Since they are subbing real temp data after 1960, isn’t this fraud?

Many real-temp data after 1960 are crap anyway, due to the urban heat-island effect. Temperature stations in non-rural areas tend to be near asphalt parking lots, A/C exhausts, and other sources of heat that can only skew the temps upwards. The measurement errors are often greater than the alleged "human-caused temperature increases".

See for example

No, what I am saying is he said the CRU data matched the observations in the 20th century.

Welllllll, from 1960 on, it didn’t because he compared temperature readings to temperature readings. Of course it would match.

When he made his statement in the report, he just said the CRU data agreed but never told anyone that from 1960 on that he was using the temperature data.

I think that makes it a lie.
