Austrian Media doing its job.

There are three things in this world. Lie, damned lies, and statistics!

WUWT has the story, too.

The data charted show not a slight shift but a LARGE correction made to the raw data around the yeat 1979... what changed then?

[B212]

the measurement of climate variables, didn't start until the advent of commercial aviation, and the need to provide aircrew with accurate weather conditions....so, without looking up the dates, I will use 1935 as year one, the beginning of aviation weather observation...then came WWII and the aircrew training airfields across the country, again weather recording was extensive...so it comes down to 79 to 80 years of weather records...prior to the aviation requirements, weather stations were locate at the city water pump plant, simply because the sites were manned 24 hrs and the operator could record the observations....

Thanks for the link!

Management I guess!

I’m lucky - born in Germany, I understand Austrian AND Australian; and we haven’t had a really hot summer since 1998.

Oh Rats so I did misspell....sorry.

GW's real, folks, just a pause in action. Koch brothers are holding the high temps "hostage"

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

[ErnBatavia]

You’re in superfine company, given the fact that Zer0 made that same mistake...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

LOL!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Gee,....what an Honor.

I wish I had a ridiculously high-paying job where I could just make up sh*t. If I were to “homogenize” data I would be unemployed.

[Fred Nerks]

I thought you were being funny...you could have got away with it if you hadn’t said sorry.
Your POTUS doesn’t speak Austrian either.

btw, I’ve not met any adults in my travels through Oz who take this Globull Warming seriously, but there are a lot of primary school children who have been frightened out of their wits, being told that the runaway greenhouse effect will cause more bushfires and the planet will ultimately burn to a crisp.
It’s nothing but child abuse imo. But that never bothered the left, the means are always justified by the ends...in fifty or a hundred years, when the ‘forecasters’ won’t be here to answer for their lies and shenanigans. The lenghts the socialists will go to to create another tax are astounding in their creativity and untruth.
Buying votes gets more difficult and expensive as time passes.

If anyone cares to remember I did that analysis some four years ago. Back when the raw data could still be had over the web. Data has gone. I never thought that BoM would be so crooked as to cook data and then delete the real stuff. The images are still here.

Gee,....what an Honor.

When he's out of office and moved to Wiki-wikiville, he'll probably register with JimRob as Zer0_at_the_Beach.....
