A new study found adjustments made to global surface temperature readings by scientists in recent years “are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”
“Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published [global average surface temperature (GAST)] data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever – despite current claims of record setting warming,” according to a study published June 27 by two scientists and a veteran statistician.
The peer-reviewed study tried to validate current surface temperature datasets managed by NASA, NOAA and the UK’s Met Office, all of which make adjustments to raw thermometer readings. Skeptics of man-made global warming have criticized the adjustments.
Climate scientists often apply adjustments to surface temperature thermometers to account for “biases” in the data. The new study doesn’t question the adjustments themselves but notes nearly all of them increase the warming trend.
Basically, “cyclical pattern in the earlier reported data has very nearly been ‘adjusted’ out” of temperature readings taken from weather stations, buoys, ships and other sources.

We saw the same thing a few years ago in the Climategate memos.
Why would the temps need adjusted up anyway?
It’s not like the thermometer is in the cooler with Frankie Carbone. If anything, the Urban Heat Island effect should require that the temps be adjusted DOWN to account for asphalt everywhere.
About twenty years ago I saw a Documentary about the ‘Green Party in Germany. One of the ‘Green Party’ leaders, a young radical leftist, said, “Global Warming is the best vehicle to World Socialism”. That’s all it is...
Here is the study, for those who like reading such things.

Many of them are by heat sources.
So much for the review process. I wonder if any peer reviewed analysis and related documentation be trusted. For ANYTHING.
The New Science is manipulating empirical data to support the predetermined conclusion.
Fake temperatures!!!!!
What’s wrong with the peer review process in this case?
These guys are telling the truth.
Due to the urban heat island effect, are temperatures today really comparable to the temperatures of the past? And do these people gathering data, ever take that into account?
“Peer Reviewed” doesn’t carry much weight with me. It all depends on who your peers are, how they were selected, and how much they are getting paid.
New USGS study shows heat retaining concrete and asphalt have encroached upon US Climate Stations
bkmk
To “validate” their climate models
Thanks for the post.
“Adjustments” = fudging data to make it say what you want it to say.
Yes, but I think one problem is that there is no independent means to acquire the empirical data. Nobody can put up sensors all over the globe and launch their own satellites to independently verify temperature readings. They all have the same data set to work with, with the same flaws and shortcomings.
With that methodology, independent verification is impossible. They can either assume the data is usable, and then just debate as to the degree and type of “adjustments” they need to make, or they can conclude the data isn’t reliable and then they won’t be part of the debate at all, since they won’t be publishing.
But they are able to acquire some empirical data. What the IPCC did in Climategate is intentionally delete data that did not support global warming, while keeping the data that did. If they had kept all the data, it would have shown that the earth is warming in some spots, and cooling in others. This is completely natural, which they didn’t want anyone to know.
Of course not! The weather station reading at the grass strip airport in Podunk (back in 1935) shows HUGE INCREASES in temperatures at the same airport now having paved runways and substantial jet traffic! The "Sky is Falling"..., just give me a few more million to study it and scare the h*ll out of you!
That’s why it’s anthropogenic or “man made” global warming.
