And reading further, it's worse than I realized. Not only are they arbitrarily adjusting readings UP, to show more warming than actually exists, they're going into the old records and ADJUSTING THEM DOWNWARD!
They're changing past data to claim it was colder than it really was, so when they show their current data that claims it's hotter than it really is, they can show a huge temperature increase.
If you make a chart of the adjustments made to the raw data, it's a fucking copy of the shape of the modified data. The entire warming trend is made up, it's fake. Furthermore, actual scientific best practice would be to adjust current temperatures DOWNWARD to correct for the urban heat island effect (If you measure temps an inch off the tar at an airport you're going to get higher numbers than you should). Instead they adjust UPWARD, which makes no goddamn sense.
It's just completely fucked. The entire thing is made up. Over half the data in those charts is made up, then even show it with an "E" in the "final" data.
How is this fucking scam still going? The actual data exists. You can see the adjustments. It's not people bringing snowballs to the senate, this is real actual hard data.
By the way, people who say "Who cares, if we're wrong we just pollute a little less" this shit has been responsible for closing down coal fired power plants, meaning the cost of electricity went up. You know those poor people the left supposedly cares about? They can't really afford to pay more for electricity for no reason.
That's not counting big projects that have been done due to "global warming". For example, in Australia they built a desalinization plant because climate scientists had a consensus that their water supply would dry up in the next few years. That desalinization plant now sits unused, as the water supply didn't dry up as forecasted. Oops, oh well, I'm sure there was nothing else worthwhile to do with that money.
