Of course jerm isn't really a good Christian at all. Christians don't knowingly lie. If there is a hell....
Oh I'm sure if you look you can find it.
You DO know what google is right?
But what you see may cause you cognitive dissonance so you will probably not look.
Yet, according to the USHCN dataset, all ten months from March to December are âEstimatedâ. Why, when there is full data available?
But it gets worse. The table below compares the actual station data with what USHCN describe as âthe bias-adjusted temperatureâ. The results are shocking.
In other words, the adjustments have added an astonishing 1.35C to the annual temperature for 2013. Note also that I have included the same figures for 1934, which show that the adjustment has reduced temperatures that year by 0.91C. So, the net effect of the adjustments between 1934 and 2013 has been to add 2.26C of warming.
Note as well, that the largest adjustments are for the estimated months of March â December. This is something that Steve Goddard has been emphasising.
It is plain that these adjustments made are not justifiable in any way. It is also clear that the number of âEstimatedâ measurements made are not justified either, as the real data is there, present and correct.
I infer from this that there seems to be a real problem with the USHCN data set, or at least with some of the stations. Maybe it is a tempest in a teacup, but it looks like something that requires NOAAâs attention. As far as I can tell, NOAA has not responded to Goddardâs allegations. Now, with Homewoodâs explanation/clarification, NOAA really needs to respond.
Thanks for the Google idea.
The below link has an article by Judith Curry. It has links to everything you could ever want to know about the data tampering including articles that argue against Goddard's analysis.
But, it is much worse than I thought it was. Are you aware that the USHCN data set includes estimates when they have real numbers but did not include them?
It is much worse than you think if the information is correct in the article.
Correction: Below is a quote from an email written by Paul Homewood received by Judith Curry.
According to him he has verified it.

ADD: Below is a link to the article by Paul Homewood that after a cursory review looks like he has posted all of the data.

Judith Curry? LOL
While Judith Curry supports the scientific opinion on climate change,[12] she has argued that climatologists should be more accommodating of those skeptical of the scientific consensus on climate change.[12]
Favourite climate myths by Judith Curry
Below are many of the climate myths used by Judith Curry plus how often each myth has been used.
Climate myths by Curry What the Science Says Usage
"Global warming stopped in 1998, 1995, 2002, 2007, 2010, ????"
Global temperature is still rising and 2010 was the hottest recorded.
"Scientists tried to 'hide the decline' in global temperature"
The 'decline' refers to a decline in northern tree-rings, not global temperature, and is openly discussed in papers and the IPCC reports.
"IPCC is alarmist"
Numerous papers have documented how IPCC predictions are more likely to underestimate the climate response.
"There is no consensus"
97% of climate experts agree humans are causing global warming.
Who are you idiots going to dredge up next? Bozo ? Salby? LOL
Skeptical Science is a climate alarmist website created by a self-employed cartoonist, John Cook (who apparently pretends to be a Nazi). It is moderated by zealots who ruthlessly censor any and all form of dissent from their alarmist position. This way they can pretend to win arguments, when in reality they have all been refuted. The abuse and censorship does not pertain to simply any dissenting commentator there but to highly credentialed and respected climate scientists as well; Dr. Pielke Sr. has unsuccessfully attempted to engage in discussions there only to be childishly taunted and censored, while Dr. Michaels has been dishonestly quoted and smeared. The irony of the site's oxymoronic name "Skeptical Science" is that the site is not skeptical of even the most extreme alarmist positions.Probably the best single source for the science of global warming is Skeptical Science. Skeptical Science is maintained by John Cook.
"Cook is trained as a solar physicist and says he is motivated by his Christian beliefs.[19] He is one of a number of Christians publicly arguing for scientific findings on anthropogenic global warming, and is an evangelical Christian.[20]"
