Not only does science show the current temperatures are getting hotter than ever. We now know the past 50 years was colder than we ever thought. With new advanced scientific techniques, we now have a much better idea what the temperature was 50 years ago than they did 50 years ago.

It should be kept in mind, these new temperatures measured now are not breaking records compared to the temperatures measure 50 years ago, but rather to the modified and corrected temperatures of 50 years ago.

Here is a great little collection showing how the temperature records change over time.

That article is not convincing. The X- and Y-axes change in those plots, producing a misleading animation. Also, all plots clearly show warming trends that are accelerating.


I don't understand this. How / why is near-historic data being changed? Got any more material on this?


The data is being "corrected" to "take away errors", this is clearly visible as well as explained by Heller in his many videos on the subject. Another issue is that the measuring network has notably shrunk in size in the last decades with the measurements from locations which have been taken out replaced by interpolated data. Heller claims that "uncorrected" historical data shows that the average temperature in the 30's was higher than it is today and that this is the reason for the "corrections" - simply to make the data fit the narrative. Looking at actual historical data seems to corroborate his claim of the records being "corrected", US state and territory temperature extremes [1] also show a tendency to have the highs somewhere in the 30's (23 states) with 1936 as the hottest year in 13 states. These are "uncorrected" temperature records.

There’s not much to understand— some crank thinks he found the dark secret of climate scientists. His blog is the typical nutter mishmash of mindless conspiracy theories from “putting mRNA In the food supply” (https://realclimatescience.com/2022/01/putting-mrna-in-the-f...) to antivaxxer garbage (https://realclimatescience.com/2022/01/study-shows-covid-vac...) to big pharma conspiracies (https://realclimatescience.com/2022/01/herding-the-sheeple-f...) to all manner of climate conspiracy theories.

He and everything he touches can be safely ignored.
