The Science and Public Policy Institute, in compiling its global-temperature graphs for the authoritative Monthly CO2 Reports, had originally relied upon all four of the major datasets.
We were compelled to drop the NASA GISS/NOAA NCDC dataset when it became apparent that the data from more than half a century ago were being deliberately manipulated in an improper manner with the manifest intention of artificially inflating the true rate of observed warming in the 20th century.
We must now also cease to use the Hadley/CRU dataset, which on the evidence made public by the courageous whistleblower at the University of East Anglia is little better than science fiction.
I just wish I were a little more computer literate. Thanks again!
