I already have a decent understanding of how adjustments are made Do you have any reason to think that any adjustments are incorrect? If so, which ones? adjustments that are not made because they aren't thought of. Could you give me an example of any kind of an adjustment that hasn't been thought of? The need for an adjustment usually appears from step change in a series or a change in the trend of a station relative to nearby stations. All adjustments are performed by automated processes the code for which is publicly available. Two independent groups, the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) and Berkeley Earth start with raw data and use different methods to estimate global temperatures. The fact that independent groups arrive at almost identical results using different methods indicates that both are making good faith efforts to provide the best possible analysis of global temperature changes.
