Obviously, this data did not come from James Hansen. He would figure out a way to make it look like a temperature increase.

Actually, he did (twice), but he got caught (both times).

First, he made the October 2008 numbers much higher than the actual, by copying the September 2008 readings, for Russia, into the October data.

When that little sleight of hand was detected, he corrected the Russia data, but fudged the Arctic data to compensate, and get about the same global average.

After the second attempt was detected, it seems he gave up trying to manipulate the data (for now).

You mean he's only been caught twice. There's no telling how many times and ways he's fudged the numbers.

I didn’t know of that specific act of data sabotage, although I was aware of the Y2K ‘mistake’ that he made.

we need to not trust what he says or produces at this point. He’s lost all credibility.

cogitator, FYI: Why I dont get impressed by cites of Hansen or those who treat him as an authority. he’s a loose cannon.
