Why do they claim that no data needs adjustment given known changes in stations etc.
Salinger said adjustments were made for legitimate reasons, such as changes of site.
When they say "all the Adjustments" do you actually know how many station are adjusted? Wellington is explained, Lincoln, Dunedin and Hotikita.
Dunedin shows cooling. Some conspiracy hey. NIWA adjusted it, and it shows cooling after the adjust.
I bet you won't be questioning that adjustment.

Please note that all adjustments can only ever be estimates, made in good faith and using scientifically accepted methodologies.
Note that the adjustments are increasing with time, a possible indication of urban warming. This is a key reason for moving to a less built-up site (Mangere) as the station representing the “Auckland” location in the composite temperature series.
Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year).

The extent of Arctic sea ice at its summertime low point has dropped 40 percent in the past three decades. The idea that a tiny Antarctic ice expansion makes up for this — that heat is merely shifting from the the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern and therefore global warming must not be happening — is "just nonsense," Serreze said.
