Glad you have admitted they are lies.

Processing occurs all the time in all kinds of experiments.

Raw data processing is required in most surveys and experiments. At the individual level, data needs to be processed because there may be several reasons why the data is an aberration.
They're not falsifying anything.

If they wanted to get a false higher global temperature, they would simply NOT adjust the raw data from ocean temperatures.

Until you admit that you don't understand how these things work, you're never going to learn anything.

Indeed, they have falsified data. They even emailed each other about doing so for their political cause.

You have repeatedly ignored legitimate explanations (probably because you don't understand them and don't want to), changed the subject and now you're digging up pathetic attacks by a paid PR person.

Believe what you want.

Emails between the AGW "scientists" have already been exposed. They discussed how to manipulate the data with each other, to further their political cause. AGW isn't real. It's only just a political position.

Now the current climate input from Albedo is for cooling. The relative strength of the input is a function of the amount of ice. Clean white snow is the most light reflective surface on earth. The darkest is the open water leads in Artic and Antarctic Sea ice. Soot is one of the darkest substances on earth.

Not green house gasses. Albedo. Paint the snow black and it stops cooling the climate off. In England metallurgical coke was first used making whisky about 1650. The first steam engine for pumping water out of coal mines was used in 1712. The current warming trend started in about 1730. You can see the soot in the peat bogs in England. So you should've been able to see the soot in the snow on top of the peat.

Albedo feed back loop. Less snow means less light reflected back into space means less cooling. Water vapor is a big green house gas. warmer air caries more water vapor.

Again albedo. In the little ice age the permanent sea ice was 35 miles north of the coast of Denmark. If the current Albedo input is for cooling then what would it have been like then?

Someone said 10%. That seams the correct order of magnitude to me.

Thermal inertia and the North Atlantic Conveyor, how many thousand years does that thing take to go around? The difference between weather and climate is time scale. The heat input from the 1850's until 1900 is showing up now.

Looking at the raw data vs. the corrected data. One of the three raw data graphs had what looked like an upwards trend with a discontinuity in it. The other two had a down wards trend. So what I think happened is this. They assumed that the discontinuity was an error like using two different thermometers. The first one read higher than the other one did and so they made the line straight. Then they adjusted the other to reporting stations to match the fixe one without much thought.

The albedo theory is mine. that the start of the current warming trend was caused by soot input to the snowpack in Europe at the start of the industrial revolution. I'm not saying that others didn't come up with it and maybe ahead of me. But I came up with it independently of anyone else.

So yeah, nothing you say is true... but I would never say it prevents other science deniers from blindly agreeing with you merely because you're on the same side.
So if my theory is right. Then we are headed into an ice age and should do everything we can to avoid it. and a little thing like fixing an error with the data that wasn't an error could mask a cooling trend and waist time we could be spending reversing it.

I do understand what I'm talking about.

ya and you can't read. What is lies? The corrected data? Or the uncorrected data?

That is the question.

the surface temperature of the sun is about 10,000 degrees, and again a tiny change there, say one percent, is also going to have a profound effect on the climate here.

Your problem is that none of the things you mention are effecting today's climate enough to account for the warming we are seeing.
