This is a huge story. We are closing the noose on NASA climate fraud.
The Canberra Times has an article today attacking Senator Roberts over a letter he sent questioning the adjustments NASA (i.e. GHCN) has made in Iceland. Senator Roberts asked Gavin to explain his adjustments, and Gavin responded with an insult. Totally unacceptable behavior for a public servant.
The article quoted Truasti Jónsson saying the adjustments were all good.
In an email, Truasti Jonsoon, senior meteorologist with a specialty in historical climatology at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told Senator Roberts that the temperature “adjustments” are “quite sound”.
NASA chief slaps down climate sceptic senator Malcolm Roberts: ‘You hold a number of misconceptions’
Four years ago, Paul Homewood contacted the same Truasti Jónsson at the Icelandic Met Office about the adjustments GHCN was doing to the Icelandic temperature record, and got this response, saying that the Met Office rejected the adjustments some of which were grossly in error. (Also note that the author of the Canberra Times article spelled Jónsson’s name wrong.)

Subject: Re: monthly temperaturesHi Paul.
We have sent a questions to the GHCN database regarding this and they will look into the problem. Regarding your questions:a) Were the Iceland Met Office aware that these adjustments are being made?
No we were not aware of this.b) Has the Met Office been advised of the reasons for them?
No, but we are asking for the reasonsc) Does the Met Office accept that their own temperature data is in error, and that the corrections applied by GHCN are both valid and of the correct value? If so, why?
The GHCN “corrections” are grossly in error in the case of Reykjavik but not quite as bad for the other stations. But we will have a better look. We do not accept these “corrections”.d) Does the Met Office intend to modify their own temperature records in line with GHCN?
No.No changes have been made in the Stykkisholmur series since about 1970, the Reykjavík and Akureyri series that I sent you have been slightly adjusted for major relocations and changes in observing hours. Because of the observing hour changes, values that where published before 1924 in Reykjavík and before 1928 in Akureyri are not compatible with the later calculation practices. For other stations in Iceland values published before 1956 are incompatible with later values except at stations that observed 8 times per day (but the differences are usually small). The linked paper outlines these problems (in English):Climatological1960.pdf
The monthly publication Vedrattan 1924 to 1997 (in Icelandic) is available at:

In a 2015 article by Cristopher Booker at the UK Telegraph, Jónsson was amazed to see how GHCN had made the cold of the 1970’s disappear in Iceland.
Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded. This has surprised no one more than Traust Jonsson, who was long in charge of climate research for the Iceland met office (and with whom Homewood has been in touch). Jonsson was amazed to see how the new version completely “disappears” Iceland’s “sea ice years” around 1970, when a period of extreme cooling almost devastated his country’s economy.
The graph below shows how NASA altered the data at Reykjavik in 2014, as captured by Paul Homewood.
Trausti appears to have “changed his mind” about this, just like Chief Justice Roberts and Director Comey did.
The 1930’s-1940’s were very warm in that region, from Eastern Greenland to Norway. The glaciers of Eastern Greenland and Norway were melting very quickly and faced the possibility of catastrophic collapse. It was clearly much warmer in 1939 than it is now.
Frank Lansner also provided a more detailed reference of how Arctic data has been adjusted.
Every single one of the stations in the region has had the past cooled via “adjustments”. These adjustments are absurd, just like they were four years ago. Perhaps part of the adjustment at Vestmannaeyjar was justifiable, but taken as a whole the adjustments have no validity, just as Trausti said four years ago, before he changed his mind.
I wonder what sort of grant it took for him to see the adjustments as ‘necessary’?
More likely the wording in the IMF/World Bank loans that Iceland was force to take thanks to criminal Banksters that bankrupted the country.
This sort of thing happens WAY too often.
Money?
Bullying?
….or more insidious pressure on family or something like that.
With Soros.. I would suspect first the money.. and if didn’t work the last option.
An EVIL man, that is for sure.
“before he changed his mind.”
or before he had his mind changed for him !

What the **** is going on ??
3-4 days ago , Climate Reanalysis showed a very warm anomaly over the Arctic
Here is what it looks like now. !
Darn WRONG picture.. I thought I had clicked on anomalies.
Stupid computer .. user !!
I look at that pic this morning.. a rather embarrassing stuff-up !!
OOOPS !
Note.. Because I’m in Oz, I am 11 hours in advance of the post timestamp.
Its now 8:18am Tuesday here.
I am not sure what this blog is actually saying. To me it simply shows a comment from Jonsson 4 years ago at a time when he did not know the reasons for or was even was aware of change being made by another organisation (GHCN). ON face value he went away to investigate further and if this was a journey embarked on scientifically and rigorously, it is exactly the right step. After this he know comes down to the same conclusion as Schmidt.
Are you not simply supporting Schmidt’s view, unless of course there is a huge conspiracy that we have to believe on faith.
We aren’t surprised you don’t get it!!
Not sure why your not surprised you don’t even know me
Phillip, this is not data from a superconducting super-collider, these are simple temperature readings. Temperature data needs very little adjusting if any. Because the data has been adjusted well beyond the measurement error, it’s no longer valid. You simply can’t draw valid conclusions from it.
The adjustments are neither scientific nor rigorous. When accountants do this they go to jail for FRAUD!!
But it is not measurement error they are adjusting for , it is for a relocation of measurement sites and an inconsistency in the time periods throughout they day that they are trying to make comparable. Seems pretty valid to me.
He said “We do not accept these corrections” and he had no intention of implementing them. Gavin knows nothing about them and blamed them on NOAA.
And I do not accept your BS or your intentions in writing this FUD.
My apparent BS is simply questioning and enquiry. Not accepting a discussion point I guess closes the whole discussion off without me or anyone learning anymore.
So be it I guess
If you go back through the climatology literature, you will find that the curve for Reykjavik showing midcentury cooling is iconic. Also look at what Jonsson said about that period – Iceland’s economy was devastated by cold at that time – unlike the time just before.
The author could not get even the first name right, nor the patronyme, why should the statement itself be right? I love so much this “science” stuff where details can be off by the exponent and seven letters in a name are guadrianed.
I’m asking this for real. The world is so mad it could be the claimed mail doesn’t exist or wasn’t sent by Trausti Jónsson.
Mr Jónsson said also this: (pardon google translation)
“Gudmundur, this article is terrible confusion – best to leave comments on this alone.”

Tighten that noose.
Gavin has been Tweeting to Senator Roberts for the past few months, it is strange that he now claims he did’t know who the Senator was!!
ROTFLMAO…

Government is changing the climate with geoengineering. Spraying chemicals creating Chemtrails. I saw the planes yesterday around 10:00am. They filled the sky with that crap, heavy metals. It caused an overcast on a sunny day. I live in North East Alabama whete we’re currently suffering extreme drought. Every natural Storm front is dissipating right the Alabama state line. They have the chemicals and radio frequency generators going that’s causing this drought. Weather modification is killing the planet. This is global weather warfare. It needs to be stopped. I’m praying Trump scraps this devastating program before it destroys our planet. Obama is all wrapped up in this mess. Giving our hard earned tax money to the UN. Billions of dollars. ISIS is a real threat. Climate change is Fake. Soros pays Al Gore 10 million a year to keep this crap going to.
I hope AMERICA wakes UP and starts denouncing climate change!
Looks like Gavin Schmitt will be looking for a new job come January 21st, 2017!!
