Fact it, you got caught fudging the data. The data was a denier so it got adjusted. That's not science.
RealClimateScience? That conspiracy cult website? Really? Come on. At least _try_. We've had experts peddle fraud at us, so your amateur fraud attempts are insulting.
Your cult masters are right about one thing. Temperature adjustments to _land-only_ measurements do show more warming after corrections. Why?
<data:blog.pageTitle/>
1. Site location. Over time, stations have been been moved from warm urban locations to cooler locations outside the cities. Urbanization has driven things the opposite way of kook denier claims. Old stations ran hotter, and that needs to be corrected for.
2. Better station screens now. Old stations ran hotter, and that needs to be corrected for.
3. More irrigation now. Old non-irrigated areas were hotter, and that needs to be corrected for.
However, the opposite is true for the oceans. The adjustments cause much _less_ warming to show. And since there's a lot more ocean than land, when you combine them, the global data shows _less_ warming after the adjustments.
Scientists never show land-only temps. They always show combined land-ocean temps. So, according to your cult conspiracy yammering, the scientists have painstakingly adjusted the data to show ... less warming? Ruh-roh. Your conspiracy go boom, and someone would have to be completely retarded or pathologically dishonest to still cling to it.
The conspiracy website author you quoted lied in two ways.
He lied by pretending the changes to land data weren't done in good faith, and that they don't represent accurate science. He simply screamed fraud with no basis for doing so, which makes him a paranoid cult moron.
He also lied by pretending that scientists don't always use the combined land-ocean data which shows _less_ warming after adjustments. Interestingly, the only people who use the data they claim is fraudulent are ... deniers.
Not that you'll care about this science and truth stuff, Frank. You never have, and never will. You only care about being a loyal cult mouthpiece.
