American Thinker is running a series of daily graphs showing how the AGW folks “adjusted” the raw station temperature data. Oddly enough, those adjustments all seem to change data showing one thing into data showing another thing altogether!The graph at right is their graph for yesterday. It shows the raw data (in blue) and “adjusted&rddquo; data (in red) for Kremsmuenster, Austria.
Just by eyeballing it, you can see that the raw data shows little if any trend in any direction, while the adjusted data shows a clear warming trend.
As many observers have noted, if you take all the raw data that independent analysts have been able to obtain, there is no clear trend in it. The trend emerges only after these sorts of adjustments have been applied. It's as though you weighed yourself every morning for 10 years, plotted the resulting data, saw that there was no declining weight pattern – so then you go back and “adjust” the data to show that you had a higher weight in the past. Now you can claim that your weight is going down!
