“The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever.”
Link here.
This is a nicely written review of some of the research that Steven Goddard, Paul Homewood, and others have done to uncover the wholesale and unjustified adjustments to the surface temperature data that have been done by scientists at the Goddard Institute of Space Studies and at NOAA. Essentially, the warming of the past half century has been faked by artificially lowering the recorded temperatures of the past while artificially raising the recorded temperatures of the present.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I am a skeptical scientist, but I haven’t seen any detailed explanation with examples from those responsible for these adjustments so am hesitant to call it fraud YET. I do smell smoke however. Let’s see the justification with a clear background and detail and the exact algorithms used.
The science is unsettled.
I think it would be a toss up in all time scientific scandals between this “climate chaos” contrivance and a certain other official government agency “scientific” / technical report. Either way the take away from this known structural situation is an absolute statement, and there are few absolute statements that can be made.
Absolute statement #1: It must be your default position related to all announcements and pronouncements by any politician or government official that what ever they say must be assumed to be a 100 percent lie, until other wise established through your own due diligence.
Why? Because the acquisition of power and the retention of power (politics) require it.
Snow in winter!! Proof of global warming!!
“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”
How could the respected climate scientists of the world possibly be involved with changing data without making clear that this is what they are doing and explaining why they are doing it? [End of sarcasm]
This process makes them suspect of fudging the data. those who fudge data do so without informing the rest of us, those who do not fudge tell us about the change and clearly explain why, so that the rest of us can determine whether their thought process is reasonable.
I *am* ready to call it fraud, considering that the East Anglia scientists were fudging data — the purpose of “hiding the decline,” and “lost” their data rather than show it to the world for verification. The climate science community has shown that they will not publish evidence that does not point in the direction of global warming/anthropogenic climate change/the need for government tyrannical control over our lives in order to save our lives/whatever, and those who disagree with this direction are routinely insulted and harassed. The IPCC has used statements out of magazine articles as scientific evidence equal to peer reviewed papers. Worse, the peer review process in several areas of scientific-paper publication has been shown to be deficient — especially in the area of climate science.
The use of the scientific method in climate science is so bad that when temperatures stopped climbing as predicted, rather than question the prediction, the climate science community questions the reality. And now they are fudging the data to make it look like temperatures have climbed more that previously reported. Please allow me to remind everyone of one of the basic methods and tenets of science:

“If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That simple statement is the key to science.”
Yet those working in the climate sciences ignore that their computation results do not agree with observation and continue to rationalize their computation results as right.
“You cannot prove a vague theory wrong.”
When everything that happens proves the theory, then the theory cannot be proved wrong. Floods and Hurricanes prove global warming, but so do droughts. Both lack of snow and excessive snow prove global warming. I could go on, but here is the list of things that are caused by global warming, thus are proof of global warming:

Then again, no one has linked global temperature with human activity, other than to say that the temperature is rising and humans are putting CO2 into the atmosphere. Correlation does not prove causality, so the climate scientists need to demonstrate the causality — which they haven’t done. With logic like that, we could prove that CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause increased use of computers.
The pattern is clear. The trend has been demonstrated. Climate science has turned itself into a culture as scientific and respectable as astrology. Maybe the climate scientists could tell us which day that it is good to go to the dentist.
Either this area of science is guilty of the most horrendous dereliction of due diligence ever seen (incompetent), or they are fraudulently fudging their data and conclusions (malicious). Our policy makers should not be using the conclusions of climate science to set policy that affects our lives. That they do makes them either incompetent or malicious. I have concluded that it is the latter, in both cases.
Keep up the good work. These stories are barely mentioned in most major media so we need to spread it around grassroots-style.
Keeping in mind that we are in a continuing general warming trend related to the last advance of ice and rising of sea levels which is a cycle of approximately 100 K years.
The mitigation of pollution, absolutely, all day every day. The amount of human activity (which is the issue) that effects the climate and to what degree, is the question. And you can not come to a proper answer to the question if from the start those who are gathering and interpreting the data have already decided what that answer should or needs to be and are willing to “adjust” that data to fulfill that preconceived notion.
The net result of all of this is that the past keeps getting colder as time goes on.
