NOAA cooled the years of Lewiston-Auburn Maine’s past by an accumulated 151°F! (55,188 heating degree day units). - See more at:

They assumed no one would archive temperature data. But I did. My research indicated they used the same algorithm across the United States at the same time. Fortunately I had archived their data from 2013 for Maine and recently compared it to their 2015 data (see above table).
As an engineering physicist and heat transfer specialist, I have worked with heating and cooling degree days for forty years. It is alarming when one discovers multi-million dollar websites have been corrupted with bogus data because the facts do not match up with agendas.
this brings up a point I have made numerous times over the last five years. when you do a research paper, do you have to make perfectly clear which years's version you are using? because the 'facts and figures' change over and over again.
Brakey Energy Mike Brakey
Mike Brakey is regarded as the foremost expert on Ohio’s energy environment and FirstEnergy-Ohio rates. He is a frequent speaker on energy issues and is often consulted by the media on Ohio energy topics.
Mike is an engineer who developed an expert-level understanding of Ohio’s energy rates and regulations as energy management director and facilities engineering director at Johnson Rubber, a large Ohio polymer manufacturer. In his 22 years at Johnson Rubber Company, Mike directed the development and implementation of manufacturing strategies that led to energy cost reductions in excess of $20 million.
Mike founded Brakey Energy in 1999. He holds 7 worldwide patents for the design of more efficient heat exchangers for marine applications. He also has developed proprietary rate analysis software for helping Brakey Energy clients evaluate and reduce their energy costs.
Mike holds a B.S. in engineering physics from the University of Maine and an E.M.B.A. from Baldwin-Wallace College (a private religious college). In 2013, the University of Maine’s prestigious Francis Crowe Society recognized Mike as a Distinguished Engineer.
In other words, he has only a B.S. level of college science education, and no education or experience in climatology, and works for a rubber manufacturer. Also, I checked with the Francis Crowe Society, and according to them, He was NOT given any sort of recognition in 2013 -
The University of Maine - UMaine News - Six to be Inducted into Francis Crowe Society
In the (2013) Distinguished Engineer category, inductees are:
Paul Durocher, class of 1982, Chemical and Biological Engineering
David Kinney, class of 1986, Civil and Environmental Engineering
William Pike, class of 1980, Engineering Physics
Scot MacDonald, class of 1990, School of Engineering Technology
Gee, Mike isn't listed. Imagine that.
About Pierre Gosselin
Pierre L. Gosselin received an Associate Degree in Civil Engineering at Vermont Technical College and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Now I live in Europe and help my wife, the owner, run a small business that provides communication services for business and industry who deliver cutting-edge products, technology and services to market and thus make our lives immensely better.
In other words, he is not a scientist either, and has no expertise in climate science nor an educational background in the climate science.
You people keep pulling these clowns out of your arses and expert us to not notice, and not to laugh in your faces about it. Guess what...?
