Changing the data to fit the theory to confirm a false conclusion

Are Official US temperature graphs credible? Tony Heller makes another important revelation, an expose of the climate data manipulation being done by NASA and NOAA to serve political, deep state interests, changing the data to fit their theories.

Here is the first example. The left graph shows US temperatures for the past 100 years as originally collected and posted by NOAA. The red line illustrates the trend, a slight but overall downward slide in temperatures. Now look to the right, at the 'adjusted' temperatures. The first fifty years of data have been 'adjusted' sharply downward, reversing the slope of the red line, and 'proving' NOAA's theory that was disproven in the first graph, before they adjusted the data.

So how much is NASA playing with, er, manipulating, okay "adjusting" the data? For the first sixty years of data from the twentieth century, not much. But starting around 1960, it looks more like "NOAA gone wild!"

The United States had long ago the overwhelming share of the weather and temperature stations in the world (see below). There are many parts of the world that lacked stations for many years, And now, even with more stations, NASA will not usual actual data. Rather, they use estimates of the readings.

What about droughts? More or fewer? Take a look at the graphed data, where green is wet and brown is dry.The red line is the smoothed trend and the blue line is the linear trend. The trend is towards more rain, not less. In the last forty years, wet years have outnumbered dry years almost two to one.

Despite all these claims, even the New York Times, in January 1989, ran this story:

Follow the data/science/evidence, not the anecdotes/scientists/politicians.

For even more evidence about deceptive reporting on dry and hot weather, watch this.
