We have written a number of times about how government agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration here in the U.S., have systematically adjusted temperature history to make the past look colder. They apparently do this, usually surreptitiously and without explanation, in order to stoke global warming hysteria. See, for example, He Who Controls the Present Controls the Past and Inside the Global Warming Scandal.
Now Mike Brakey, an engineering physicist and heat transfer specialist, has caught NOAA revising historic temperature data for Maine–as always, to make the past look cooler and the present warmer by comparison:
Over the last months I have discovered that between 2013 and 2015 some government bureaucrats have rewritten Maine climate history… (and New England’s and of the U.S.). This statement is not based on my opinion, but on facts drawn from NOAA 2013 climate data vs. NOAA 2015 climate data after they re-wrote it.
We need only compare the data. . . .
Yep, that's pretty suspicious looking, turning a basically flat record into a 2+ F temperature rise since 1900. Now there could be legitimate reasons for adjusting data that way. For example, older data may be daily maximums and minimums, while newer data is continuous, with a daily average. I don't know if that's what's being "corrected" here, but if it is, they damn well owe it to users of the data (that's us, the public), to make it clear just how they adjusted it, why they adjusted it, and the level of certainty of involved in the correction. To make these correction in the dead of night, without comment smacks of a conspiracy to make it look like the record is being rejiggered to show greater warming.
