NASA says facts and scientific consensus show earth has warmed 1C since 1880. They show the year 1921 as 0.18C below “normal.”
“This research is broadly consistent with similar constructions prepared by the Climatic Research Unit and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration”
NASA shows the 1920s as one of the coldest decades, that earth cooled from 1881 to 1919 and that earth warmed about 0.4C from 1921 to 1979.

But in 1989, NOAA said the exact opposite.
“Analysis of warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more re-cent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. While global climate warmed overall since 1881, It actually cooled from 1921 to 1979, Karl said.”

This map from NOAA shows where they have daily temperature data from 1920. The vast majority is from the US, with some coverage in Europe, Canada and parts of Australia. Most of the world has little or no daily temperature coverage going back 100 years.

This makes the US temperature data very important. NOAA thermometer data shows 1921 tied with 2012 for the warmest average temperature on record, and that there has been no net warming over the past century.
But NOAA massively tampers with the data to cool the past and warm the present. All claimed US warming over the past century is due to data tampering.
The data tampering is done in a hickey stick which cools past temperatures by 1F and warms recent temperatures by more than 1F
The tampering is done to closely align with the increase in atmospheric CO2 – i.e. data is being altered to match the theory.
NASA and NOAA claim that 1921 was a very cold year, but it had the second highest average maximum temperature in the US.
The percent of days above 60F during 1921 was the highest on record in the US by a wide margin.
The percent of days above 70F was second highest on record.
The New York Times reported that the heat of 1921 was global.
“a world-wide heat wave of unusual length and intensity”
“whether the worldwide heat wave is clue to some terrible paroxysm of nature, such as volcanic action In some remote region of the earth or seismic: upheaval in the depths of some unknown sea, or whether It is due to sun-spots or some other cause, is entirely problematical.”

1927 brought the worst floods in US history. The Mississippi River was flooded for more than six months, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to abandon their homes permanently. Vermont’s worst flood on record occurred in November, 1927. The Red Cross described 1927 as the worst year in history, with 111 disasters – including 29 tornadoes, 24 floods, 9 hurricanes and 23 fires.

NASA wants people to believe that the 1920s were cold and that the climate was stable and pleasant – but the historical record shows that their claims are not true. They also want people to believe that independent studies from NOAA and CRU back their work up. But when Senator Malcolm Roberts queried NASA about obviously fraudulent temperature adjustments in the Arctic, NASA’s Gavin Schmidt pointed the finger at NOAA and said he gets his data from them.
NASA chief slaps down climate sceptic senator Malcolm Roberts: ‘You hold a number of misconceptions’
NASA is constantly altering temperature data. This is the raw temperature data from Reykjavik, Iceland.
And this is how NASA altered the data in 2018. They have since changed this graph again. Peter Hannam called what NASA was doing in plain site “conspiracy theory.”
There is nothing independent about the data sets. This climategate email shows that different government agencies openly colluded to tamper with the temperature record and remove the warmth in the first half of the century.
And they also fabricate data.

In the November, 1976 issue of National Geographic they showed that Earth was very warm from 1920 until the early 1960s.

In 1979, climatologists described the warm period from 1910-1960 as the “tropical age” – and said the extreme weather of the previous two decades was caused by global cooling.
“Drought, floods, the failure of monsoons and the run of hard winters are all evidence. they say, that the world has come to the end of a spell of even-tempered weather which began in about 1910 and lasted until about 1960. This period has even been called “a little tropical age” by one of the more quotable of climatologists. Professor Reid Bryson. What follows the tropics could be harder to live with — weather more typical of the 19th century or even of the “little Ice Age “which lasted between 1430 and 1850”

The warm period from 1910 to 1960 can be seen very clearly in this graph. During that time, about half of the US would reach 100F (38C) sometime during the year. But over the past 60 years that number has been closer to 40 percent – with the last decade being close to a record low.
The bottom line is that NASA and NOAA temperature graphs are not even remotely credible and they are colluding to alter the data. Their propaganda has been effective, driving world leaders to complete madness.
The historical record affirms we are presently in a climate optimum. Amazingly effective marketing, spin, and propaganda in use by the alarmists to portray nice weather with the end of times. Study some history starting in about 1930 and it’s clear we live in good comparatively good times.
The left thrives on crises as their existential life’s blood. And if there isn’t one, they will create one. And if they can’t create one, they will lie. All their power comes from inspiring fear and hate, so they can step in to save the day.
It’s so warm, Boulder will set low temperature records in the next few days with snow expected Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Please keep posting this.
Here in Australia there continues to be complete delusion on “climate change” from so many.
I would cynically note that going into this past summer we had the usual idiots warning of bad bushfires and extreme heat. But fires that occurred were minor and it was a cool summer – but complete silence from the warmists. Other than to worthlessly claim that the La Nina event is responsible for the cooling we are seeing, so it does not count (but the heating from El Nino events is quite ok to include) we have silence from the talking heads over the cold start to the year.
One day they will wake up that the batteries necessary to power the Net Zero delusion will cost 10 times our current national debt and wonder how idiotic it all became.
If there were a criminal or civil trial for fraud against these institutional liars, your presentation would constitute a “preponderance of the evidence” to convict or find for the plaintiff…
Actually not only could you demonstrate fraud, but you could also demonstrate “intent” to commit fraud with the graph of “adjustments” against CO2 concentration. It cannot be an accident that the adjustments to actual data records forms a straight line against CO2 concentration.
Slam dunk, and if we started prosecuting these criminals – and obtaining verdicts to convict – you could rapidly stop the fraud – threat of loosing livelihoods would straighten out all the malfeasance in short order. (criminal convictions like this would mean research associates or so called scientists would only be able to get jobs as waiters or like) (it could also shut down all the “fact check” misanthropes too – if they too had some convictions against them for fraud)
I know, some of you may say this is the same tactic they want to use against our side – using legal means to shut down climate realists. However I’d welcome that – if the court could be deemed fair and committed to facts and reason – as the actual “evidence” is on our side as Tony so assiduously points out. (but sadly even courts and jurists have been corrupted by the dictates of the “ministry of Truth” partly lines, so mine is just wishful thinking….)
My notion that the Earth is flat is backed up by many, many people around the globe

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your great work. Not just talking but backing it all up with real world observations. What a world we would live in if everyone did that.
In this video the most striking graphs to me were the ones describing observed average temperatures in the US (I agree that this should be our focus, since most long term observations are located there.
However, I am having a hard time working with the data you can download from NOAA.
Also since the NOAA data gets revised, isn’t this already the altered data Im downloading?
Would it be possible for you to share the datasets you used to compile the graphs?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian
Tony, I have been following your YouTube channel for a long time. In my view this piece (and the video of the same title) is the most potent and effective debunking of the mainstream climate theory that I have seen. I am a court lawyer, and to me this exposes the fraud of the responsible government agencies in the way of a highly competent cross-examiner in court.
My one question is this: I assume that the raw data that you draw from the NOAA Climatology Network is in fact that: actual readings of 1200+ weather stations. Because it seems to me whoever wants to refute what you say, will have to attack that. If the raw data stands, then the rest of the argument is almost irrefutable, and it shoots a massive hole in the side of the entire alarmist ship. How do they discredit the historical newspaper reports? And how do they discredit the crown jewel in my book, which is the 1989 statement by the head if the government agency itself that the earth heated up before 1919, and cooled from then?
If you think you have anything better than this piece/video, please point me to it.
I remain bemused by how they keep on getting away with it.
I hate conspiracy theories. But I’m really worried about the way that the West seems to be committing slow-motion suicide.
My impression is that rational argument doesn’t cut it.
Even so, I think this message should be distributed as widely as possible.
Kind regards
Frans Rautenbach
