“He who controls the past, controls the future; and he who controls the present, controls the past.”
– George Orwell “1984”
In 1998, NASA showed 1934 as the hottest year on record in the US, and declining temperatures for the rest of the century. They have since rewritten the data to eliminate the post 1930s cooling. 1998 used to be one degree Fahrenheit cooler than 1934, and now it is warmer. Note that 1998 version is in Fahrenheit and the 2019 version is in Celsius, thus the different numbers along the Y-Axis.
Why did they do this? The National Climate Assessment shows that the US used to be much hotter – in defiance of greenhouse gas theory and the political needs of climate alarmists.

In 1998, NASA was worried that people hadn’t yet accepted their scam, so they altered the data. They said it was a “sociological matter.”
On this date in 1936, the vast majority of the US was over 90 degrees, a large section was over 100 degrees, and it was over 110 degrees in Nebraska and Kansas. Franklin, Nebraska was 114 degrees, and Hays, Kansas was 113 degrees. Nearly 20 degrees warmer than today’s hot weather.
On this date in 1952, most of the eastern half of the US was over 100 degrees.
This date in 1887 was the hottest day on record in Ireland.

But propagandists have no need for actual data. Never mind that National Climate Assessment says summers are getting cooler – the New York Times says it is just your imagination.

In the 1930s we had an actual climate crisis. That needed to be erased.
Exactly, and your bringing it out is vitally important. Thanks!
Minnesota was certainly much hotter in June in the 1930’s
~~ Record High Temperatures for these dates ~~
June 25 = 98/1934
June 26 = 99/1931
June 27 = 104/1934
June 28 = 102/1931
June 29 = 102/1931
June 30 = 100/1931
Warmest Average Temp for the month of June = 81.4/1936
… Period of Record: 1871-Present

“this degree of loading of the dice” Hansen et al 1998.
They admit it’s a scam to trick us.
This lot would end up with a bullet in the back of the neck if Stalin were running the show.
“Sociological matter” what a joke, just consider how much better off society would be if the trillions of ($) wasted on AGW were spent on social infrastructure.
They must all be crazy, all the book learning has submerged them into the matrix, reality has vaporised. Yep mad scientists the lot of them, there’s need of a purge.
Stalin? Look up Lysenko. Communists/socialists are not about honesty. Ever.
Some of you might be interested in this. Take a look at Tony’s graphs and split them down the middle at 1950 and compare the SLOPES. In 1950 carbon dioxide was blamed for increasing temperatures, but the SLOPES / RATES of the warming are still the same between the two eras. (Strange) So even if you uniformly “cool the past” by lowering large swaths of the temperature record, which they are doing, they didn’t take into account the SLOPES/ RATES/TRENDS. Steve Koonin calls them out on this here (from a talk he gave last month):

Yes, they cooled the past, but that had no effect on the “trends”. (lol) One thing just dominoes into the next when you begin “adjusting” your data.
