Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded. This has surprised no one more than Traust Jonsson, who was long in charge of climate research for the Iceland met office (and with whom Homewood has been in touch). Jonsson was amazed to see how the new version completely “disappears” Iceland’s “sea ice years” around 1970, when a period of extreme cooling almost devastated his country’s economy.

I, too, have friends and family completely duped by the global warming religionists. The above should be devastating to them, but some are so invested in the notion that I'm not sure anything could change their minds. I agree that dumping garbage in the river will pollute the river. I agree that we want that stopped. I also agree that dumping junk in our atmosphere should be held to a minimum, that any good steward would attempt to be as clean as possible.

However, the earth is huge, CO2 is the feed for the photosynthesis of plant life that produces oxygen, and to assume that co2 is the same as dumping oil or mercury in a waterway is simply a false parallel.

Do I think they'll hear any of this? Something will get through eventually. Maybe someone getting caught falsifying data will get through.
