"we don't even know for sure when every thermometer was read and reset over the last century "

That's why each station writes down the date, the time, and the values, What we don't know is how deniers manage to make things up.

Steele's Yosemite Nat'l Park mystery temp graph? W.U.W.T.?

There's a temperature graph going around the blogosphere claiming to represent the temperature trend in Yosemite National Park since 1900.

Finally I sent an email to the Western Regional Climate Center to see if they could offer any insight and they certainly did.
I share their response:
{I added paragraph breaks for clarity}

WRCC Data < wrcc@dri.edu> December 1, 2014 "Hello, This is not one of our graphs and I’m not exactly sure where this data was recorded. The official coop station Yosemite Park Headquarters began collecting temperature data in 1907 and this graph began in 1900. There are several issues with this graph - spelling for starters, we would also reference the WRCC so others could contact us if there was a question and these numbers are off. Looking at the data, these numbers and years are not correct. For example, the average annual max temperature occurred in 1926, not 1930-something as the graph displays.. I’m sorry, I cannot help you. I’ve tried to find this graph but no luck. I can tell you this is not our graph nor is the data correct." ? signed by the Service Climatologist, Western Regional Climate Center
