So let’s look at how NOAA created this latest fraud. Across the US, winter was 65th warmest (below average) since 1895 – but through the magic of data tampering, NOAA turned it into 36th warmest.

More than 50% of the winter 2019 adjusted data is “estimated” – meaning it came from a computer model instead of a thermometer. NOAA can produce any number which suits their agenda through their non-scientific data practices.

The “heat” exists entirely inside the crooked minds of government scientists. Without fossil fuels, they would be freezing and starving in the dark – just like everyone else.
