USHCN has taken a nice cooling trend (blue) in Forest, Mississippi and turned it into a healthy warming trend (red) through the magic of adjustment. Older temperatures were reduced by more than three degrees, and recent temperatures have been increased by more than half a degree. Generic explanation.
“If the present refuses to get warmer, then the past must become cooler.”
Dr. Richard Muller at Berkeley just gave the thumbs up to the temperature record – saying it is golden.
An alarming increase in adjustment levels! At this rate there will soon be catastrophic adjustments, more intense and disruptive than the planet can survive in its current unadjusted state.
It’s been a bit windy here this week. When it’s been adjusted it will probably be a hurricane.
Why don’t they just build thermometers with built-in adjustments, so when it says 65 it can be programmed to be either 62 or 68. Since the temp at my house is always 2 degrees colder than the official airport temp. (6 mi. away) than if the TV says it’s 45 then I know it’s 43. NO UHI here.
