Christopher Booker Reports On US Data Tampering

When future generations try to understand how the world got carried away around the end of the 20th century by the panic over global warming, few things will amaze them more than the part played in stoking up the scare by the fiddling of official temperature data. There was already much evidence of this seven years ago, when I was writing my history of the scare, The Real Global Warming Disaster. But now another damning example has been uncovered by Steven Goddard’s US blog Real Science, showing how shamelessly manipulated has been one of the world’s most influential climate records, the graph of US surface temperature records published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been “adjusting” its record by replacing real temperatures with data “fabricated” by computer models. The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data. In several posts headed “Data tampering at USHCN/GISS”, Goddard compares the currently published temperature graphs with those based only on temperatures measured at the time. These show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record; whereas the latest graph, nearly half of it based on “fabricated” data, shows it to have been warming at a rate equivalent to more than 3 degrees centigrade per century.

  1. Right on Steve! Kuddos for the great work! 🙂
    You may not be fully appreciated far & wide at this point, but future generations will look back on you as a truth teller who stood strong in the face of liberal tyranny when it mattered.. They’ll call you a patriot & not just in ‘right wing’ circles…
    (Of course, by that time the left will have revised text book history to say it was conservatives pushing this monumental fraud… Seriously.. Just look at how they rewrote & reversed everything about the civil rights movement!) 😉
    This site is one of the best there is & demands at least one visit per day no matter what IMHO.

  2. Congrats Steve.

    Hopefully, this will be the start of getting more publicity.

    Congratulations, Steven, on finding the iceberg of government deception lurking beneath the tip that surfaced as Climategate emails in late Nov 2009

    CHAOS in late August 1945 and FEAR of nuclear annihilation initiated this united response of governments to “save the world” from the fate Aston had forecast on Dec 12, 1922.

    Here is a two page summary of the events in late August 1945 and the warning on December 12, 1922 that changed the course of world history:

    Now you’re going international. So what’s next Steve?
    A Penn and Teller special video ‘Debunking NOAA Magic’ of how to hide the temperature decline?

    • Anthony S says:

      Penn and Teller already did a video on global warming, and came to no conclusion.

      • tom0mason says:

        What I took from Penn and Teller’s global warming video was that there was not enough evidence to prove CAGW either way.
        My other point, somewhat tongue in cheek, was that as professional magicians Penn and Teller were aptly qualified to do a special video ‘Debunking NOAA Magic’ of how to hide the temperature decline. It would not require a scientist, or a great statistician, no just logic and a large degree of common sense.

    Steven,

    Great job and Booker is a fine and courageous soul for making your findings public. Something journalists are shamefully tardy at.

  6. ntesdorf says:

    Goo work, Steve, people are finally starting to take notice of your detective work. Future generations will be able to look back on your work as a turning point in the debate. I always look forward each day to checking new content on your site.

    Steve,

    The next time you are back in Colorado (greatest state in the union), I want to buy you a beer.

    Your efforts and unwavering dedication to truth make me feel like all hope is not lost … some days.

    Over 9,000 comments on Bookers article now, as a direct consequence of him (finally) name-checking Real Science. This has caused a firestorm.
    I hope you’re getting recognition Steve. Great work.

  10. And now ever so briefly, Sean Hannity mentioned this on his radio show (about 10 minutes after the 2nd hour) without naming Booker or anybody else, but he was clearly talking about Steve’s stuff.

    As a reminder, this 1998 CSPAN news report shows NASA belatedly releasing 1995 xenon isotope data from the Galileo probe of Jupiter that confirmed:

    1. A 1983 report in Meteoritics

    2. Two 1977 reports in Science & Nature

    3. A 1972 report in Nature

    The Sun:
    1. Made our elements
    2. Birthed the solar system
    3. Exploded as a supernova 5 Ga ago
    4. Sustained the origin and evolution of life after 3.5 Ga ago
    5. Still maintains contact with every atom, life and world in the solar system today
    ,

    In a volume of space greater than that of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 Earths.
