Yesterday John Hinderaker<\/a> at Power Line<\/a>\u00a0posted an article about the lies being told by scientists pushing the Global Warming<\/a> agenda. I am not a scientific type, so I don’t understand exactly how this works, but even in my nonscientific state, I can understand that inventing numbers in reporting temperatures will change the results. The source of the article at Power Line is an article at wattsupwiththat.com<\/a>, probably the best climate site on the internet.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

This article<\/a>\u00a0at Watts Up With That?<\/a> adds incrementally to that picture. John Goetz<\/a> analyzes the U.S.<\/a> temperature data that finds its way into \u201cofficial\u201d tabulations. This is particularly important because, while the U.S. represents only 6.6% of the total land area of Earth<\/a>, we account for close to half of the data relied on by the Global Historical Climatology Network<\/a>. This is a big topic, and you should study the Goetz article in its entirety if you have time. I am still digesting it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But a few highlights are obvious. First, Goetz finds that approximately 92% (or even more, depending on how you calculate it) of US surface temperature<\/a> data consists of estimated or altered values. Very little raw data<\/a> finds its way into the warmists\u2019 climate models\u2013which, of course, is the way they want it. Second, the adjustments that are made to the U.S. data consistently skew the numbers as we have described many times before\u2013they try to make the present look warmer, compared with the past.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s all about the money.<\/p>\n

The article at Power Line reports:<\/p>\n

Why do the alarmists, lavishly funded by the world\u2019s governments, persistently alter the data before they feed it into their computer programs? Because the raw data won\u2019t get them where they are trying to go, to keep the money flowing. This is what you see if you just plot the temperatures that were recorded on thermometers here in the U.S. No warming:<\/strong><\/p>\n
