NASA prominently features this graph of “global temperature” showing very close agreement between different data sets by different government agencies since 1880.
NASA: Climate Change and Global Warming
I am going to show you the evidence now why the only way this could have happened is via collusion between the agencies.
There is not enough data available to generate a coherent global long-term temperature record, much less have a close agreement by independent agencies.
In 1978, the New York Times reported there was too little temperature data from the Southern Hemisphere to draw any reliable conclusions.
International Team of Specialists Finds No End in Sight to 30‐Year Cooling Trend in Northern Hemisphere
New York Times, January 5, 1978
The report, prepared by German, Japanese and American specialists, appears in the Dec. 15 issue of Nature, the British journal. The findings indicate that from 1950 to 1975 the cooling, per decade, of most climate indexes in the Northern Hemisphere was from 0.1 to 0.2 degrees Celsius, roughly 0.2 to 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Data from the Southern Hemisphere, particularly south of latitude 30 south, are so meager that reliable conclusions are not possible, the report says. The 30th parallel of south latitude passes through South Africa, Chile and southern Australia. The cooling trend seems to‐extend at least part way into the Southern Hemisphere but there have been indications of warming at high southern latitudes.
In 1981, NASA’s James Hansen reported the same thing. There is little historical data from the Southern Hemisphere and oceans.

In this 2009 Climategate E-mail, Phil Jones from CRU said there was very little ship data in large areas of the Southern Hemisphere and the historical data in those regions was “mostly made up.”
Maps from NOAA show that there was very little quality thermometer data outside of the US in the year 1900.

Same story in 1920. Very little quality data outside of the US, Western Europe, Japan, and parts of Australia.

There are still very large areas of missing data, represented by gray in the NOAA map below.
However, the lack of data doesn’t stop NOAA from declaring record heat in places with no thermometer data.
Fake Data – The Basis Of Climate Science | The Deplorable Climate Science Blog
The US has the only high-quality long-term temperature set covering a large area in the world, and the US temperature record is massively tampered with – to turn 90 years of cooling into warming.

No legitimate scientist would alter data like this. If they have theories about possible issues with the data, the correct way to handle it is to put error bars on the graph – not alter the data and present it as if it is the actual thermometer data.
That is fraud, not science.
Between 1999 and 2016, NASA completely altered the shape of the US temperature graph to turn seventy years of cooling into warming.
As far as global temperatures go, NASA has massively altered their own surface temperature record over the past 20 years, and have doubled pre-2000 warming.
How can four different independent agencies come up with four very similar graphs, when NASA doesn’t even agree with themselves from 20 years ago?
NASA surface temperature graphs have completely erased the post-1940 cooling seen in 1974 NCAR graphs.
This removal of the “1940’s blip” was done intentionally. Climate scientists openly discussed their desire to get rid of the 1940’s warmth.
But historical records show that circa 1940 was very warm – with glaciers rapidly melting in Greenland, North America, and Europe.

This warmth of the 1930s and 1940s turned rapidly into cooling – which has been largely erased in current NASA temperature graphs.

A recent meeting of climate experts in Bonn, West Germany, produced the unanimous conclusion that the change in global weather patterns poses a severe threat to agriculture that could lead to major crop failures and mass starvation.

I’ve worked with global temperature data, and know that you can produce any shaped global temperature graph you want by picking the right set of stations.
There are grossly inadequate amounts of both historical and current data to produce a meaningful long term temperature graph for the earth. Much of the data is fake – by their own admission.
The best temperature data set (by far) is the US data, which has been altered by NOAA and NASA over the past 20 years to turn 90 years of cooling into warming.
Global temperatures have also been massively altered over the past 45 years. And climate scientists colluded to remove the 1940s blip.
There is no conceivable way this graph could have been produced without lots of collusion between the four “independent” agencies.

The data tampering to support the climate change political movement is very obvious. I once read an article by a Democratic Congress woman. She acknowledged that the fraud existed. She then went on to say that we should use the altered data to form US policy
This fraud is out and out criminal. Unfortunately not even Trump seems interested in prosecuting.
Tony, I am shocked. Shocked!!!
When I read that the warmists conjured up temperature data for areas that had no actual records, I was disgusted. That is NOT what scientists would do. Ocean vessels kept written logs of water intake temperature, but it doesn’t support their theory, so they discard it. When you have reliable records, preserve them!
Don’t argue with that data.
The USA isn’t the only country with solid records. Americans didn’t invent the thermometer. I suspect that Europe has solid meteorological records, but good luck prying it out of their cold, socialist hands.
