In 2011, Katherine Hayhoe told the Guardian this :
winter temperatures are increasing in nearly every station we look at across Texas

This was blatant fraud on her part. At the time she said it, even NCDC showed that she was lying. I made this screen capture on the day that Guardian article was published, which showed Texas winter temperatures cooling slightly since 1895, and sharply since 1998.
So I went back to the NCDC web site and made a new graph, and was astonished by what I saw. They now show a winter warming trend since 1895
The animation below shows how NCDC has tampered with the temperature data, just since 2011. Mind blowing, and confirms what Roy Spencer recently reported.
This image overlays the two NCDC graphs, and shows how they have progressively cooled the past since 2011
So what does the real data show? Texas winter temperatures have cooled sharply over the last century.
Hayhoe’s claim has absolutely no basis. There is no way that she could have come to this conclusion with any sort of legitimate analysis. The average trend of a group of warming stations is not going to show cooling.
winter temperatures are increasing in nearly every station we look at across Texas
The closest HCN station to Lubbock, where Hayhoe lives, shows winter temperatures plummeting since 1998, with 2010 being one of the ten coldest winters on record. 1907 was their warmest winter on record.
She is defrauding the public. Texas winters are not getting warmer, and have been experiencing near record snow in recent years.
