Did NOAA Cook the Climate Books?

It may seem hard to believe, but it looks like the federal government gave out falsified climate data in order to support global warming positions.  The chief culprit is the NOAA.  In 2015, NOAA rushed out a paper which supposedly showed that the pause in temperature rise of the previous 17 years had to be revised.  The new temperature data which NOAA produced, particularly for the temperatures over the oceans, indicated that there had been no pause in temperature increases.  Now, however, all that new data is being "revised" or even discarded.  I won't go into the full background of this mess; others have already put this forward in detail.  The key point, however, is that NOAA seems to have intentionally put out data that it knew was incorrect and the agency took that step to support a political rather than a scientific agenda.

If you consider that president Obama and his party wanted to severely limit the US economy to help combat non-existent warming, the magnitude of what was done by NOAA becomes clear.  The environmental leftist zealots at NOAA would have impoverished millions of Americans in pursuit of a fight against something that wasn't actually happening.

It's a good think Trump won.  Hopefully, NOAA will clean house and the zealots will be tossed out.
