MESSING WITH TEXAS: YET MORE TEMPERATURE TAMPERING

[Geee]

Brietbart:

For over a century averaged temperatures in Texas have shown a steady decline during the first few months of the year. That was at least until recently when the historical data was “adjusted” to show warming instead.

 

Climate sceptic and blogger Steve Goddard shows how during the January-March period, post-hoc adjustments have been made to the existing data set, making clear upwards alterations from the middle of the last century onwards.

 

graphThis is a common occurrence with climate datasets, as reported here on Breitbart previously. In theory, such alterations are justified by temperature recording station moves, upgrades and environmental factors (including new human constructions nearby). Such adjustments should even themselves out between hotter and colder changes over the longer term. In practice, however, the trend usually seems to be ineluctably – and conveniently – upwards.
