I have replicated the process and independently verified and validated Heller’s assertion that the HADCRUT4 data posted in 2013 has been altered. The 2015 version of the data demonstrates statistically significant higher temperatures for the period 1998 – 2013.
This begs the questions:
1. Why wasn’t the 2013 version of the data correct in the first place?
2. Why change the pre-2013 data?
3. If the HADCRU process is so capricious and the data so unsettled, why give any credibility to the 2015 version, if it is subject to change?The data are quite unsettled. And the lack of scientific rigor is quite unsettling.
I am headed to the UK this week, so I thought I would check out what sort of fraud Phil Jones has been up to get rid of the hiatus.
The graph below shows the hockey stick of data tampering that Phil has done to get rid of the hiatus since 2013
