The 1930’s were the warmest decade in the US.
That obliterated the $29 billion/year global warming research scam, so the scientists who rely on that money simply altered the the data. They wrote a couple of papers explaining why they could do this, patted each other on the back (aka “peer-review”) and then implemented some software which corrupted the data in a way which doesn’t match their pal-reviewed documents. Good enough for government work.
Have you thought of extending this analysis to GCHN?
Yes. Do you know where to find their list of stations?
Isn’t it all on GHCN Daily?

The peer of a fraud is a fraud. We need critical scientific review.
“The peer of a fraud is a fraud.”
Great quote!
The peer review rot runs deep.
The medical community has the same problem:http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/03/27/open-access-journals.aspx Fake cancer study is accepted by 50% of the open access (publishing fee paid by grant or author) journals.
The bit about grant or author paid placement in “peer-reviewed” journals was illuminating. I am willing to speculate that is how you end-up with 97% of the climate frauds agreeing with the criminally incompetent climatologists.
Reblogged this on Quixotes Last Stand and commented:
When Mother Nature won’t cooperate with the AGW alarmists, then they have to resort to rewriting historical data.
If I fudged the data in my real world job I would be fired. In the academic world you get a raise.
The good news is that it is a one-shot deal. They can’t go back and revise it down even more, and they are running out of room to fudge up present land-based data any further, in view of the satellite data.
Don’t bet on that. They have done so more than once already.
Hansen’s graphs side by side
The ONLY think keeping the CAGW Climastrologists at least a little bit honest is Dr Spencer and Dr Christy’s control of the satellite data.
If they are replaced by CAGW Climastrologists the sky is the limit!
I disagree. The adjustments are increasing exponentially and there is no limit to how far they will attempt to push this fraud.
Steve they will push it until
1. We are all reduced to serfs under a world totalitarian government.
2. A mile high Ice Sheet is sitting on top of Chicago.
And I am not so sure #2 would stop them if #1 is not achieved.
