NOAA’s claim that “data tampering” is just science is a flimsy excuse for fudging numbers to fit their narrative. They adjust historical climate data—cooling the past, warming the present—and call it “homogenization” to fix station quirks like relocations or time shifts. But let’s cut the crap: nearly half of their USHCN data is fake, marked with an “E” for “estimated” because stations didn’t even report. They’re not correcting; they’re inventing. Raw data often shows flat or cooling U.S. trends since the 1890s, yet NOAA’s tweaked version magically aligns with rising CO2, jacking up temperatures by 1.5°F. Coincidence? Hardly.
Thermometer data shows 1921 almost two degrees warmer in the US than 2021, but after data tampering by @NOAA 2021 is warmer than 1921. The level of fraud from the US government is rather spectacular https://t.co/l2iYX0bRG5 https://t.co/7bEbCINsIt pic.twitter.com/lQETEc42Ag

Critics like Real Climate Science and Tony Heller here, expose how urban heat fixes and time-of-observation tweaks suspiciously amplify warming. NOAA hides behind peer-reviewed jargon, citing studies like Hausfather’s 2016 paper, but cherry-picking pristine stations to validate their fudge-fest doesn’t make it legit.
The latest data tampering by @NOAA to the raw temperature data is some of the worst #ClimateScam malfeasance I have seen yet. The raw temperature data is supposed to be actual thermometer data, but they are altering that data as well. https://t.co/nZDO056Oyt pic.twitter.com/IVBSYK9uol

Transparency’s a joke—try finding a clear breakdown of how they “estimate” missing data. This isn’t science refining itself; it’s a calculated rewrite of history to push a climate agenda. The raw data’s messy but honest. NOAA’s polished version? A sculpted lie.
They’re not fixing biases—they’re baking them in. Prove me wrong, NOAA. Show your work.
The press used to say my documentation of @NOAA data tampering was "conspiracy theory." Now they say the data tampering is critically important policy.

The media is complicit
ABC News "Chief Climate Correspondent" @Ginger_Zee says it's okay that NOAA adjusts temperature data "because that's how you do science."
— Steve Milloy (@JunkScience) February 26, 2025Actually, no, that's not how science is done.
Adjusting temperature data is not "science" because the adjustments are not and cannot be… pic.twitter.com/nWA2ehd1dy
