Yesterday I did a post showing how more than 40% of USHCN monthly temperature is fabricated from non-existent raw data, and the percentage is rising exponentially.
Taking this a step further, I analyzed the temperature trend since 1990 of only the fabricated data – and compared it to the measured raw data. The actual thermometer data shows no US warming since 1990, but USHCN’s fabricated data shows more than 1.5 degrees warming.
Just how bad is their cheating? They are tampering with the data at a rate of 7.6ºF per century. They have introduced a huge warming bias by introducing fake data which has no thermometer data to back it up.
*Mosher says this is all golden.
This could be even bigger than Climategate.
Need some help from more knowledgable commenters. When arguing on another site about the “no warming for 17 years” they invariably say “well that’s because you’re using RSS data, the only one out of four that show no warming-the other 3 do.” What would be the rebuttal? Thanks.
“Golden” as in it is the goose that lays the golden eggs of government funding …
“Golden”, as in showers.
Fabrication is all they have. Models have all failed. Every prediction of catastrophe failed.
What warming? Miniscule. Not happening at all for over 15 years while CO2 rises.
It is a real shame the bad name these charlatans are giving to science. And why oh why does MSM just play along?
“..why does MSM just play along?”
Because scary news sells: few are interested in reading about how normal everything is.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert in psychology. On a related note, it is interesting that a news source might report on something controversial and/or shocking, only to have it corrected later by other sources, or by themselves. Many people, instead of considering the possibility that the first report was perhaps a little too far fetched, and breathe a sigh of relief, postulate that there’s a “cover up”, and hang on to the premise for dear life.
Sometimes I think the MSM do it on purpose in order to ride the wave of attention.
The MSM does it because they are OWNED by the bankers and corporations who are making big $$$$ from the scam.
He who OWNS the press CONTROLS the news and the news we get is the propaganda they want us to here. It is not the truth and it is in the best interest of the corporations and banksters except for a bit from the “Controlled Opposition.”

Note that in all of this what is missing is the rights of the smallest group, the individual.
Grumble, John Dewey’s trashing of the education system strikes again.
Here ===> Hear
So there was no Long March by the Left through the institutions (in particular, the universities)? Or were they merely carrying out the will of the bankers? (If you think so, you don’t know much about the psychology of the Left.)
So Barry Rubin’s book, Silent Revolution is all wet? Not to mention David Horowitz’s books. Can’t wait to see your book that will set us all straight.
And what about the bankers that were being harassed by HUD officials in the 80’s? Was Roberta Achtenberg really working for the bankers she seemed to be harassing? Were her crazy left-wing antics just for show? Was she working for the bankers when earlier she tried to prevent gay bath-houses from being closed down? (This seems to have been her main achievement before she landed a job at HUD.)
Taking this a little further, was Lenin “OWNED by the bankers”? Is that what the Soviet Union was all about? I already knew that history is in many ways a hall of funhouse mirrors, but I didn’t realize how great the curvature actually was.
(I should add, for those who don’t know the story, that officials on the West Coast were trying to close down gay bathhouses to prevent the spread of AIDS. It seemed like a reasonable action to take, and then Roberta came along …)
rw ….Taking this a little further, was Lenin “OWNED by the bankers”?….
Lenin certainly traveled across Germany in a sealed train with $10 million in gold thanks to bankers like Max Warburg, the brother of Paul Warburg, who gave us the Federal Reserve act of 1913.
So the bankers in Europe and the USA certainly aided the Bolsheviks and without that aid the Soviet Union would not have existed.
Heck, Karl Marx was supported by Lion Philips (b. 1794 d. 1866) while he wrote his Manifesto. Phillips was active in the tobacco business and was a banker at Zaltbommel in the Netherlands. The Marx genealogy gets quite interesting with the Rothschilds mixed in for flavor. “Nanette, Marx’s grandmother, & Hannah Rothschild nee Cohen were first cousins.”
And Trotsky was sure Funded by the bankers TOO!
What the reasoning of the bankers was and how close the ties I haven’t the foggiest but the ties were certainly there.
Money follows power. It is very simple. There is no need for the myriad and boring web of conspiracies.
Obviously part of the ‘Hope’ you don’t notice that we ‘Change’ the temperature data making it ‘necessarily skyrocket’ thus keeping the $cam money rolling in.
Can we $cam you?
‘Forward!’
‘Yes we can!’
It’s a bit confusing exactly what your claim is. These are not just yearly late reporting, right? What exactly are they, I wonder? It’s not just some crazy hockey stick artifact I surmise but what is really going on? Do stations really get shut down but they are continuing them by infilling their values somehow? Are there really fewer stations in the raw data versus the final version, after the year is past and all stations have reported? Or do they never really report at all after being infilled due to delays? I guess you already clarified it:
“The graph below is generated by counting the number of reported monthly temperatures in the final and raw data sets. The have lost 30% of their station data since 1990, but still report adjusted temperatures for the missing data.”
Padding stations may allow them to use the exact same list to continue their averaging, but then where is the source of the upswing in such padding, if it’s not from the stations that really are reporting?!
Is a completely separate issue from any late reporting effects?
There are 1218 data files in the both the raw archive and final archive so there must be more recent zombie data in the adjusted files than in the raw files. What are the first few files with this problem? Sorry, no software on my end to parse this stuff but I’d like to see which stations are involved.
This is very strange indeed.
More than 40% of the USHCN V2.5 monthly data is now fabricated without the benefit of monthly raw data. I calculated the average of all of the fabricated data per year, and the average of all of the raw data per year.
Nik, perhaps it is part of the “dying of the thermometers”.
E. M. Smith’s AGW is a thermometer count artifact
Jo Nova: The Great Dying of Thermometers: ‘It’s obvious how well documented temperatures were (once) in US. The decay of system in last 20 years is stark’
The Great Dying of Thermometers It’s like watching the lights go out over the West. Sinan Unur has mapped the surface stations into a beautiful animation. His is 4 minutes long and spans from 1701-2010. I’ve taken some of his snapshots and strung them into a 10 second animation….
From Digging in the Clay:
Lots of people have done a “Dig Here” on the ‘Station drop out’ problem. That is just a smattering.
Climate Audit by Steve McIntyre has a listing on information about station data HERE. that maybe very useful to you Nik if you have not already seen it.
I agree this could be huge. But all the other scams are huge too and some of them aren’t well known beyond this blog.
The fewer country towns with temp records the more UHI will influence the averages.
Like Sydney- in 1872 the record June high was 74.7 F (22.3 C). When it was a big town with no concrete or blacktop.
Now, it gets to 22 and the weather bureau freaks out. It’s a meaningless record and useless data.
It also depends on what stations are dropped, since they use stations 500?Kilometers away to infill
For example take the state of North Carolina right now. Drop:
Asheville North Carolina ….77.9 °F
Cherokee, North Carolina ….80 °F
Boone, North Carolina …..68.6 °F
Newland, North Carolina . 63.2 °F
And instead use Wilkesboro, North Carolina @ 86.7 °F after all it is “only ” 32 miles between Boone and Wilkesboro and “only” 54 miles to Newland….
E.M. Smith caught them doing this type of “smearing” in South America.

That makes ZERO sense. Lenin and Trotsky and the rest were exiled riff-raff hiding from the czars agents. Their owly “power” was their ability to instigate chaos.
Please read your comment back to yourself. Have you ever heard of “investment bankers”?

I should come at that in a different way.
My question is WHY Communism? (And that is the hoped for end result of socialism.)
If you look at this article and read the quotes from ‘History of Plymouth Plantation,’ the governor of the colony, William Bradford, makes it clear they tried a form of communism and it failed miserably. That was in the 1620s almost four hundred years ago. It has been tried several other times and it always fails. So why with all the evidence stacked against this miserable idea are we saddle with having another international effort of shoving it down our throats once again?
Communism HAS TO convey something of value and it has to convey it to those of wealth and power or it would have been dead and buried 350 years ago. It doesn’t convey anything of use to the peons because those of wealth and power don’t care about us. SO why have the movers and shakers taken Communism (or at least socialism) to their collective bosom?
This 1911 cartoon from Communist Party member Robert Minor and run in the St. Louis- Dispatch makes it clear there was a connection between Wall Street and Marxism as do several of the articles I linked to above.
CAGW is just a minor battle in the war for control over every aspect of our lives. A war we are losing because the money and power WANTS Socialism/Communism. If they did not want it communism would be a minor foot note in some dusty history text.
Our greatest weapon is figuring out and exposing to the light of day WHO is behind the scene pulling the strings and why.
(And yes I know I get some of this stuff wrong. As I said before I hated history in school.)
Gail, why do so many wealthy people vote Democrat? It is a mental disorder. Period.
Some very wealthy bankers are insane. Period.
It ain’t rocket science, but then again, if you are a rocket scientist it could be.
Humans lack the ability to be perfected. We will always have wolves, and we should always have defenses. Blame the banks and you get nowhere, blame the government and you defend your progeny.
You are missing the point.
WHO is the Government?
People.
Where do they get the ideas they then make into law?
And THAT dear gator is the very very critical point.
WHERE do these ideas come from?
They do not arrive in a politician’s brain fully formed out of nowhere.
You guys want to know what happen to America? You want to know how our culture was destroyed?
Well Nicole Johnson, with five pages of supporting references for her document, shows how it was done.
Remember Lenin identified independent farmers as the linch-pin of individualism and capitalism.
“The Socialist Revolution in the US cannot take place because there are too many small independent farmers there. Those people are the stability factor. We here in Russia must hurry while our government is stupid enough to not encourage and support the independent farmership.’ ~ V. Lenin, the founder of the Russian revolution
Stalin took him at his word.
“The Collective Farm Policy was a terrible struggle, Ten million died. It was fearful. Four years it lasted. It was absolutely necessary.” ~ Joseph Stalin
And in the USA the MSM made sure farmers were laughed at and called hicks, rednecks and hayseeds.
I’m not missing any points Gail, I just don’t buy your silly overbuilt conspiracy theory. It’s called ‘human nature’.
I am at the Univ of Washington. I would like to replicate what you have done here. I’m suspicious since I know in the Pacific Northwest temperature has DECLINED since 1990. Here is the time series from Hanford in eastern Washington, perhaps the highest quality rural climate station in our region: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/marka/hanford.1945-2012.png
