I’ve blogged numerous times about NOAA and NASA erasing the 1940’s warmth in Iceland.
Data.GISS: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis
The CIA knew about the 1930s-1940’s warmth in Iceland and subsequent cooling.
a number of climatologists are in agreement that the northern hemisphere, at least, is growing cooler.*
–Iceland, because of its location, is a good indicator of changes in the whole Northern Hemisphere. The weather records and evidence for Iceland indicate that the past 4 decades were the most abnormal period in the last 1000 years–much much warmer. (See Figure 4.)
–The arctic ice area has perceptibly increased
in the past few years.–The English growing season has been
shortened by a week or more since the 1940’s.
Iceland warmth in the 1940’s wrecked the global warming story, so climate fraudsters at NOAA and NASA simply erased it.
But the Iceland story is much worse than it seems. NOAA only has daily temperature data for Reykjavik going back to 1949.

In fact, NOAA has no daily temperature data for any Iceland station prior to 1944, and none from 1945, 1946, 1947 or 1948. So what is the basis for their data tampering? Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with science.
