"U.S. temperature trends reported by NOAA bear no resemblance to the thermometer data they are derived from."

USHCN Data Tampering

"There is overwhelming evidence of fraud in NOAA and NASA’s handling of climate data," so says researcher Tony Heller.

Government agencies, in their overlording wisdom, deem it necessary to 'adjust' the raw thermometer data.

More than that, at least one-third of USHCN weather stations have been decommissioned, yet the likes of NOAA still use their 'phantom data' in their analysis (see link below).

As meteorologist John Shewchuk writes on X, "by 2020, NOAA was fabricating temperature data for more than 40% of all USHCN stations."

Heller elaborates: "If a USHCN station doesn't report any data during a particular month, NOAA fabricates a temperature using a computer model. They have been losing a lot of stations since 1990, and now almost half their 'final adjusted' data is fake. It doesn't come from a thermometer."

These 'tweakings' work to turn an entirely unalarming trend (a cooling trend since the 1930s) into a warming one, a "disastrous" trend that requires government intervention and a dramatic lowering of living standards across the West:

"U.S. temperature trends reported by NOAA bear no resemblance to the thermometer data they are derived from," continues Heller. "The fake warming trend is then published without any warnings or disclaimers ... [to be] used by journalists, academics and the press."

Tellingly, these fantastical fudgings closely track the increase in carbon dioxide (below graph).

The data are being altered to match the CO2 theory, so it would appear:

Here's another look.

The data is being altered precisely (R² = 0.97) to match global warming theory:

We’re told America is heating uncontrollably, that summers will soon become unbearably hot. However, there is zero indication of this in the raw USHCN data. As per the untouched and dutifully logged readings, 1) the 1930s dust bowl era still rules supreme, and 2) summers (Julys in this instance) have been trending cooler since 1895:

Again, a warming trend only emerges after the station data is passed through NOAA’s tax-payer-funded discombobulation machine, ‘adjustments’ that the agency openly admit to but claim are necessary "to improve data quality":

Lastly, below is the polished summer temperature chart (July-Aug) that NOAA proudly presents to the world (top panel), compared with America’s inconvenient raw temperature station data for the corresponding months (bottom panel):
