NASA’s Spectacular Antarctic Temperature Fraud

Remember that name “Gavin Schmidt” – NASA’s current climate criminal in chief.

Real Climate Science

Back when he still pretended to be a legitimate scientist, Gavin Schmidt reported that Antarctica was rapidly cooling – during a period of rapid CO2 rise.

Shindell, D.T., and G.A. Schmidt 2004. Southern Hemisphere climate response to ozone changes and greenhouse gas increases. Geophys. Res. Lett. 31, L18209, doi:10.1029/2004GL020724.

While most of the Earth warmed rapidly during recent decades,surface temperatures decreased significantly over most of Antarctica.

NASA maps reflected this cooling.

But this cooling wrecked their global warming theory (poles were supposed to burn up) so NASA simply changed the data in 2009 – and Nature Magazine happily assisted their fraud.

NASA’s temperature fraud enables further fraud like Heidi Cullen claiming that all of the ice in Antarctica is going to melt.

Temperatures in Antarctica would have to warm up 120 degrees to start melting.
