The latest version of NOAA’s Global Historical Climatology network (GHCN) has an even more impressive hockey stick than prior versions, showing more than 1.6C warming – with a spectacular post 1970 hockey stick.

JCLI-D-18-0094.1

The post-2000 global warming pause was central to the 2014 IPCC report, but it has been erased.

The hockey stick since 1970 also bears no resemblance to lower troposphere temperatures, which show much less warming since 1978.

Over the past 20 years, NOAA and NASA have massively altered their data to increase warming.  The graph below combines the 2000 version of NASA global surface temperatures, with lower troposphere  temperatures – and shows a total of less than 0.8C warming since middle of the 19th century. Less than one half of the current claims by NOAA.

In the year 2000, NASA showed about 0.5C warming prior to 2000.  Now they show nearly 1.5C warming prior to the year 2000.

NASA and NOAA are constantly altering their data to cool the past and warm the present.

In 1989, NOAA said most global warming occured prior to 1919, and that earth cooled from 1921 to 1979.

NOAA now shows 0.6C warming during the 1921 to 1979 cooling.

In 1978, experts said there was no end in sight to the 30 year cooling trend, which has now been completely erased by NOAA.

International Team of Specialists Finds No End in Sight to 30‐Year Cooling Trend in Northern Hemisphere – The New York Times

NOAA has turned that 30 year cooling trend into a warming trend.

In 1978, NOAA showed about half a degree cooling from 1958 until 1976 – at both the surface and the troposphere.

The graph below overlays the 1978 world surface temperatures on the current NOAA graph.  You can see that 1976 was just as cold as the 1880s.

In 1974, the National Center for Atmospheric Research showed the same thing – 1970 was cooler than 1900.

NOAA now shows 1970 about half a degree warmer than 1900.

During the 1970s, scientists were so worried global cooling, that they wrote a letter to President Nixon warning of a new ice in about a century.

Climategate E-mails show that climate scientists openly discussed their plans to alter past data and cool the past, and that is exactly what they have done.

The 1940s blip has been removed, just as climate scientists colluded to do.

Climate alarmists frequently claim temperature adjustments reduce warming, but as you can see in the graph above, that claim is patently false. Prior to 1970, the adjusted temperatures are cooler than the measured temperatures, which increases warming.

This fake thermometer data is what Michael Mann grafted on to the proxy data, after he hid the inconvenient decline. And he used the fake thermometer data as his justification to hide the proxy data.

Before they could hide the decline in proxy temperatures, NOAA had to hide the decline in the surface temperatures.

In the absence of any actual evidence of warming, policymakers depend entirely on fake temperature graphs from NOAA and NASA, who make their graphs faker and faker every year – in an attempt to seize control of public policy. This is exactly what President Eisenhower warned about in his farewell address.

The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

Now climate scientists say global warming makes winters cold and snowy, and that they predicted it all along.

Yesterday I showed how the National Climate Assessment is committing blatant fraud about heat waves, by hiding the data which shows their claims are inverted from reality.

Extreme Fraud In The National Climate Assessment | The Deplorable Climate Science Blog

In this post, I show how they are doing exactly the same thing with wildfires. They show US burn acreage rapidly increasing.

The graph was taken from page 38 of the Fourth National Climate Assessment document released in November 2018.

Fourth National Climate Assessment, Volume II: Impacts, Risks, and Adaptation in the United States

But why did they start their graph in 1983? The US has very detailed burn acreage data going back for more than a century, and it was much higher prior to 1970.

Indicator 3.16: Area and percent of forest affected by abiotic agents

I overlaid the National Climate Assessment Graph on the Forest Service graph, and it becomes clear exactly what they are doing.  Like in the the heatwave graph, they picked the lowest point for their start date, so that they could show an upwards trend – and deceive the public.

They hid essentially all of the essential data, which shows that burn acreage is down 80% in the US over the past 90 years.

Burn acreage was very carefully tracked and reported during the 1930s. People split the atom and built the Golden Gate Bridge during the 1930s.  It is not surprising that they also knew how to do the basic mathematics which climate scientists seem to be incapable of.

October 9, 1938 – NYTimes

The same story in California.  Last year had very high burn acreage, but the trend since the 1930’s is generally down.

In 1936, forest fires were seen as the greatest threat to prosperity.

And as always, the fraudulent work of the National Climate Assessment is backed by many other fraudsters, like the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Climate alarmists have their own set of alternative facts, determined by what they remember from the last week or two.

No he is fighting the insane weather we are facing nowadays. We have 15C° temperature in winter in western europe for more than a week now. Seems you are denying facts.

Thirty years ago, The Guardian and Canberra Times said that without global communism, sea level would rise one to four meters by the year 2030.

GOVERNMENTS must yield national sovereignty to multilateral authorities able to enforce laws “across environmentally invisible frontiers”

A Commonwealth Expert Group set up to look at climate change estimated there was a 90 per cent certainty that    …. sea levels would rise by between one and four metres, by the year 2030.

Who would house the displaced populations of low lying areas like the Maldives, a chain of 1200 islands barely above sea level? Current attitudes to refugees and immigrants in most countries did not suggest that large population movements were feasible. Acceptance of an enhanced risk of large scale drowning was clearly not an option.

The Canberra Times also said the Maldives would be underwater by 2018.

When the National Climate Assessment was released last fall, a massive barrage of hysterical propaganda came with it – like this article in The Atlantic saying we are all going to burn up, based on an increase in US heat waves since the 1960s.

The graph was taken from page 38 of the Fourth National Climate Assessment document released in November 2018.

But why did they choose the 1960s for their start date?  The US has excellent temperature records going back the late 19th century, and in fact the 2017 National Climate Assessment showed heat wave data going back to 1900. The 2017 data showed unambiguously that US summers were much hotter prior to 1960, and that the 1960s and 1970s had the fewest heatwaves of any period in the US. This very important data was excluded from the 2018 report.

Data from the EPA shows the same thing.

I overlaid the 2018 NCA graph on the 2017 NCA data, and it becomes very clear what they are doing.  The 2018 report released to the public, cherry-picked the only start date in the graph which they could use to create the appearance of a warming trend.

Here is the same overlay with the EPA graph – once again showing the extreme fraud in the 2018 NCA document.

The next two graphs show the very hot pre-1960 weather which is being hidden in the 2018 NCA report.

Reality is the exact opposite of what is claimed in the Atlantic article and the 2018 National Climate Assessment report.  The frequency of hot days has plummeted in the US over the past century.

The number of all-time record maximum temperatures peaked in the US in the 1930s, and bottomed in the 1960s when then the NCA started their graph.

Meanwhile, government climate scientists say the ice is disappearing due to global warming.

Experts also say Great Lakes water levels are declining due to global warming.

Actual Great Lakes water levels are near record highs.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing government climate scientists say which is even remotely accurate, and normally the exact opposite of reality.
