The NOAA has shamelessly manipulated the US surface temperature records. This is one of the world’s most influential climate records, and they just faked it.
In recent years NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been adjusting its temperature record by replacing real temperatures with data fabricated by computer models.
The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data.
Steven Goddard uncovered all this on his blog Real Science - look for posts headed 'Data tampering at USHCN/GISS', or just 'NOAA' I guess.
Goddard compares the currently published temperature graphs with those based only on temperatures measured at the time. These show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record; whereas the latest NOAA graph, nearly half of it based on fabricated data, shows it to have been warming at a rate equivalent to more than 3 degrees centigrade per century.
The NOAA is not a scientific organisation. They faked their data.
Here’s a link to a specific post on this subject on Steven Goddard’s site:

Whenever I read these “still heating up” headlines, I always say, “Don’t tell me. You’re talking surface temperature, right?”
Has anyone seen the stations they actually use? Some used to be in empty fields and now are in parking lots next to HVAC heat exchangers.
Give me a break.
“The NOAA is not a scientific organisation. They faked their data.”
There is no other choice but to fake when you have an agenda and no data! The claim is that they have determined the average temperature of the entire planet for the month of July 2015 and determined that it was “1.46” degrees higher than the average temperature for the ONE HUNDRED YEARS known as the twentieth century. That is an accuracy of one one hundredth of one percent. What really scares me is knowing the number of Americans who are unthinking enough to take such a number seriously. Where do people think they might have gotten information of that accuracy going back to the last day of the “Gay Nineties”?
Why don’t they just tell us the total number of white hairs on all of the calico cats that lived in the twentieth century? I, for one, would take it just as seriously as their temperature claims.

And I imagine that NOAA is following orders from the crooks in the Uniparty.
