More yet
Researcher: NASA hiding climate data
Still more data "corrections" to salvage Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory by making the warm temperatures of the 1930's disappear. By the catechism of AGW theology, the 1930s were cooler than today, not warmer like temperature records inconveniently show. So those temperature records have to be "corrected." Otherwise, it might look like temperature varies in natural cycles with causes other than human activity, and that, dammit, would just spoil everything.
In science, theory gets revised to fit the data. The AGW crowd likes to do it the other way around, which is how you can tell that what they're doing is not science.
Still to receive much notice are coming revelations about the placement of the temperature recording stations themselves, which gather the data to begin with. A large majority of those turn out to have been improperly placed in heat-island sites (extreme example: next to an air conditioner exhaust vent) that are guaranteed to show unrepresentative elevated temperatures. Stay tuned.
(Blinded by science: Should anyone be interested in the issues of measurement error and data aggregation in the context of absurd claims of precision by CRU and others, take a look here. The entire AGW enterprise appears to be a bottomless can of worms, hidden behind misleading "executive summaries" peddled by IPCC to politicians, environmental activists, and other non-scientists.)
