Australis, IMHO you are wasting your time grasping at meaningless straws. If you want to worry about something, make it something real – like this:

Okay. You don’t know. Nor does anybody else.

“So what makes you sure that NIWA’s 1990 adjustments to the 1943 raw data at Hokitika were objective and accurate – or even had the right sign?”
You have the raw data, the papers on methodology. You do it. Question, in light of all the indexes indicating warming, why are you so sure NIWA is not to be trusted?

Yes, I understand there have been changes at virtually all New Zealand temp stations. This may include the 11 which didn’t need adjustments to show warming?

So what makes you sure that NIWA’s 1990 adjustments to the 1943 raw data at Hokitika were objective and accurate – or even had the right sign?

If NIWA hasn't kept "worksheets" from the 1970s & 80s (before NIWA existed in its current form), are we surprised? Not much shock horror there. NIWA is going to to post all temp data and adjustments soon. No doubt Treadgold and his pals will find something to complain about, and continue their revolting and ignorant smear campaign.

“Did you miss it? The big lie? There are no reasons for any large corrections. That’s it, there. And it’s a lie because the NZ CSC has known for at least three years why adjustments have been made to certain stations.”

Wishart and the NZCSC are claiming that NIWA do not have records of the adjustments (see link below). So who is lying? Do you have egg on your face again Gareth for trusting what your buds at Niwa told you or are Wishart and NZCSC mistaken?
