More B$ from Gore and his gang.
Lowering temperatures in past decades causes a steep rise in the graphs (look, it’s so much warmer now, it’s global warming!). This is now standard operating procedure folks.
For your ping lists.
At the rate that they keep lowering the average global temperatures of the past, by 2025 WWI will have been fought during a previously unkown and unrecorded Ice Age.
This reminds me of a joke.
A painter took on a job where a woman wanted him to paint her great room the color of a small paint chip she presented to him. He mixed the colors and compared again and again and again until he had the perfect color. He then spent a week painting the room and when it was finished, called in the woman to check his work. She compared the chip and said, “Nope, it is not the exact color. Do it again.” So the painter mixed and mixed and mixed colors until he had the exact shade and spent the next week painting the cavernous room. He called her into the room and she again compared the chip to the wall color and said, “This is still not the right color-” at which time the phone rang and she left to answer it. He was recounting the story to his friend and told him how when the woman came back from her phone call, said, “Well, it IS the exact color” and paid him for his work.
The friend asked, “Did the person on the other end of the call convice her that it was the right color?” The painter said, “No, when she left the room, I painted the chip.”
The NOAA is painting the chip.

UPDATE: Here’s a graph showing cumulative adjustments to the USHCN subset of the entire US COOP surface temperature network done by Zeke Hausfather and posted recently on Lucia’s Blackboard:
This is calculated by taking USHCN adjusted temperature data and subtracting USHCN raw temperature data on a yearly basis. The TOBS adjustment is the lion’s share.
