This site used to carry the statement Not evil, just wrong. That may well apply to most of devotees and many of the proponents of the CAGW creed. It is overtime to continue to pretend it applies to all. There are enemies of humanity involved in this.
They, their actions, their manipulations, their destruction of human capacity to see reality, need to be cataloged. Be they scientists, activists, journalists, functionaries businesses politicians or toadies. The day is fast approaching when the world will judge them, and the evidence needs to be gathered and stored.

An adjustment of 0.10C or so may need [not] seem a lot, but the latest GISS anomaly, against the baseline of 1951-80, is 0.44C. These adjustments make up about a quarter of this figure.
Indeed, when the claimed basis for CAGW projections is all about several tenths of a degree, each bit matters. In the example of U.S. temperature history, Hansens GISS changed it over a key period by at least around 0.3 degrees, as seen by comparing plots within the latter portion of http://s7.postimage.org/69qd0llcr/intermediate.gif (click to enlarge).
By actions like that, they avoid having plots widely distributed to public view become relatively closer to data like http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/ArcticIce/Images/arctic_temp_trends_rt.gif or that in the old National Geographic article at http://tinyurl.com/cxo4d3l
Those who arent really bothered in the slightest by the preceding do likewise with sea level rise history (actually less rise in the 2nd half of the 20th century than in the first in trustworthy data in contrast to claims otherwise), cloud cover history, solar history, arctic ice history, and just about everything.
