Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have been caught jiggering the temperature data in order to wipe out the well-known 15-year warming hiatus so that their new data will continue to affirm the global warming theory, a report says.
NOAA fiddled around with the data to try and minimize the fact that no global warming has occurred over the last 15 years because it conflicts with their global warming religion.
New climate data by NOAA scientists doubles the warming trend since the late 1990s by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward and inflating temperatures in more recent years.
“Newly corrected and updated global surface temperature data from NOAA’s [National Centers for Environmental Information] do not support the notion of a global warming ‘hiatus,’” wrote NOAA scientists in their study presenting newly adjusted climate data.
To increase the rate in warming, NOAA scientists put more weight on certain ocean buoy arrays, adjusted ship-based temperature readings upward, and slightly raised land-based temperatures as well. Scientists said adjusted ship-based temperature data “had the largest impact on trends for the 2000-2014 time period, accounting for 0.030°C of the 0.064°C trend difference.” They added that the “buoy offset correction contributed 0.014°C… to the difference, and the additional weight given to the buoys because of their greater accuracy contributed 0.012°C.”
Nothing shall be allowed to break the religious tenets.
Isn’t it more than 15 years now? More like 18 or so.
Shut the agency down and fire every last mother’s son that works there.
“Seasonal adjustments,” just like the government does to the CPI, unemployment and other economic figures, just so the figures come out the way they should have come out.
What’s wrong with that?
the dirty rat bastards - mariners depend on NOAA for accurate weather for our lives and now we find out we can’t even trust them for the temperature
Damn the facts; the theory must be preserved!
If they were tailoring a suit for you they’d lop off an arm if the sleeve was too short.
With this, there can be no doubt that their actions are in service to some other cause than the advance of knowledge.

I imagine we’re going to discover a lot more than fact manipulation after The One and his comrades leave the WH
As I posted on the previous thread, everyone should head over to WattsUpWithThat. They are having a blast with this “study” - beating it like a rented mule. It came out today and there are already (at least) 3 articles thoroughly debunking it.
Liberals at NOAA: ‘Our data is not scaring you because we don’t have global warming, so we decided to lie to you. We are the Obama administration, so we can because we don’t care about your rights, you peons.’
Ralph to Norton: Did you do that (put cigarette lighter up to see the red line) when YOU looked at the
thermometer? (Norton had just told Ralph his (Ralph's) temp was "111")
Just who are these NOAA "scientists?" And what are their credentials, we wonder?
Funny, Obola goes on his latest rant about climate change, media picks up the ball and runs with it, fast track trade bill is admittedly a climate change bill, EPA proposes new climate change regs, and now NOAA hides the decline, It’s almost as if there is a conspiracy, and no one notices.
Almost?
People used to think me an NWO tinfoil hatter.
George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth is alive and functioning well.
Scientific Fraud bump for later...
We’d have to outsource the nautical chart division.
In a sane world, perhaps.
Fraud is fraud. And the consequences in terms of cost astronomical.
The neurotic sociopaths rule the country!
It’s sort of like in the King of Siam movie where Yul Brenner shows the teacher a map where Siam is the biggest country in the world, dwarfing China....
> by adjusting pre-hiatus temperatures downward
Adjusting downward the same temperatures they said proved global warming. 15 years from now they’ll lower the 2015 temperature to prove a warming trend and we’ll forever live in the hottest year ever. Nice statistical trick.
