A Closer Look At USHCN TOBS Adjustments

According to USHCN docs, the V2 TOBS adjustment hasn’t changed since V1

This net effect is about the same as that of the TOB adjustments in the HCN version 1 temperature data (Hansen et al. 2001), which is to be expected since the same TOB-adjustment method is used in both versions.

The V1 TOBS adjustment was + 0.3F, and went flat after 1990.

But the V2 adjustment (which is supposed to be the same) is twice as large, and negative.

The next graph overlays the V2 adjustments in red, on the V1 adjustments in black. They claim that it is the same algorithm and nearly the same data.

Below, I normalized the two data sets to 1940, and you can see that there is a large divergence between V2 and V1 after 1950, and particularly after 1990. In V1, TOBS goes flat after 1990, but in V2 it rises exponentially.

Here is their claim again.

This net effect is about the same as that of the TOB adjustments in the HCN version 1 temperature data (Hansen et al. 2001), which is to be expected since the same TOB-adjustment method is used in both versions.

One more view shows the adjustments normalized to 1998. As always, cooling the past to create the appearance of warming.

Two Thirds Of Democrats Are Against Democracy

Even when asked to set aside their views on how the government is supposed to work, by a wide 60-37 percent margin voters still disapprove of Obama going around Congress.

Almost all Republicans disapprove of Obama acting without lawmakers (90 percent), as do two-thirds of independents (66 percent).

Democrats approve by a 66-31 percent margin

Why Is The Post 1940 Data Tampering So Important?

NOAA/CRU/NASA/Muller have wiped out the 1940-1970 cooling, but the historical record shows that their hockey sticks are complete crap.

The February Tampering Trap

NOAA has institutionalized data tampering of nearly two degrees in the US temperature record.

When the Great Lakes set a  new record for ice cover this month, NOAA will still report that a few dozen years were colder – even though that is impossible. Are the fraudsters going to argue that the freezing point of water has changed?
