#24The study questioned whether heat records are truly increasing and whether extreme weather is worsening.
I thought we were past that. I thought that it was now about questioning whether it was human caused, or the size of the impact.
Apparently we really are going back, and revisiting basic arithmetic.

#25We've seen this before with climategate - people seem to be endlessly editing the historical records.
Historical records, especially pre-record keeping are revised when new techniques and sciences discover better, more reliable ways of interpreting the physical geological evidence left in the world behind us. What is the basis of these revisions?
Records should never be edited.
They can be reinterpreted, but we must never edit or delete the original records.

A good example of this is revisions EDIT: of the interpretations :ENDEDIT of historical data: https://www.science.org/content/article/world-1-3%C2%B0c-or-... Apparently the Japanese continued using wooden buckets longer than other navies, resulting in Pacific data being skewed.
Closer reading should tell you that no one, no data scientist at least, is rewriting raw historical data - the temperatures recorded in ships logs by various ships are preserved unaltered.
What is discussed there is part of all data interpretation, the transfer functions between raw measures of and the inferred values of .
