Instead of posting conspiracy theory garbage like that, why not go to the GISTEMP site and read all about the the temperature adjustments that have been done and the reasons for them.

For instance:

Updates to Analysis, ERSST v4 vs. v3bOn July 15, 2015, GISS switched from NOAA/NCDC's Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) dataset version 3b to version 4 in their temperature analysis. According to NOAA's ERRST v4 webpage:

"Major improvements include updated and substantially more complete input data from the ICOADS Release 2.5, revised Empirical Orthogonal Teleconnections (EOTs) and EOT acceptance criterion, updated sea surface temperature (SST) quality control procedures, revised SST anomaly (SSTA) evaluation methods, revised low-frequency data filing in data sparse regions using nearby available observations, updated bias adjustments of ship SSTs using Hadley Nighttime Marine Air Temperature version 2 (HadNMAT2), and buoy SST bias adjustments not previously made in v3b."The two versions are compared in some graphs and maps below.

Note: The graphics on this webpage were updated Jul 18, 2015, following discovery of a bug in our original handling of the ERSSTv4 data. See note on Updates to Analysis for this date.
