Thermometers show the US cooling since about 1920, but NOAA massively cools the past to create the appearance of a warming trend.
These adjustments make a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering.
When plotted against atmospheric CO2, the correlation is almost perfect. NOAA is tampering with the data exactly to match their theory.
This is a huge story. We are closing the noose on NASA climate fraud.
The Canberra Times has an article today attacking Senator Roberts over a letter he sent questioning the adjustments NASA (i.e. GHCN) has made in Iceland. Senator Roberts asked Gavin to explain his adjustments, and Gavin responded with an insult. Totally unacceptable behavior for a public servant.
The article quoted Truasti Jónsson saying the adjustments were all good.
In an email, Truasti Jonsoon, senior meteorologist with a specialty in historical climatology at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told Senator Roberts that the temperature “adjustments” are “quite sound”.
NASA chief slaps down climate sceptic senator Malcolm Roberts: ‘You hold a number of misconceptions’
Four years ago, Paul Homewood contacted the same Truasti Jónsson at the Icelandic Met Office about the adjustments GHCN was doing to the Icelandic temperature record, and got this response, saying that the Met Office rejected the adjustments some of which were grossly in error. (Also note that the author of the Canberra Times article spelled Jónsson’s name wrong.)

Subject: Re: monthly temperaturesHi Paul.
We have sent a questions to the GHCN database regarding this and they will look into the problem. Regarding your questions:a) Were the Iceland Met Office aware that these adjustments are being made?
No we were not aware of this.b) Has the Met Office been advised of the reasons for them?
No, but we are asking for the reasonsc) Does the Met Office accept that their own temperature data is in error, and that the corrections applied by GHCN are both valid and of the correct value? If so, why?
The GHCN “corrections” are grossly in error in the case of Reykjavik but not quite as bad for the other stations. But we will have a better look. We do not accept these “corrections”.d) Does the Met Office intend to modify their own temperature records in line with GHCN?
No.No changes have been made in the Stykkisholmur series since about 1970, the Reykjavík and Akureyri series that I sent you have been slightly adjusted for major relocations and changes in observing hours. Because of the observing hour changes, values that where published before 1924 in Reykjavík and before 1928 in Akureyri are not compatible with the later calculation practices. For other stations in Iceland values published before 1956 are incompatible with later values except at stations that observed 8 times per day (but the differences are usually small). The linked paper outlines these problems (in English):Climatological1960.pdf

Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded. This has surprised no one more than Traust Jonsson, who was long in charge of climate research for the Iceland met office (and with whom Homewood has been in touch). Jonsson was amazed to see how the new version completely “disappears” Iceland’s “sea ice years” around 1970, when a period of extreme cooling almost devastated his country’s economy.
The graph below shows how NASA altered the data at Reykjavik in 2014, as captured by Paul Homewood.
Trausti appears to have “changed his mind” about this, just like Chief Justice Roberts and Director Comey did.
The 1930’s-1940’s were very warm in that region, from Eastern Greenland to Norway. The glaciers of Eastern Greenland and Norway were melting very quickly and faced the possibility of catastrophic collapse. It was clearly much warmer in 1939 than it is now.
Frank Lansner also provided a more detailed reference of how Arctic data has been adjusted.
Every single one of the stations in the region has had the past cooled via “adjustments”. These adjustments are absurd, just like they were four years ago. Perhaps part of the adjustment at Vestmannaeyjar was justifiable, but taken as a whole the adjustments have no validity, just as Trausti said four years ago, before he changed his mind.
In one one of their many fake news stories today, the New York Times says Donald Trump is going to cause sea level to rise six meters at Boston, drowning the city.
What Trump’s Climate Legacy Could Look Like – The New York Times
Sea level at Boston has been falling the last six years, but the long term trend (due almost entirely to land subsidence) is that Boston will drown in 2,000 years. I expect that Trump’s term will be over by then.
Sea Level Trends – State Selection
King Canute had to actually take his village idiots down to the sea to show that he doesn’t control sea level. Trump may have to do that with the idiots at the New York Times, who know perfectly well that Obama’s fake climate treaty does nothing to slow CO2 emissions
Climate Goals Pledged by China and the U.S. – The New York Times
In 1999, NASA showed there was no net global warming from 1866 to 1976, and that 1877 was the warmest year during that interval.
Archived version of http://www.giss.nasa.gov/data/gistemp/GLB.Ts.txt
Note that this looks nothing like Michael Mann’s hockey stick blade from 1866 to 1976. Mann shows about 0.4C net warming from 1866 to 1976.
The next image overlays the 1999 NASA data on the hockey stick graph, at the same scale normalized to the 1877 spike.
In one of many fake news stories from Salon today, Trump also controls the moon.
No worries though. Salon and NASA already drowned New York in 2008.
In further evidence that the world is run by complete morons, the UN global climate chief has asked Trump to stop sea level rise.
Climate talks: ‘Save us’ from global warming, US urged – BBC News
This is surprising, because eight years ago, Obama was absolutely certain that he had slowed the rise of the seas. And in fact, President Obama was correct – sea level at Fiji has fallen sharply since Obama took office in 2009.
In 1979, NOAA and the NSF said global cooling since WWII was indisputable, it was about half a degree C, it was causing droughts and floods, it would probably turn back into warming, and the swings were due to natural variability rather than climate change.
There is a record of such variability ever since man made observations.

Facts didn’t suit the White House agenda to seize control of the global energy supply, so Gavin Schmidt at NASA simply erased the post-WWII cooling.
