A tip by Juergen Uhlemann led me to this. As of 2006, Hansen showed that essentially all Arctic warming occurred prior to 1940, with a dip during the 1970s.

Hansen’s original data agreed with the newspaper reports I have been printing. What happened since 2006 to change the data?
In case you were under the false impression that we had defeated the Evil Empire when the Berlin Wall came down.
Hello Everyone,
In theory at least Oregon State University (OSU) seems to be a bastion of academic freedom, diversity, and tolerance. A wide range of ideas are openly discussed. The most viable rise to the top and the least viable fade away. But it is all a fairy tale, because OSU operates under a politically correct regimen that dictates what is acceptable to say and what is not. Transgressors who dare to be different are eventually weeded out so that the campus maintains its ideological purity.
OSU is not yet as swift or efficient as the Soviet system when Joseph Stalin was trying to quash dissent among biologists who refused to go along with Trofim Lysenko. If warnings to compromise their integrity were not followed, Stalin simply had biologists shot. That quickly thinned the ranks of all biologists and persuaded the remaining ones to comply with Stalin’s wishes. Of course, it also destroyed Soviet biology, because Lysenko was pedaling nonsense. And Russian biology has never recovered.
We learned over the weekend that chemist Nickolas Drapela, PhD has been summarily fired from his position as a “Senior Instructor” in the Department of Chemistry. The department chairman Richard Carter told him that he was fired but would not provide any reason. Subsequent attempts to extract a reason from the OSU administration have been stonewalled. Drapela appears to have been highly competent and well-liked by his students. Some have even taken up the fight to have him reinstated.
New research by a team of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists and international collaborators shows that the observed ocean warming over the last 50 years is consistent with climate models only if the models include the impacts of observed increases in greenhouse gas during the 20th century.
Research shows humans are primary cause of global ocean warming
Nice circular logic. They build a model which assumes that warming is caused by man-made CO2, then use the model as proof that the assumed warming is caused by man-made CO2.
Instead of fixing the model to reflect reality, these geniuses have chosen to alter reality to reflect the model.
With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.

Looks like Duncan Clark wins moron of the day.
Every nation is agreed that we should limit temperature rise and that the long-term future should be powered by abundant and inexpensive renewables, nuclear or CCS. But that doesn’t make it any easier or cheaper to leave the fossil fuels in the ground in the meantime – which is the only thing that matters to the climate.
Actually, fossil fuels are the only thing which matter to neurotic left-wing journalists who lack a basic understanding of science.
The two graphs below show what temperatures used to look like in the US and Iceland, before they were tampered with at GISS. The 1930s was the hottest decade, and temperatures were declining. This disproved Hansen’s theories, so he had to get rid of the graphs.
The blink comparators below show how Hansen got rid of those unwanted cooling trends.
Our lukewarm friends say that GISS data is all good, which means that the Earth is both warming and cooling at the same time.
The data was originally on the GISS web site at the URL below, but has since been deleted. I can’t imagine why.

So what about since 1999? Temperatures have also cooled in the 12 years since Hansen corrupted the US temperature record.
CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES Climate Summary
Bottom line is that the US has been cooling for 80 years, and Hansen et al have completely corrupted the data set.

Hansen’s current version of US temperatures
Michael Hammer has found the original uncorrupted GISS US temperature data on John Daly’s web site. Prior to GISS/USHCN perverting the data set in the year 2000, the 1930s was the hottest decade.

The data was originally here : http://www.giss.nasa.gov/data/update/gistemp/graphs/FigD.txt
If you try to go to that page, you get this :
Not Found
The requested URL /gistemp/graphs_v3/FigD.txt was not found on this server
So I went to the web archive, to look for an archived copy of the data on the GISS web site.
http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.giss.nasa.gov/data/update/gistemp/graphs/FigD.txt
This is what you get there :
Here is what www.giss.nasa.gov robots.txt looks like. Hansen is blocking the web archive from searching GISS data, selected meetings and his publications.

Having halted economic growth and racial harmony during his first term, Obama plans to seize control of the climate in his second term.
The President has said that the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change, one of the few issues that he thinks could fundamentally improve the world decades from now.
h/t to Marc Morano
Perhaps he could use his divine powers to revert the climate to what it was like in 1927?
It was 94 degrees in Washington on May 24, 1925. That was three degrees warmer than the warmest temperature recorded in Washington so far this year – which NOAA says was the hottest year ever.
