If so, then maybe you could do some legwork and help explain to laymen how to interpret these assertions that NOAA is doctoring its data in order to arrive at a predetermined conclusion.
When the East Anglia Climate Research Unit was hacked, the recovered emails pretty much set the standard on how to “fiddle” with the data. Stick different data sets together with no regard to how well they actually conform. Leave inconvenient data sets out, like the “entire Medieval Warming Period” (They tried to claim it was local to Europe!). Actually its no different then what I remember seeing students do when I was a TA. You get “behind” the lab is due, you kind of know what the lab TA wants to see, you know what the desired error needs to be. So “presto Ali-Ka-Zaam!” data “appears” you hand your lab in and crisis averted!
And Truth in Advertising: I admit I did this too a time or two way back when, when time was running out and the lab molecules or signals weren’t cooperating.
And I remembered that when grading those lab reports.(as long as it wasn’t a habit!)
I think we had only 4 elements then - earth, fire, air & water!
