[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 726802"] In case nobody has gone out and googled about NOAA retroactively changing their historical temperature data, here are some links: [URL]https://climatecenter.fsu.edu/does-noaa-adjust-historical-climate-data[/URL] And here is a nice picture (from that link) about what the changes to the temperature record looked like when they changed all their historical temperature data in 2015. The 2015 change (they've done this a few times) served to decrease all the old temperatures and increase them in recent history, changing the slope of average temperatures over time. [IMG]https://climatecenter.fsu.edu/images/news/20140701-noaa-data-big.png[/IMG] As scientists, we all know that instruments drift, need to be recalibrated...the environment changes around them (eg one weather station now has a huge set of parking lots around it that weren't there 20 years ago and they radiate a lot of heat), and so on. But the notion that you'd go back and change your official temperatures back 10, 20, 100 years is really obscene. [/QUOTE]
