You can’t make this stuff up. Not only are they massively cheating, but they are lying about their cheating.

Attention Climate Conspiracists: NOAA Adjustments Show Summer 2012 3rd Hottest on Record
Attention climate conspiracists (lookin’ at you, Tom Nelson-bot): The NOAA/National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) analysis for August 2012 is in, and it shows that Summer 2012 was tied for the 3rd hottest on record in the contiguous 48 states of the U.S. That’s right, analysis of the raw National Weather Service (NWS) data and even the preliminary August adjustments from NCDC showed the summer would be at least tied with 2011 for second place, but the final analysis posted today lowered the August average by 0.1° to a tie with 2006 for 3rd place.
USHCN adjusted data shows 4th warmest, so they actually pushed it up one more notch rather than lowering it. The USHCN raw monthly data showed that the summer was 16th hottest on record.

Even after almost two degrees of upwards adjustments relative to 1901, USHCN was only able to cheat 2012 up to the #4 3 spot.

Exaggeration from the historical climate network gets worse by the month. They learned nothing from the mistakes the Met of the UK made over the past four years.
The majority of people do not have an inkling of any of this. Then again a majority of that majority could care less.
What disturbs me the most is, the people who WANT their government to make up stories
Except for July, it was a fairly normal summer.
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
The top 3 hottest were at least 75 years ago. Not exactly catastrophic warming.
How many people have died because of the 3rd warmest summer ever?
Cut off base load electric power for A/C and you’ll find out.
Let’s see … a well intentioned government that kills people to save them. An unfortunate “reality” like eagles in a windmill, or something.
I was thinking of how many have they tried to scare to death with their ghost stories! 😆
I haven’t followed the Presidential campaign at all. Have their been campaign ads about how Romney “is going to kill you because he doesn’t care about CO2 in the air”?
😆
Wow, warmists have reached a new low. Now, instead of calling us deniers, they call us conspiracy theorists! How cute.
They only way that NASA GISS and NOAA NCDC can find a scary warming signal is by “adjusting” (i.e. manipulating) land-based temperature data. Both agencies have morphed from scientific bodies into citadels of political activism.
As a group of former NASA astronauts, scientists and engineers noted in a letter last year to the agency, there is no evidence of a CO2-induced global warming catastrophe in the making. Such fantasies are the product of junk science promulgated by political scientists posturing as real scientists. Many of them have fallen in love with their own theory.and will defend it until the end. Others are simply in it for the money, perks and publicity. There’s a treasure trove of research funding for the taking.
Any “climate change” pronouncements coming out of NASA and NOAA must be viewed with suspicion. Both agencies have lost much of their credibility in their zeal to push the now rapidly collapsing AGW scare story.
kirkmyers , thanks for being a voice for reasonable thought . This time of year I deal with many different people every day and am continually amazed by the lack of knowledge about the science and the lies of agw . Some people after being given a brief account will become thoughtfull and determine to check it out for themselves , others will wander on in oblivion .
This specialized network designed to eliminate bias found July 2012 to be 2.1 degreesF cooler than USHCN. It will be interesting to see how the unbiased network compares for the whole summer.

Some statistics…
The average summer mean temperature for 2000-12 was 73.42°F. The average summer mean temperature for 1930-39 was 73.24°.
The 2000-12 period has had 3 of the 5 warmest summers; the 1930s had 2. Adjusted to consider the larger number of years since 2000, each year during the 2000-12 period had a 15% higher probability of being represented than each year during the 1930-39 period.
The 2000-12 period has had 7 of the 10 warmest summers; the 1930s had 2. Adjusted to consider the larger number of years since 2000, each year during the 2000-12 period had a nearly 170% higher probability of being represented than each year during the 1930-39 period.
The 2000-12 period has had 9 of the 15 warmest summers; the 1930s had 4. Adjusted to consider the larger number of years since 2000, each year during the 2000-12 period had a 73% higher probability of being represented than each year during the 1930-39 period.
Each of the last 3 summers ranked among the 10 warmest summers (6th for 2010, 2nd for 2011, and 3rd for 2012). Summers 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, and 2012 ranked among the 20 warmest summers. Summer 2008 was the 29th warmest summer.
On the cool side, 2004 had the 16th coolest summer and 2009 had the 42nd coolest summer.
During the 1930s, 1931, 1933, 1934, 1936, and 1937 ranked among the 20 warmest. The coolest summer during the 1930s was 1935, which ranked 50th warmest.
Why are you wasting our time quoting adjusted numbers?
Because the statistics do not apply outside of everything below the Canadian border, north of the Mexican border, east of the Sierras, west of Cape Cod, which everyone knows, is the land mass comprising the globe
