I’d love to see one of these reports were they didn’t have to keep “adjusting” the data.

Better yet, I’d love to see an explanation of why some data has to be adjusted, how is that decided and then what judgments go into determining how much to adjust and in what direction.

Too much fiddling with the numbers here.

Oh, and by the way, were measurements from previous years adjusted down in order to make this conclusion fit the assumption?

It looks like it Plangent. The NOAA applied a sickle-shaped adjustment that lowered the temperatures in the 1930s and 1940s by 0.1 deg C - and raised it by as much as 0.3 degrees C in the most recent 20 years.
