Facts don’t matter-—their ends justify their means——which means “if the facts don’t fit the narrative then double down on lying”.
“double down on lying”
Yes, this.
Some of the lying that has been done in non arctic/antarctic regions is that development around historic measurement points is affected by said development.
However, since no development occurs in Antarctic measurement points, this would be data that is consistent over time, so one could easily conclude if the most pristine measurements show no increase, maybe there is no increase in temperatures over time.
Therefore this data must be hidden, because it exposes lies.
