Evaluating The Integrity Of Official Climate Records
For all those that are skeptical of the adjustments to USHCN, did you read Menne et al 2009, Karl et al 1986/7/8 or Vose et al 2003 (full papers available for free online) prior to forming your opinion? You may treat this question literally or rhetorically. I’m also not insinuating that you...- rconnor

I’d also like to return to your response 29 Jul 16 00:39. My response to it didn’t do it justice, so I’ll be more thorough. Heller/Goddard’s concluding slide states, “"climate data is being manipulated to increase climate alarm". Half of his presentation is on global temperature data sets...- rconnor

You asked “how can 60 year old data get changed?”. I answered - TOB. You waved your hands and said “but how come no one noticed it before!”. So I provided this illustration to help you understand that sometimes TOB might not be apparent until you review the data closer and compare against...- rconnor

I asked you, "do you feel that temperature data was manipulated to fake warming globally?" You responded with, "WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO and form your next question based on what he said, not what you want him to have said." So I did. He starts by talking about USHCN (which I've addressed in...- rconnor

zdas04, Let’s return to my example. This time I will show you graphically, using simulated data, the impact of changing my observation times from the PM to the AM. For the first 50 points, I take my measurement in the afternoon. On point 51, I start taking my measurement in the morning. Here...- rconnor

And I wasn't asking Tony Heller/Steve Goddard for his answer, I was asking you. You've said that the purpose of you posting the video was to illustrate the "manipulation" of data. You said the "manipulation" was always in "the same direction". I can assume you insinuated in the warming...- rconnor

Evaluating The Integrity Of Official Climate Records
60 years ago I measure temperature in the afternoon and store that number in the database. At the time that number is correct. At some point I start measuring temperature in morning and store that number in the database. Neither my old (PM) data or my new (AM) data is wrong but now comparisons...- rconnor

Zdas04, do you believe temperature data was manipulated to fake the warming globally? If yes, everything I've written is applicable. If not, then could you please clarify your position. Also, providing something to supprt your hand waving might be helpful. Your last paragraph is just random...- rconnor

On a micro-level (single station moves, for example) the corrections go up and down. So overall corrections are minimal and have no observable trend. However, for systematic changes (such as going from buckets to ship hulls to buoys or going from PM readings to AM readings) the corrections will...- rconnor

Zdas04, How about you read the article I linked (here again). It explains, in detail and with supporting evidence, the chart. Or how about you address the simple mass balance reasoning. Better yet, how about we return to the subject at hand – temperature data sets. Zdas04, and the video he...- rconnor

Of course they didn’t but they also weren’t caused by MAGIC! Past spikes in CO2 were usually massive volcanic action or bolide impacts. Orbital cycles can impact CO2 concentrations as well but that process takes thousands of year. So what does you point say about the recent change in CO2...- rconnor

Seaggie, That’s a completely different topic and has already discussed. Search the last thread for where I talk about the argument “it’s natural” or “it’s changed before” (at 11 Jul 16 17:31, 12 Jul 16 15:48). Claiming purposeful data manipulation to suite a specific narrative is a very...- rconnor

Davefitz, Again, off-topic but I suppose this is an attempt to disprove my statements made to FoxRox, which it does not. So obviously some clarification is needed. The research does not validate Svensmark’s hypothesis – the research says that GCRs appear to impact clouds but it does not even...- rconnor

zdas04, (NOTE: When I wrote this I assumed you were talking about global temperatures, which would be relevant. After reading IRstuff’s response, it sounds like you might be talking about US data only, which is only 2% of the surface of the planet. If you want to claim global warming is fake...- rconnor

No, I was not implying the money was in the form of paychecks (or going into his pocket); it was funding for research. If I was implying that the money went into his pocket I would have said "he was paid...". My point was that there is lots of money available for a small set of contrarians and...- rconnor

snarkysparky (and zdas04), You can also have a look at Clear Code Project which attempted to recreate GISTEMP code from scratch in Python. This isn't a review of the methods (as they are trying to emulate the GISTEMP analysis methods) but it does check that there is no "black box" fudging going...- rconnor

Maui, I completely agree peer-review is not perfect but that’s a far cry from supporting the level of corruption that zdas04 is purporting. Furthermore, I’d argue that the level of scrutiny applied to climate science papers by the skeptic community is much more than anything seen in other...- rconnor

You encouraged us to watch video that accuses the international scientific community with scientific misconduct, data manipulation and something between incompetence (at best) or purposeful fraud. You have made several comments echoing this sentiment. You’ve also insinuated that the motivation...- rconnor

zdas04, it's pretty simple, if you think the warming is all made up, then you must also assume that ice data is all made up, ocean heat content data is all made up, sea level data is all made up, glacial data is all made up, etc., because they all, independently, indicate a warming planet (the...- rconnor

Tony Heller/Steve Goddard might be right, NASA (…and NOAA…and MET Office…and JAXA…and an independent group of skeptics who specifically designed a data set to correct the “errors” of the other data sets, BEST) might be purposefully (and independently) fudging surface temperature data to show...- rconnor
