The Disappearing USHCN Data

Besides the fact that they were caught red handed manually tampering with the post 2008 data, another possible reason why USHCN deleted four years worth of monthly data off their server on Sunday is that it makes it impossible to investigate when they make their fraudulent claim that July was the hottest ever.

Time Magazine : Worst Magazine Ever?

Tim Magazine is convinced that global warming is going to kill us all. In 1974, they were sure that global cooling was going to kill us all.

In 1974, they blamed drought and flooding on global cooling. Now they blame drought and flooding on global warming.

TIME Magazine June 1974: Another Ice Age?

In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries

“I don’t believe that the world’s present population is sustainable if there are more than three years like 1972 in a row.”

Worst Scientists In History

In Galileo’s time, scientists ignored some relatively subtle perturbations in planetary orbits in order to maintain their dogmatic beliefs of an Earth-centric universe.

Things are much worse now, because scientists actively alter the data – and ignore the vast bulk of the available climate record prior to 1980.

1972 Olympic Deja Vu

In 1972, the referee at the US/Russia  basketball match had his mind made up that Russia was going to beat the US.

Spokane Daily Chronicle – Google News Archive Search

We had a repeat yesterday in women’s soccer – with the referee determined to see the US beat Canada.

Canada took the lead three separate times through three Christine Sinclair goals of exponentially expanding skill. It was a triptych that ought to be hanging over a Flemish altar.

“We feel like we didn’t lose, we feel like it was taken from us,” Sinclair said. “It’s a shame in a game like that that was so important, the ref decided the result before it started.”

New Paper Cherrypicks The 1970s Ice Age Scare For Comparing Heatwaves

Yes,  the 1970s were cold. Why not compare against the 1930s?

This is junk science at its worst

Extreme Heat Is Covering More of the Earth, a Study Says – NYTimes.com

In 1999, Hansen said the exact opposite of what he is claiming now.

Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.

Time Magazine Goes Full Stupid On Drought

Why the Drought Won’t Be Getting Better Anytime Soon — and Why This One Won’t Be the Last

The droughts gets broader and deeper, covering more than three-fifths of the continental U.S. And scientific studies show that this sort of drought could only be the beginning

That is brilliant. Droughts happen every few years. Fortunately we haven’t had a repeat of the 1930s or 1950s recently.

More USHCN Madness

The graph below shows last month’s version of USHCN final minus TOBS.

TOBS itself is completely out of control, but what is this additional steadily increasing two degree adjustment about?

It is not documented by USHCN, which only admits another 0.2F above TOBS. Whatever this adjustment is, it is 1000% above what they are documenting.

Tom’s TOBS Nature Trick

In Menne at al 2009, they claim that the TOBS adjustments in USHCN2 are the same as in USHCN1.

Nice story but it isn’t true.

ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ushcn/v2/monthly/menne-etal2009.pdf

Note in the graph above that the TOBS adjustment continues to rise from 1990 to the present. In the USHCN1 version, TOBS flattened after 1990

ts.ushcn_anom25_diffs_pg.gif (650×502)

The next graph overlays the most recent TOBS adjustments (blue) on the USHCN 1 graph

As you can see, they have added an extra 0.2 F (60%) on to the TOBS adjustment since USHCN 1.  The claims in Menne et al are incorrect.

The USHCN station history file shows almost no changes to temperature observation times after 1990, so it seems quite likely that the USHCN2 post 1990 TOBS upwards adjustments are complete garbage – added on to bring the numbers up.

Back To 1991 With Miriam And Barry

Barry was fresh out of school and looking to make some money from writing. He was noticed by Jane Dystel who offered to take him under her wing.

Barry became her client, and Miriam Goderich put together the promotional booklet below, stating that Barry was born in Kenya. It is inconceivable that the bio was not written by Barry, because that is how these things are always done. Where else could Miriam have possibly gotten his personal information from?

Even more implausible is that he was unaware of the booklet. It would have been a very big deal for him at that stage of his life.
