I keep repeating this but I don't think people get the implication. Muller of BEST admitted that 1/3 of long running stations had negative temperature trends in the unhomogenized data.
There are NO negative trends in the homogenized data. None, Nada, Zilch. Every place has been adjusted to match local expectations, which are adjusted to match regional expectations, which are adjusted to.....global expectations. The methodology forces the trend while keeping some of the shape of the variation. Rinse and repeat.
And the BEST data actually preserves MOST of Rome history. Pretty much just mucks with the last decade.
Any idea what those "breakpoint adjustments" are? Sounds to me like there's a breakpoint with reality adjustment right around 1998..
