Via Noel Sheppard, the guys who exposed the big data bug in the NASA temperature calculations last week have now responded to the global warming believers who naturally downplayed the error and dismissed it as irrelevant to GW trends. No commentary here from me; just follow the drill from the last post and read Steve McIntyre’s and Warren Meyer’s posts slowly and carefully. The bullet points version of McIntyre to guide you as you go: 1. NASA and James Hansen have allegedly shown an astonishing amount of bad faith in protecting their bogus numbers. Last week’s posts noted how secretive Hansen has been in hoarding the algorithm he uses to make temperature adjustments, but most of McIntyre’s wrath this time is reserved for NASA, which pointedly declined to mention prominently that it had revised its own data lest it attract any unwelcome public attention. 2. While the revisions to U.S. data didn’t have an affect on global averages, they did obviously have a “significant” effect on U.S. averages while pointing up potential errors in data collection worldwide. Specifically, according to McIntyre, not only are certain U.S. temperature measurement stations that are thought to be unreliable being “adjusted” by algorithm, even stations not thought to be unreliable may be undergoing adjustment.

Don’t look for this to get any MSM coverage.
If NASA was this far off with their numbers, the Apollo missions would have ended up on Saturn.
It’s not that so much as the corrected numbers are only slightly different from the fake numbers that Kyoto was based on and that is not enough to call Kyoto back into session to make the correction to their political agendum. The trend they saw in the fake numbers was only barely detectable in the first place.
We are not dealing with the same organization that achieved that goal by a long shot.
IIRC, NASA had at least one really big boo-boo when one of the Mars exploration satellites went into space with the wrong set of flight parameters (someone used English units instead of metric or vice versa - Duh!).
Is that true?
Thats almost funny if it wasn’t so expensive!
Steve McIntyre, who was the one who discovered the error (and also the one who figured out the fake hockey-stick and who’s blog Climate Audit is now down because the warmers hit the site with massive “denial of service” attacks right after the error came to light ...)
... has posted more about the whole issue at the link below. It turns out James Hansen has cooked the books for the US by a truly whopping 0.6C. Hmmm!
This little 0.15C error is nothing compared to the 0.5C Hansen had changed the data otherwise.

A litany of errors and problems led to the loss of the $125 million spacecraft on Sept. 23, a loss that has complicated an upcoming Mars landing mission, the report says. The report was released Wednesday during a press conference at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
NASA didn’t have political activists like this guy working for them back then too.
I think in the end we will learn this guy cooked the data.
What needs pointing out is that adjustments are a theoretical construct and, as such, must be justified and validated by evidence.
It’s a religion, and GW is one of the dogmas. Don’t expect them to tell the truth on that.
So the AGW guys have not publically released the “temperature adjustment algorithms” they use to calculate global mean temperatures - and algorithm important enough to either make the 1990s and 2000s the hottest decades in the past century, or to make the 1930s the hottest decade on the past century.
By definition, what they were doing was not science. The scientific method requires open, peer reviewed experimental design and results, thus allowing for validation or falsification by competing and/or complementary experimentation.

It’s not how big is the problem; it is how big is the con? And, so far, the global warming con is the biggest and best of the new century! Running a close second in it’s wake is the ‘carbon offset’ scam. lol
Sorry, I don’t see the relevance. Just dumb I guess.
