In 1975, all climatologists understood that there was tremendous warming prior to 1940, and a large amount of cooling after 1940.

This pre-1940 warming and post-1940 cooling didn’t suit the political needs of NASA under Barack Obama, so they erased it. As you can see in the graph below, the actual data completely wrecked the story, so they wiped out most of the pre-1940 warming.
This destruction of the data did not happen by accident. Climategate E-mails show that scientists removed the 1940’s warmth on purpose.
