CRU Temperature Fraud

The CRU temperature record run by Phil Jones is fraudulent. The case for this is shown clearly below.

In 1922, the US Consul reported a “radical change of climatic conditions in the Arctic” with “unheard of high temperatures.”  “Many old landmarks are so changed as to be unrecognizable.” “Glaciers have … entirely disappeared

In 1923, the glaciers of Glacier National Park in Montana were rapidly disappearing and predicted to be gone by 1950.

In 1975, the National Academy of Sciences generated a graph of Northern Hemisphere land surface temperatures which accurately showed the warmth before 1940, followed by half a degree cooling. This graph made sense based on the behavior of the ice across the Northern Hemisphere and Arctic.

2015-12-14-03-10-56

Here is where the problem comes in. The current CRU graph for Northern Hemisphere land surfaces makes no sense. It shows glaciers melting rapidly during a very cold period, and glaciers growing during a warmer period. The sharp cooling after 1940 has been nearly erased.

The CRU temperatures are nonsense.

The next graph shows how CRU generated their fraudulent graph. They cooled pre-1960 temperatures by about half a degree.

2015-12-14-05-00-15

The CRU fraud is much worse than that, however. Not only did they dramatically cool pre-1960 temperatures, but they dramatically warmed post-1980 temperatures relative to satellite Northern Hemisphere land temperatures (UAH V6) – to create a completely fake hockey stick of warming.

2015-12-14-05-03-58

The 1975 National Academy of Sciences data, combined with the recent satellite data, shows us that there has been little net warming since the 1930’s. The hockey stick is a total fabrication by government scientists. Climategate E-mails confirm that this manipulation of data was the scientists’ intent, and that they intended to cover up their activities..

    I am flabbergasted! Any non-expert can read the stats and see the lies and bad, bad, horribly bad science these ‘experts’ are throwing out….and yet, governments around the world just passed a ‘global’ climate initiative! Well, all I can think to say is…. may G-d bring all the worst climate ever onto the heads only of all such government leaders…very soon, like maybe hail and brimstone!!!! 🙂

    • Bob Webster says:

      Spot-on! “Climate Liars” are emboldened by climate data fraudsters in the UK, Australia, and US climate offices who have been systematically “cooking the books”! The US House has asked government agencies who’ve been altering historic climate records to bring their data and explain what they are doing. No response. And, as Steve Case observed, the news media’s attitude is, “nothing to see here”.

    The people pushing climate change constantly refer to other who disagree with them as “deniers” and “skeptics”, and this language has made its way into the mainstream. Since it has been proven that they have falsified data, why not mainstream the naming of the as “temperature data falsifiers” or “falsifiers” for short?

    Something that has always bothered me is the indiscriminate use of Ice Breakers in the name of Artic research. Submarines have been used for years in artic research and the impact of occasional surfacing through the ice is minimal.

    It’s warmer now in the arctic than during the 1930’s…

  9. wizzum says:

    This Troll cfgjd continually makes statements like the one above with nothing cited, nothing to back it up and no intent other than to stir the pot.
    When someone does post something with a reference refuting him all he does is say that it is not peer reviewed so is meaningless.

    He needs to be ignored.

    • AndyG55 says:

      No, he needs to be shown as an outright LIAR.

      • Bob Webster says:

        “Climate Liar” is a fitting term for cfgjd. Anyone who uses the term “Climate Denier” is a “Climate Liar” — and it’s not “name-calling” if it’s true, it’s observation and Climate Realists have plenty of evidence to support their accurate labeling of Climate Liars.

    • AndyG55 says:

      Many people read this forum but do not comment.

      The LIES and MISINFORMATION of the likes of cfool and the gorebot cannot be allowed to stand uncontested.

    • Frank K. says:

      I agree with wizzum – he/she/it should just be ignored.

      It’s easy to make a statement like “It’s warmer now in the arctic than during the 1930’s…”. And there’s nothing wrong with postulating this as long as you provide some facts to back it up. Are there scientific studies showing the arctic sea ice extent was much larger in the 1930s than today? Or that the ice volume was definitively larger? Or temperatures much colder? Any newspaper articles, or other evidence, to back up the hypothesis?

      But alas, with cfgjd, we see nothing…

    • cfgjd says:

      If it’s not peer-reviewed it’s not part of the scientific literature and cannot even be cited. Stop being crybabies and publish research.

        You haven’t a clue about science – either climate or any other – and even less about how it is conducted in the era of many-to-many communications AKA the Internet.

        You are a classic example of the old adage “Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt”.

  10. Bob Webster says:

    Outstanding article and collection of historic reports, Steven. I’ve posted a link to this for Tuesday’s edition of WEBCommentary.com. And you can bet I’ll use this widely. Climate liars have no evidence to support their position as compelling as this clear refutation of their claims. Trying to support their climate lies by rewriting the climate record cannot succeed even with billions of dollars in government grants. The true record is too extensive and too widely distributed. How convenient it must be to be a government scientist — when data refutes your claims, just change the data! Meanwhile, “the usual suspects” at Scientific American, National Geographic, Nature, and news media will dutifully ignore the clear fraud and trumpet the cause of climate liars.

      To cfgjd:

      (apologies to all for this length)

      “cfgjd”, do you know ANYTHING about natural climate variability beyond a blink of time?

      “The Arctic is warmer than ever before during ____________”

      You fill in the blank with “recorded history”. Are you kidding?

      Let’s fill in the blank with “The Medieval Warm Period” (oops, that’s right, according to Climate Liars, the MWP never happened). But, wait a second, the MWP happened during recorded history. Or has that history not been “peer reviewed” sufficiently?

      Or how about we fill in the blank with “The Holocene Interglacial” (oops, can’t do that, it’s untrue and would expose the lies of Climate Liars).

      Or how about we fill in the blank with one of the prior interglacials of the current ice epoch when temperatures soared to levels higher than anything the Holocene Interglacial has seen. No, can’t do that either because, once again, it exposes Climate Liars.

      Even if it were true that today’s climate has warmed to the levels experienced 80 years ago, (a) that’s meaningless and, (b) how would one explain the rationale that pins today’s warming on human activity and the warming of 80 years ago on something entirely different? You don’t have to answer. We know the answer.

      Your quoted statement is completely meaningless and betrays a gross ignorance of natural climate history and a pathetic reliance on cherry-picking data in a desperate attempt to support a discredited theory that denies natural climate variability.

      Climate Liars are compelled to deny the climate record beyond where their agents can conveniently manipulate data to provide the illusion that the data record supports their climate lies.

      A truly scientific approach to climate change would begin with thoroughly understanding natural climate variability supported by known laws of science governing climate physics.

      There has never been a scientific study that has distinguished the human-component of any climate change during any time period. All Climate Liars have are guesses, assumptions, and preposterous claims. That isn’t science, it’s science-fiction loaded with hubris.

      Are you unaware that Earth’s typical natural climate, when not in an interglacial of an ice age cycle within an ice epoch of an ice era is substantially warmer than anything humans have ever known?

      Are you unaware that during Earth’s typical climate there is NO permanent ice anywhere on the planet at sea level?

      Compared with the climate that has prevailed over the vast portion of the time living organisms have existed, both current climate and ocean temperatures are extremely cold, which fact may well account for the very low atmospheric concentration of CO2 (sequestered away in the oceans for much of the past 60 million years, just waiting to be released when the current ice era comes to an end). Ice eras average 50 million years in length. We’re at, what, 60-65 million years since the current ice era began?

      Climate Liars are in the unenviable position of having to deny both the science governing natural climate variability and Earth’s natural climate history that is dominated by climate whose temperatures are typically vastly higher (10˚ C) than anything humans have ever experienced. That denial is essential in order to fabricate a human-caused-climate-change hoax that makes no physical sense and is refuted by both current observation and Earth’s historic typical climate when not dominated by an ice era.

      So it would appear that the real Climate Deniers are, in fact, the Climate Liars, not the Climate Realists!

    The mass-loss signal given out by Greenland is HUGE and GRACE has no trouble at all seeing it. Same with altimetry and SAR+GMB.

  18. rah says:

    Yes we’ve seen how accurate GRACE actually is. For example this is what Princeton said about the Antarctic ice mass balance in 2014 from a study using ONLY GRACE data:
    http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X15000564
    “Abstract

    While multiple data sources have confirmed that Antarctica is losing ice at an accelerating rate, different measurement techniques estimate the details of its geographically highly variable mass balance with different levels of accuracy, spatio-temporal resolution, and coverage. Some scope remains for methodological improvements using a single data type. In this study we report our progress in increasing the accuracy and spatial resolution of time-variable gravimetry from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE). We determine the geographic pattern of ice mass change in Antarctica between January 2003 and June 2014, accounting for glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA) using the IJ05_R2 model. Expressing the unknown signal in a sparse Slepian basis constructed by optimization to prevent leakage out of the regions of interest, we use robust signal processing and statistical estimation methods. Applying those to the latest time series of monthly GRACE solutions we map Antarctica’s mass loss in space and time as well as can be recovered from satellite gravity alone. Ignoring GIA model uncertainty, over the period 2003–2014, West Antarctica has been losing ice mass at a rate of −121±8 Gt/yr and has experienced large acceleration of ice mass losses along the Amundsen Sea coast of −18±5 Gt/yr2, doubling the mass loss rate in the past six years. The Antarctic Peninsula shows slightly accelerating ice mass loss, with larger accelerated losses in the southern half of the Peninsula. Ice mass gains due to snowfall in Dronning Maud Land have continued to add about half the amount of West Antarctica’s loss back onto the continent over the last decade. We estimate the overall mass losses from Antarctica since January 2003 at −92±10 Gt/yr.”

    But now, two more recent studies contradict that claim:

    https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses

    “A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

    The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.

    According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.”

    http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2015GL065750/abstract?campaign=wlytk-41855.5282060185

    Twentieth century increase in snowfall in coastal West Antarctica
    “Abstract

    The Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass in recent decades; however, long records of snow accumulation are needed to place the recent changes in context. Here we present 300 year records of snow accumulation from two ice cores drilled in Ellsworth Land, West Antarctica. The records show a dramatic increase in snow accumulation during the twentieth century, linked to a deepening of the Amundsen Sea Low (ASL), tropical sea surface temperatures, and large-scale atmospheric circulation. The observed increase in snow accumulation and interannual variability during the late twentieth century is unprecedented in the context of the past 300 years and evidence that the recent deepening of the ASL is part of a longer trend.”

    So much for GRACE being the says all and end all for measuring the loss of gain of mass in ice sheets.

  19. rah says:

    Oh BTW GRACE satellites are at the end of their operational life. Due to be shut down in 2016 with replacements, hopefully far more capable, to be launched in 2017.

    • AndyG55 says:

      The new ones will, of course, initially show LESS ice mass.

      But they won’t be able to “adjust” out the gains over the coming couple of decades.

        As we have seen, it doesn’t really matter what the data is they produce, it’s a matter of who controls that data and what they do to it and with it.

Ice mass gains due to snowfall in Dronning Maud Land have continued to add about half the amount of West Antarctica’s loss back onto the continent over the last decade. We estimate the overall mass losses from Antarctica since January 2003 at −92±10 Gt/yr.”

      But now, two more recent studies contradict that claim:

      https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses

      “A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

      The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.

      According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.”

      Twentieth century increase in snowfall in coastal West Antarctica
      “Abstract

      The Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass in recent decades; however, long records of snow accumulation are needed to place the recent changes in context. Here we present 300 year records of snow accumulation from two ice cores drilled in Ellsworth Land, West Antarctica. The records show a dramatic increase in snow accumulation during the twentieth century, linked to a deepening of the Amundsen Sea Low (ASL), tropical sea surface temperatures, and large-scale atmospheric circulation. The observed increase in snow accumulation and interannual variability during the late twentieth century is unprecedented in the context of the past 300 years and evidence that the recent deepening of the ASL is part of a longer trend.”

      So much for GRACE being the says all and end all for measuring the loss of gain of mass in ice sheets.

    • Ted says:

      Cfgjd you’ve basically written RSS and UAH off as failed missions.

    • dave1billion says:

      Using that paper as a reference and using the author’s conclusion of:

      “We estimate that, between 1992 and 2011, the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets lost 1350 +-1010 and 2700 +-930 Gt of ice, respectively, equivalent to an increase in global mean sea level of 11.2 +- 3.8 mm.”

      … what would be the total sea level rise extrapolated out to a century?

      You’ve testified that you can’t do the math, but the number comes out to an sea level rise over a century of 2.23″ +- .75″, meaning anywhere from:

      1.5 to 3 inches per century.

      Also using the data in the paper you put forth, how long will it take the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets to completely disappear?

      Antarctica = 393,000 years (ignoring the uncertainty, which is HUGE)
      Greenland = 21,100 years (again ignoring the uncertainty)

      More recent PEER REVIEWED AND PUBLISHED studies (so it’s the Gospel truth according to you) have indicated that the Antarctic Ice sheet actually gained mass over the period from 1992-2011 so I am not even granting that the numbers above are accurate. But for the sake of your argument I ran a set of calculations using the conclusions from the paper you put forth.

      I know your go to response on this will be to bring up the apocalyptic (and apocryphal in my opinion) collapse of ice sheets into the ocean that will be caused by the warming ocean water underneath, but if you present a paper as your evidence, you can’t turn around and say it’s meaningless in your next post.

    Nobody has claimed EAIS temperatures have changed. Northern Antarctic Peninsula has warmed up a lot which destroyed some ice-shelves recently. WAIS is losing mass due to marine influences to the big ice streams over there.

    • gator69 says:

      It is not my job to defend the null hypothesis, it is the job of the alarmists to disprove NV.

      And as for the ice shelf, ice melts. Ice has melted for billions of years and we are in an interglacial. If you pull a block of ice out of a freezer and place it in a 60F room it will melt, turn the heat down to 50F and it will still melt.

      Please do me two favors.

      1- List all climate forcings, order them from most to least effectual, and then quantify them all.

      Piers Corbyn makes a commercial living out of his work, because he is so often correct.. …this is something no government funded climate scammer could ever do.

      The climate models predicted warming.. not happening, no warming for 18+ years (except in the data specifically adjusted to try to get within cooee of the models.. even then they fail miserably). In any other industry they would have been laughed out of town and the modellers would be on the dole and un-employable because of their gross incompetence.

          “Thwaites Glacier is one of the West Antarctica’s most prominent, rapidly evolving, and potentially unstable contributors to global sea level rise. Uncertainty in the amount and spatial pattern of geothermal flux and melting beneath this glacier is a major limitation in predicting its future behavior and sea level contribution. In this paper, a combination of radar sounding and subglacial water routing is used to show THAT LARGE AREAS AT THE BASE OF THWAITES GLACIER ARE ACTIVELY MELTING IN RESPONSE TO GEOTHERMAL FLUX CONSISTENT WITH RIFT-ASSOCIATED MAGMA MIGRATION AND VOLCANISM. This supports the hypothesis that heterogeneous geothermal flux and local magmatic processes could be critical factors in determining the future behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. “

          So refutation of natural variability “does not exist”! 😆

        • AndyG55 says:

          can you show how the only tiny LOCALISED place in the Antarctic that has any warming at all just happens to be slap-bang over those volcanic hot spots.

          It seems this is the only place your mythical warm currents have any effect.

          Nowhere else along the Antarctic coastline.. Just where the volcanoes are….

          I guess you will work it out some day… but not today.. obviously

        • AndyG55 says:

          Ahhh.. the mythical warm currents that heat ONLY the part just above the volcanoes.

          And exist despite that ssts dropping markedly over that last several years.

          These currents were so mythical that over the last couple of years the snuck in under the largest Antarctic sea ice extent in recorded history, without melting it. Very clever of them. 😉

        • AndyG55 says:

          And now cfool has to provide measurements that show that the mythical warm current has actually got warmer.

          Come on cfool .. data. ! (not models)

    Just trying to remind the crowd here about established facts…like that the sea-levels are rising and land-ice diminishing. Of course of all datasets produced with public or private money are faked, one might as well divine scientific “facts” from the old testament.

      Land ice has been diminishing since the end of the last glacial period, which causes sea levels to rise. Sea levels have been rising since the end of the last glacial period, about 360 feet (!) in total. The rise rate over the tide gauge period (late 1800s to present) has been relatively constant – human generated CO2 doesn’t seem to have changed the tide gauge measured rate.

    • wizzum says:

      Cfgjd, I don’t think that anyone on this site refutes that sea levels are rising or that some glaciers are retreating. What is very much refuted is that man is responsible for it.
      real honest to goodness facts are tricky too in how they are presented.

      Take “Ocean Acidification” The oceans aren’t getting acidified, they have become less alkaline and as you well know (you seem to know everything else) there is a world of difference between less alkaline and more acidic. It’s like saying water is less frozen at -15 than at -20.
      Saying that a less alkaline solution will dissolve calcium is straight up horse shit but there are many “peer reviewed” papers that claim exactly this.
      Then taking this false fact and extrapolating that all corals are going to disolve when they evolved with Co2 levels having been many many times what they are now during the last 500 million years in more “peer reviewed” bullshit.

    • AndyG55 says:

      Sea levels have been rising at a steady rate since measurements started..

      There is NO ACCELERATION unless you carry out the scientific fraud/incompetency of grafting the new “adjusted” satellite data onto the tide gauge data.

      NOT ONE TIDE GAUGE AROUND THE WORLD SHOWS ANY ACCELERATION.

      That means there is absolutely NO CO2 WARMING SIGNATURE in the sea level trend… NONE WHATSOEVER.

    I’m not claiming anything about the effects of CO2 on environmental change. Just want to point out that large parts of the Arctic are warmer than even in recorded history (and probably longer as Little Ice Age does exist), Greenland, mountain glaciers globally, WAIS+AP as well as arctic sea ice are all losing ice mass. Looks like the planet is warming up, lets see what future brings.

    • gator69 says:

      There is currently more ice in the Arctic than the average of the last 9000 years.

      And you cannot claim that what we are seeing isn’t perfectly natural.

      • wizzum says:

        Gator, you got that for your scrap book: “I’m not claiming anything about the effects of CO2 on environmental change.”

    • AndyG55 says:

      That’s right, just ignore the first 3/4 of the Holocene, when the Arctic was considerably warmer than it is now.
      So you go ahead and concentrate just on a short period of natural variability, as we finish climbing out of the coldest period in the last 10,000 years. We are actually still only just a bit above that cold period, and not as warm as most of the rest of the current interglacial.

      Here’s the guys who actually do the science.. they will tell you… but will you actually learn??
      I very much doubt it… your child-mind does not have the ability to comprehend or learn anything.

    • AndyG55 says:

      And large parts off the Arctic are NOT warmer, except in Gavin’s smeared fabrications.

      Reality is very different.

      2013 and 2014 had the shortest periods above “freezing” of the whole of the DMI record back to 1958

    • AndyG55 says:

      Arctic sea ice is NOT loosing mass.. It has gained rapidly this year.

      Even more rapidly that the change in the AMO would dictate.

      The planet is NOT warming up.. it hasn’t done so this century

      You are always throwing in these little LIES of yours aren’t you……

      That’s because LIES is all you have to work with.

    • AndyG55 says:

      For those interested in real data.. here is the UAH Arctic temps over the last years

      http://s19.postimg.org/sm42pougj/No_Pol2.jpg

      As you can see.. COOLING except for the effect of the 2010 NON-CO2 forced El Nino.

      Its all NATURAL VARIABILITY.. something which cfool has yet to provide one piece of evidence against.
