I have posted this graph dozens of times, and hopefully this time it will be clear to everyone. The graph shows the average final temperature for all USHCN stations minus the average raw temperature for all USHCN stations. This is a very simple calculation which shows the average adjustment for all USHCN stations.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to NOAA or anybody else that an exponential increase in adjustments is occurring, as I have been showing the same graph (crying wolf) for many years.
I am just finding it so hard to believe that it has taken some people so stinking long to get this. I have seen you post this very thing for a very long time. Was I the only one that got it?
You are not alone. It was these adjustments that cemented my understanding of the scale of this fraud. I knew CO2 was not warming the planet from the start, what I did not know was that the recent warming was an artifact.
Never been convinced about CO2 either, why would there be a single control knob.
Free the Cee Oh Two!!
I saw that a long time ago, when I looked at what NWS was doing to regional airport data, they were adding lines of positive slope of temp vs time that could not possibly be true
The hoola-hoop/AGW fad did not catch on just last February, for sure

Very True!!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Keep it up mate!
Tick, tock, tick tock . . . Time is running out for the Great Scam and the the Great Scammers. Time to end some careers in university and government land.
Reblogged this on ScottishSceptic and commented:
Can someone please explain to me how this graph hasn’t caused those involved to be hauled up in court to explain themselves?
Because you can’t haul the government into court.
To be honest I look at this and keep thinking: “am I missing something obvious”. I understand Watts has been criticising your work. I cannot think of any reason why this is not a thoroughly good analysis.
The only reason I can imagine for large scale changes to data would be urban heating, but that would require modern temperatures to be cooled relative to the past not warmed.
It looks completely utterly incredible. (So I’ve blogged it)
What is Watts talking about?
I think he got out of bed on the wrong side one morning
Who cares what one TV weatherman thinks?
I do. It gives the wrong people the wrong reason to gloat
I’ve been looking at these posts and comments for at least a couple of years and have constantly wondered why there has been little traction on the issues presented – especially at the other “mainstream” skeptic sites. I was very disappointed, to say the least, to learn of Anthony Watts’ “backstabbing” and “banning” as well as Jo Nova’s “banning”. Is Anthony at WUWT going to issue a “clarification” post on the whole matter – if not an outright retraction/apology ???
WUWT ???
I have seen this graph here many times. I agree with it totally and fail to see how the “big league” skeptics fail to understand it.
Can it be that when the title of the graph says “USHCN Final Minus Raw Temperature” that some people don’t understand that gives us the “fudge factor” added on or subtracted off. After all Steve, we are dealing with people “educated” in government schools. Perhaps you should add “It is the fudge factor!” to the bottom of it. 🙂
Scottish Skeptic: I believe/seems like that WUWT(and Judith Curry) are mainly in agreement with SG at this time. It seesms as well the most of the comments at Lucias site are as well.
Steven I will admit, station data is something I’ve ignored.
However, I’ve been looking at this and I would like to ask some very frank questions:
1. Is there a simple one-to-one correspondence between each station in the raw data set and the final.
2. If I look at your data sets. Can I pick each station in the raw data and identify the corresponding station in the final data set
3. Are there exactly the same number of stations for each time period in the raw as final
There is a one to one correspondence, and 40% of the final station data is fabricated for stations which have no raw data.
Pillage & Rape Before you Burn. Don’t eat your own. Too many bridges have been burned! I really wish those simple rules would be learned elsewhere.
STEVE, you continue and perceiver in spite of all the crap that is shoveled in front of you. Kinda think that you don’t give a Rats @@@ and just rest knowing you put it all out there and let the cards fall as they may is satisfaction enough. -Paul
Paul,
I’ve worked on several very high profile billion dollar projects. I learned a long time ago that you can’t pay attention to people who are wrong. It is catastrophic to do so, and the only way that the project succeeds is to stick to your guns and insist that everybody does the right thing.
