A Modest Proposal on how the Trump Administration can solve the Global Warming problem

All they have to do is forbid the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from publishing temperature data that has been changed from the original value recorded on the date of recording.

That's it.  Overnight, five sixths of the reported warming in the US over the twentieth century will simply disappear.

Of course, the Usual Suspects will scream and holler about this, but that will simply focus more attention on the subject.  Quite frankly, the public will very likely be shocked when they find out that scientists simply change the data after it was recorded.  There will be a collapse of trust in the climate scientists.  Quite frankly, that collapse of trust will have been earned many times over.

Good idea, but right now they have the unaltered temp documented and the altered temp. The sensors themselves are (at least theroetically) not manipulated so we still get correct info if we look a little bit. Need to be careful to prevent bad actors from changing things earlier in the process and making it harder to find. If the change is hardware calibration vs manipulating Excel it will be harder to keep things honest.

So let me get this straight. You're saying we should base scientific conclusions on actual facts instead of data manipulated as an excuse for tyranny?

He needs to stop NASA from their lies also.

Gee, fabricating or manipulating evidence to fit what you want in order to justify massive amounts of funding. Sounds like a prosecutable offense, maybe since all of it was done by a cabal of offenders, maybe even prosecutable under RICO.

That's right. Jail these bastards and bastardettes. At the least they should lose their pensions and their jobs.

Too mild.
Make publishing false data by any government entity a criminal offense, punishable under federal fraud statutes for a term of not less than 10 years in federal prison, and then pick out an example or ten to publicly prosecute and imprison, and the phenomenon will disappear forever thereafter.

Weaponize the justice system against corruption and propaganda, instead of patriotism, if only for the novelty of the approach.

Make those who FUND them illegal as well. You surely know who that is.
Soros. Zuckerberg. And millions more across the West!

Reputation takes years to build

And unless you have the memory of a squirrel decades to rebuild.

Pity that old Sage was so correct "Nobody lost money betting on the stupidity of humans".

W H A T ?! Next thing you'll be wanting is accuracy in voting results and FEMA assisting ALL victims. Heresy, I say!

Sadly, too little, too late. They've 'lost' the previous raw data... sigh

i wish it was that simple. temperature databases have a big problem when trying to do trend analyses: different time of day for each temp and between stations. most of us realize that temps at 9am are likely to be different from a temp taken at Noon.
