Specifically, almost one in three (29.2%) in ‘junk’ Class 5 had ‘uncertainties’ up to 5°C as defined by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). Nearly half (48.7%) were sited at ‘near junk’ Class 4 sites...

Put all three series together, and we can see how most of the warming since 2001 is the result of adjustments to the data

NZ Climate Science Coalition statisticians have uncovered evidence of scarcely believable deception from our National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd (NIWA)...

Thus, it appears that NOAA’s homogenization procedure is spuriously warming station temperature trends (on average) when it should be cooling them. I don’t know how to conclude any different.

Appoint a task force to come up with appropriate width of the error bars. There should be some kind of sophisticated statistical model to generate this, but I would think that error bars of +/- 0.5 deg C are eminently justifiable.

“It is almost certain that the corrections are adding significant non-climatic warming to the raw data”.
