The NASA/GISS temperature record is not actually a record of recorded temperatures. It is simply the most recent version of NASA's adjustments to older adjustments. It is not thermometer readings. It is models all the way down.
In 2012, I wrote an American Thinker article on the status of global warming at the time. I used the latest available NASA/GISS data to do that analysis, which was the version NASA had on its website on April 30, 2012 (Land-Ocean Temperature Index [LOTI]).
At that time, the data from 1880 through 2011 showed a warming trend of 0.59 degrees Celsius per century.
What is that warming trend using the latest data from NASA's website (December 30, 2017), using those same exact years (1880-2011)? The answer is 0.66˚ C.
How did warming accelerate if we are looking at the very same years?
Apparently, the Earth is getting warmer faster than it was five and a half years ago, but not because of actual recorded thermometer readings in those last five and a half years. It is getting warmer faster because NASA adjusted the data to show faster warming. When you go to the NASA website, you can download temperature anomalies "1880-present." But those data change every month. NASA adjusts it. You cannot find any older versions. NASA makes available only its most recent version. And NASA does not explain how it adjusts the data. You must simply trust it.
I still have the data from 2012 only because I downloaded them to a spreadsheet and kept that spreadsheet.
What are the differences between the two sets of data? See the first figure, which shows all adjustments to data from 1880 through 2011. NASA made these adjustments after April 2012.

GISS at Columbia needs to be defunded.
In real science, when the data disagrees with the theory, you alter the theory. In climate “science”, when the data disagrees with the theory, they alter the data. It’s not science.
NASA/GISS Past temps are no longer fixed.
Past temps are part of an algorithm.
An algorithm which is programmed to show an increase.
It’s worthless.
Science is not objective ‘science’ anymore, it is politically influenced outcomes.......
The DMSP spacecraft is the only spacecraft that has measured the Earth’s temperature in every square kilometer since the early 1960’s. It has recorded a temp DROP of 0.02 degrees in that period.
It's politically AND MONETARY influenced outcomes!
About the author: “Randall Hoven is a retired Boeing technical fellow with a bachelor’s degree and two master’s degrees in engineering, which is two more master’s degrees than Bill Nye the Science Guy has. He teaches at a university now, not on TV.”
LOL!
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
By taxing it of course.
Also, there is a fallacy in Hoven’s fundamental assumption, and that is that the overall trend would be linear.
But more than that, I have an issue with Hoven’s thesis: he presents the graphs only, not the data sets. His argument would be much better accepted if he presented the data in tabular form to illustrate exactly where the data have been altered. As a user of Excel, I know how changing or adding just one data point can change this particular type of graph, because the results are very sensitive to that. Which means that the accuracy of the results is something that must be considered when using such data. The trend is what is important; not the numeric value.
I find this post to be one of the most interesting I’ve read in a while. I’ve been reading about temperature data for years and want to be as informed as possible.
The most frustrating thing for me here is, as mentioned in the article, is that NASA and others keep adjusting the temperatures and removing their old data, making it very difficult if not impossible to determine true temperature increases, if any.
I also find NASAs sea level rise to be completely bogus and I’m probably going to have the same issues with their sea level data.
Knowing both areas (temperature and sea level) change (or so-called change) very well and being able to explain that to others is something I think is very important. Well, at least to me.
It is models all the way down.
NASA is just like the IRS, FBI, DOJ et all, politized,
We live in interesting times.
It is all a fraud. A hoax.
Love you post.
Have stolen it many times.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
More tree rings.
Climate Change is much stronger than the deniers will acknowledge. It can even change climate that occurred many years ago.
How would this work in other areas? Suppose I have an auto accident case and my expert gets up on the stand to give an opinion that it was all the defendant’s fault. Then comes the cross-examination: Mr. Expert, you based your opinion on 110 feet of skidmarks. But you didn’t measure the skidmarks. By the time you were retained, the road had been repaved and no skidmarks were visible from this accident. And isn’t it a fact that when the skidmarks were measured by the highway patrol shortly after the accident, they measured 93 feet of skidmarks?
There goes my case.
