The temperature is whatever the government bureaucrats want to make it !

SUMMARY:
The ACORN series of the 
Bureau of Meteorology 
includes 112 temperature
measurement stations
in Australia.

New “ACORN 2″ adjustments, 
that the Australian Bureau 
of Meteorology quietly released,
claim the coldest mornings 
back in 1910 were even colder 
than anyone measured at the time ! 

This is the second large batch 
of "adjustments" in six years,
increasing global warming by 23%,
from the "adjustments" alone.

About one third 
of the warming 
of the Australia 
average temperature
since 1910 is due to 
man-made 
"adjustments"
to the raw data.

Comparing AWAP 
( semi-raw data ) 
to the latest 
ACORN2 data, 
the average 
temperature 
increase 
(warming) 
is up from 
+0.08 C. per decade
to +0.123 C. per decade. 

That’s a 50% increase
of the claimed warming 
rate per decade 
from "adjustments"
to the actual raw 
temperature 
measurements !

And that's 
a lot of 
adjusting !





DETAILS:
Darwin, Australis's 
temperature record 
was the only location
in central northern 
Australia, where
temp­era­ture had been 
measured since 1895 
from a thermometer
in an instrument shelter. 

The Darwin record 
include­s temperatures 
taken at Darwin post office 
from 1882 until 1941, 
and from the Darwin airport 
from 1942 to the present.”  











The Australian Bureau 
of Meteorology seems to 
have no interest 
in the hot pre-1910 era.

On January 1,1910, the
maximum temperature
recorded at the 
Darwin, Australia 
post office, was 
34.2 degrees C.

It was later "adjusted" 
to 33.8 C, and now it is 
32.8 C. ?




The "adjustments" 
estimate what 
historical temperatures 
would have been
if they were recorded 
with today’s equipment 
at the current site.

It was assumed that the 
raw temperature record 
for Darwin, Australia
must be wrong(?)
because it showed 
a general trend 
of cooling to about 1950, 
and then warming.

But that was 
not unusual
for Australia,
where scientists 
back in 1952 
were discussing 
how Australia 
had cooled in 
the 20th century. 




DOWNWARD adjustments 
to the older records 
were applied to account 
for differences between 
the older site, and the 
current site, and also for
differences between 
older thermometers, 
and the current 
automated sensors.

-- But there are two 
good reasons for 
UPWARDS adjustments 
that were ignored:

(1)
Adjustments for all 
the economic growth
in the vicinity of the 
thermometers,
such as new concrete
and bricks, for new roads 
and buildings, airports, 
air conditioners, etc., 
( now called the urban heat
island warming effect ),
means old thermometers 
in the years before 
all the economic growth,
need to have their temperatures
adjusted UP, not DOWN.  


(2)
And what about the all new 
'one-second-records' from
modern electronic equipment? 

The old glass 
thermometers 
couldn’t measure 
a one second blast 
of hot air from a 
nearby airplane,
as a modern 
instrument
located at 
an airport
could do.

The old slow acting 
mercury thermometers 
need to be adjusted UP, 
not DOWN, to compete
with sensitive electronic 
instruments.

But historic "adjustments"
go DOWN, far more often 
than they go UP, which creates
"global warming" from the 
"adjustments" themselves,
and none of it makes sense !

When raw temperature data
are "adjusted", you no longer
have real data.

You have numbers that 
someone thinks are what
the temperature data 
WOULD HAVE BEEN,
if measured "correctly" 
in the first place.
