Rebutting Sorondo: Temperature Adjustments Account for Nearly All “Warming” in Government Climate Data July 25, 2017

Regarding the title, see my previous post.

There are two primary sources of data for the global warming “studies” trotted out several times a year by a media breathless to advance their ideology – those gathered by the US government (NASA and NOAA) and the UK’s Meteorology Office.  The data sets produced by these government bodies are all heavily manipulated – with virtually all the manipulation involving increasing temperatures recorded now, and decreasing those recorded in the past, in order to make supposed warming look greater than it really is.

Until recently, however, it was not known just how much of the warming in these “gold standard” data sets was due to manipulation, and how much was due to actual changes in the environment.  A recent study reveals that virtually all the recent “warming” in the government data is due to manipulation (which correlates with data from orbiting satellites, which data is not subject to manipulation and which has shown virtually no increase, and if anything, a slight cooling of late):

A new study found adjustments made to global surface temperature readings by scientists in recent years “are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”

“Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever – despite current claims of record setting warming,” according to a study published June 27 by two scientists and a veteran statistician.

The peer-reviewed study tried to validate current surface temperature datasets managed by NASA, NOAA and the UK’s Met Office, all of which make adjustments to raw thermometer readings. Skeptics of man-made global warming have criticized the adjustments.

Climate scientists often apply adjustments to surface temperature thermometers to account for “biases” in the data. The new study doesn’t question the adjustments themselves but notes nearly all of them increase the warming trend.

Basically, “cyclical pattern in the earlier reported data has very nearly been ‘adjusted’ out” of temperature readings taken from weather stations, buoys, ships and other sources.

In fact, almost all the surface temperature warming adjustments cool past temperatures and warm more current records, increasing the warming trend, according to the study’s authors.

“Here are your new ‘gods,’ O Israel!  The golden calves of manipulated data and political ideology you shall worship, and you shall have no other gods besides these” proclaimed the high priest of fornication and contraception, Archbishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo.

These outright lies are what this man (among many) holds up as “truth” against the constant belief and practice of the Church, founded by God to be His witness on earth to the Truth He Himself has revealed to us as the Son of Man.

These churchmen seek the praise and acceptance of the world and the abettors of the sexular pagan orthodoxy over the Truth of Jesus Christ.  There have always been men who have fallen into error, for as many reasons as there are errors, the praise and acceptance of the powers of the world always being a leading one. But never have the errors been so outlandish, so contrary to the Faith, and so transparently false (and so unspeakably evil, if one considers the poverty and misery that would envelop the world should the program of the priests of the false temple of climate change ever be enacted).

What is amazing is that, in spite of all this, these errors have won over the vast majority of those given enormous Grace by God and incredible power over souls in the offices of priest, bishop, and even the Chair of Peter.  A contrary and implacably hostile religion has entered into the Church and, in most regions, offices, and souls, successfully supplanted the True Faith.  And what is most amazing of all, is that this happened with – comparatively speaking – almost no resistance whatsoever.  That’s because the purveyors of errors came from within the leadership of the Church, and decades of careful programming had convinced souls that obedience, even to the point of nihilism, was the most vital virtue of all.

Yes, a tiny remnant remains faithful, but that remnant is, at present, of almost no consequence in the day to day life of the Church.  Not that I am discouraged or cynical, just realistic.  In fact, in spite of it all, I’ve always remained hopeful, trusting in Our Blessed Lord’s promise that the gates of hell shall not prevail against His Church.  My hope has, almost inexplicably, increased of late.  These guys only have the power over us we allow them to have.  For me, they may as well not even exist, except as fodder to make particular points.

Unfortunately, these promoters of a hostile religion DO have an impact on the souls of others, leading them into egregious, salvation-threatening errors.  Refuting their errors is a practical duty incumbent on souls with the means to do so.

More evidence of falsehood and manipulation in the climate change shakedown.  As if you needed more.
