thousandth of a degree! hahahahaha

really?!? where do you get your information? newspapers, internet news gathering sites, google? or do you remain pure by only reading peer reviewed scientific papers? where do you find out about the papers?

do you have the same distain for Gavin Schmidt's Real Climate as you do for Steve McIntyre's Climate Audit? John Cook's Skeptical Science is just as blatantly biased as Steve Goddard's Real Science. if something is talked about on a science blog do that mean it no longer has any intrinsic worth?

 

[Old Rocks]

Where do I get my information? Many sources, here is one;

UAH Global Temperature Update for May 2012: +0.29°C « Roy Spencer, Ph. D.

NOAA, USGS, and Hadley are aso good sources.

Problem here is that some people will accept nonsense from invalid sources because it agrees with the world as they think it ought to be. Reality cares not one whit about your wishes.
