 When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 
years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official 
temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were 
systematically “adjusted” to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the 
actual data justified.

 Two weeks ago, under the headline “How we are being tricked by flawed data on 
global warming”, I wrote about Paul Homewood, who, on his 
Notalotofpeopleknowthat blog, had checked the published temperature graphs for 
three weather stations in Paraguay against the temperatures that had originally 
been recorded. In each instance, the actual trend of 60 years of data had been 
dramatically reversed, so that a cooling trend was changed to one that showed a 
marked warming.

 This was only the latest of many examples of a practice long recognised by 
expert observers around the world – one that raises an ever larger question 
mark over the entire official surface-temperature record.

 Following my last article, Homewood checked a swathe of other South American 
weather stations around the original three. In each case he found the same 
suspicious one-way “adjustments”. First these were made by the US government’s 
Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN). They were then amplified by two of 
the main official surface records, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies 
(Giss) and the National Climate Data Center (NCDC), which use the warming 
trends to estimate temperatures across the vast regions of the Earth where no 
measurements are taken. Yet these are the very records on which scientists and 
politicians rely for their belief in “global warming”.

 Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of 
the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees 
E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, 
to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data 
that was actually recorded. This has surprised no one more than Traust Jonsson, 
who was long in charge of climate research for the Iceland met office (and with 
whom Homewood has been in touch). Jonsson was amazed to see how the new version 
completely “disappears” Iceland’s “sea ice years” around 1970, when a period of 
extreme cooling almost devastated his country’s economy.

 One of the first examples of these “adjustments” was exposed in 2007 by the 
statistician Steve McIntyre, when he discovered a paper published in 1987 by 
James Hansen, the scientist (later turned fanatical climate activist) who for 
many years ran Giss. Hansen’s original graph showed temperatures in the Arctic 
as having been much higher around 1940 than at any time since. But as Homewood 
reveals in his blog post, “Temperature adjustments transform Arctic history”, 
Giss has turned this upside down. Arctic temperatures from that time have been 
lowered so much that that they are now dwarfed by those of the past 20 years.
 Homewood’s interest in the Arctic is partly because the “vanishing” of its 
polar ice (and the polar bears) has become such a poster-child for those trying 
to persuade us that we are threatened by runaway warming. But he chose that 
particular stretch of the Arctic because it is where ice is affected by warmer 
water brought in by cyclical shifts in a major Atlantic current – this last 
peaked at just the time 75 years ago when Arctic ice retreated even further 
than it has done recently. The ice-melt is not caused by rising global 
temperatures at all.
 Of much more serious significance, however, is the way this wholesale 
manipulation of the official temperature record – for reasons GHCN and Giss 
have never plausibly explained – has become the real elephant in the room of 
the greatest and most costly scare the world has known. This really does begin 
to look like one of the greatest scientific scandals of all time.
