#1 The US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record

Of course this comes from the UK papers. The US MSM would never report it.

#2 Another 'the dog eat my homework' excuse by government personnel caught cooking information. Time to repeal the ~~Tenured Patronage~~ Civil Service Act.

#3 Actually this has been known for a while but it's finally making it to more mainstream notice. I'm not sure HOW they thought they could go back and change the historical data and not have people notice.

I must admit, I have a bad attitude toward Warmers and their Religion.

#5 Because the press isnt going to cover it due to it contradicting their leftist/progressive narrative.

#6 I've gotten into the habit of saving articles like this as PDF. In a month or two you won't be able to find it using Google or Bing -- unless you know the exact title, date and website. If you get your search perfect then suddenly these pop back up. Otherwise, it never happened.

#7 As SB pointed out, this has been known for a while. To "account" for urban heat sinks NOAA averaged the clearly hot stations with the cooler stations.

The result? Warmer temperatures!

Think about it; the systematic errors are all towards higher temperatures (e.g. weather stations on top of a tar roof; none have been put in freezers). Instead of discounting clearly invalid stations, by instead averaging them in you are "adjusting" good stations upwards. This was done with malice of forethought.

Scientist have known about this maladjustment for sometime and very few have stood-up to say that the king has no clothes.
