NASA adjusts global temperature graph again

Last week I showed how NASA overstated 1975-2020 warming … https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353165819. Here’s another manipulation. In 2021 NASA lowered the 2016 global average temperature, previously the highest on record, to make 2020 seem the hottest.

Below are copies of NASA’s 1880-2020 global temperature chart ‘before & after’ the subtle adjustment.

How’s this for disingenuity bordering on dishonesty? … NASA statement 6 months ago, 14th Jan 2021 …https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/147794/2020-tied-for-warmest-year-on-record

‘the globally averaged temperature in 2020 … was slightly warmer than 2016

The last seven years have been the warmest … on record 1, typifying the ongoing and dramatic warming trend,” said GISS Director Gavin Schmidt2 … “… as the human impact on the climate increases, we have to expect that records will continue to be broken.”

The article did not mention the altered 2016 data-point; or the 2016 highest monthly temperature on record (red circle above).

In fact overall cooling since Feb 2016 (blue arrow) continues today. 1 i.e. since 1880 2

See his 2013 awkward non-discussion:-

Which newspaper was among the first to trumpet NASA’s announcement, on the same day, 14th Jan 2021?

Yes, left-wing ultra-alarmist The Guardian … “2020 was hottest year on record by narrow margin, Nasa says”.

    If there’s anything I’ve learned in this world, regarding “information”…it’s that there’s a constant. That constant is the fact that history is always changing.

    Academic climate fraudsters know they can say whatever lies they want with impunity.

    If we have manmade GW how come the glaciers melted 10,000 years ago? How come there was farming in Greenland several hundred years ago and none now? How come there are heat records that still stand from the 1930’s? 1960? What about the global cooling that occurred in the 1970’s? Liars all. Like all global hoaxes it is about control, NOT science. Just like the ozone “hole”. How do we “follow the science” when it is always changing and has become politicized?

      Very good points Mr Pepper, and arguments I use myself.

    NASA is controlled by gates, the imperial know-it-all science freak. I go by what is happening on the home front and this is another summer where it is barely able to keep up with the averages. The thunderstorms are rather wimpy and 90 degrees days are well below normal.
