After the announcement of hottest year ever, the reason given to ignore satellite temperatures was because “we don’t live in the troposphere.” Apparently we must be fish, because the land temperatures were not the hottest ever. And I am pretty sure that we do actually live in the troposphere.
Climate at a Glance: Time Series | National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)
But it is much worse than it seems. 58% of the land temperatures reported by NCDC for December were completely fake – as shown in the animation below which has ocean temperatures masked out.

The graph below shows the pixel counts of measured and published land temperatures. As you can see, the vast majority of fake pixels have positive anomalies. Their algorithms (which “work as designed”) skew fake data towards high temperatures..
The reported December land anomaly was 1.36C, but the average anomaly of the measured data showed only 0.71C. Mind boggling temperature fraud by NCDC.

There’s an old technique in Accounting called, “P. Lug”.
When you absolutely can not make the Drs equal the Crs and its a minimal amount without significance, just make an entry in the amount to Misc or +/- Cash on Hand:

Which 1981 to 2010 base period do the use for an “average” ?
If they continuously lower the past, are they not also continuously making the present relatively warmer then the ever changing base period?
I read on WUWT that had it not been for December 2014 temperatures then 2014 would not have been the warmest, tied for warmest, whatever warmest year, on record. And stated elsewhere that this makes the December 2014 temperatures highly suspect. Thanks for showing that my gut feeling was correct.
Wow.. our milder than usual December in South Australia and Western Australia were actually above normal. Who knew?
Outstanding post. Keep it up. Some people are taking notice the the “keepers” of the climate record are adjusting reality.
The “adjustments” are growing in magnitude to a degree that is beyond any possible rationale. Amazing MSM are blind to this.
It was run using the MSM as the propaganda arm so of course they were blind.
The MSM was bought and paid for by the J.P. Morgan interests in 1915 and has been ever since.
This is a fraud that produces nothing but poverty. It does not produce a single penny of wealth and instead acts as a short circuit across the advancement and wealth of an entire civilization.
The IPCC mandate states:
Humans were tried and found guilty BEFORE the IPCC ever looked at a single scientific fact. The IPCC mandate is not to figure out what factors effect the climate but to dig up the facts needed to hang the human race. The IPCC assumes the role of prosecution and the skeptics that of the defense but the judge (aka the media) refuses to allow the defense council into the court room.
In 2009 the UK Groiniad let the cat out of the bag:

What else would you expect from NASA that have to start supporting to move to a Climate treaty!!
We live in the troposphere, no question about it. We are dwellers in the troposphere. We literally breath the troposphere in to live. We’d die without it. Obvious facts but worth mentioning.
In fact measuring the temperature and other characteristics of the troposphere seems to be of top priority. CO2 concentration is the least important of these characteristics, and a rather mundane characteristic indeed.
“The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. The troposphere is bonded on the top by a layer of air called the tropopause, which separates the troposphere from the stratosphere, and on bottom by the surface of the Earth.”
“The troposphere is wider at the equator (10mi) than at the poles (5mi).
The troposphere contains 75 percent of atmosphere’s mass- on an average day the weight of the molecules in the air is14.7 lb..(sq. in.)- and most of the atmosphere’s water vapor. Water vapor concentration varies from trace amounts in Polar Regions to nearly 4 percent in the tropics. Most prevalent gases are nitrogen (78 percent) and oxygen (21 percent), with the remaining 1- percent consisting of argon, (.9 percent) and traces of hydrogen ozone ( a form of oxygen), and other constituents. Temperature and water vapor content in the troposphere decrease rapidly with altitude. Water vapor plays a major role in regulating air temperature because it absorbs solar energy and thermal radiation from the planet’s surface.
The troposphere contains 99% of the water vapor in the atmosphere. Water vapor concentrations vary with latitudinal position(north to south). They are greatest above the tropics, where they might be as high as 3% and decrease toward the polar regions.”
