Why Data Tampering Matters (or How To Hide Your Failed Predictions)

I frequently post these graphs showing how NOAA and NASA have erased America’s hot past, and particularly how they made the incredibly hot year of 1934 disappear.

NASA 1999    NASA 2018

Let’s look at what they are erasing.  The summer of 1934 had ten massive heat waves east of the Rockies. Minnesota had a record cold spring this year, but in 1934 Minnesota was an extremely hot place – with many days over 100 degrees.

Milan, Minnesota, reached 113 degrees in 1934, compared to a maximum of 96 degrees last year.

Minnesota had many hot summers when CO2 was below 350 PPM, yet had none since CO2 reached James Hansen’s deadly threshold.

The last hot summer in Minnesota was in 1988 when Hansen warned Congress that the Midwest was going to burn up and dry out.

Here are some of the heatwaves of 1934 that Hansen et al erased via data tampering.

But what NASA and NOAA are really erasing is their failed predictions. Thirty years ago this month, NASA’s James Hansen warned Congress of increased heatwaves and droughts in the Midwest.  He had it exactly backward.

24 Jun 1988, Page 8 – The Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune at Newspapers.com

Hansen made specific predictions about the number of 100-degree days skyrocketing in several cities around the US and growing cotton in Siberia.

Every one of his predictions was backward. The frequency of 90- and 100-degree days has plummeted in the US.

Closest USHCN station to Dallas.

Closest USHCN station to Memphis.

Closest USHCN station to Chicago.

All of Hansen’s temperature forecasts were wrong, as were his drought forecasts. Both the US and the Midwest have gotten much wetter over the past century, the exact opposite of Hansen’s forecasts.

And what about the predictions of growing cotton in Siberia? Scientists got this idiocy from Arrhenius over 100 years ago.

The Pueblo Leader – Google News Archive Search

Siberia broke the Northern Hemisphere record for cold this year.  Cotton doesn’t grow at -62C.

Hansen “echoing the work of other scientists” predicted the Arctic would be ice-free no later than 2018. Democrats declared him a prophet over that prediction.

The Argus-Press – Google News Archive Search

Instead, we are seeing the highest volume of sea ice in several years, very slow melt, and ice volume almost reaching the “normal line.”

Climate scientists have been pushing junk global warming theory on and off for over a century. But the real hysteria started with James Hansen in June 1988.

As his predictions failed, he began to tamper with the data to cover his tracks, and now all that climate science is left with is failed models, fraud, and data tampering.  It is a criminal venture in collapse.

    Every time I read and article on adjusting historical data to support the climate change fraud I make the point of why they do it. These “scientists” know that the unadjusted data doesn’t support the movement. That is the only possible motivation for altering the data. This is where the true fraud it. Many liberals and environmentalists probably support the movement because they are ill informed or are down right stupid. However, the “scientists” who are changing the data have to know that they are committing fraud.

    In true science data is compared to the theory. In this case the theory is the climate models that the entire climate change movement is built around. When the data doesn’t match the theory, in true science the theory is either altered or scrapped. In climate change the data is altered to fit their theory. That is why it is called junk science.

    TIME will run with what ever sells . Cooling,
    flooding and warming all have only so much traction
    before they need a generational refresh.
    Where are all those brilliant scientists and spin doctors that tried to scare the world about the impending ice ball ? Strangely silenced now .
    An underlying problem in society is demand for information outstrips supply and so quality has suffered .Climate science integrity has suffered but at the core is a lack of accountability and consequences . Want to run indefinite $trillion deficits , go ahead
    till the last day anyone buys your wall paper . The global warming scam will seem quaint and TIME will have some really scary stuff to cover .

    The same liberal rag TIME that was lying like Barron Munchhasen about Global Warming back in the 1990’s was going on about Global Cooling and a New Ice Age back in the 1970’s more proof this who Global Warming/Climate Change is one of the biggist hoaxes in the history of Mankind

    NOAA and NASA need to exit the temperature manufacturing business . Why is Bill Nye no longer placing those very confident
    warmest year on record forecasts ?
    NASA cannot afford to trash it’s brand further by whipping up
    adjusted temperature statistics with predetermined outcomes . It really is below them .
    Way too much store is put on average world temperature claims .
    We can’t even predict the longevity of an active volcano eruption but some how are able to claim average earth temperatures are
    so precise after they are doctored and run through a political/media spin machine .
    We are wasting $trillions of non existent cash (debt ) over a vain
    foolish sales pitch that humans are now in charge of setting the earth’s temperature . That is insane .
