The year 2000 appears to have been when the US government started lying about climate and tampering with climate data on a grand scale.
The year 2000 National Climate Assessment included this line
Over the 20th century, the average annual US temperature has risen by almost 1°F (0.6°C)
However, ten years earlier NOAA and CRU said the exact opposite.
Last week, scientists from the United States Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that a study of temperature readings for the contiguous 48 states over the last century showed there had been no significant change in average temperature over that period.
Dr. Jones said in a telephone interview today that his own results for the 48 states agreed with those findings.
Satellite data shows that there was little increase in US temperatures during the time between the NOAA report and the NCA report.

The mythical one degree US warming, which is now a critical part of the global warming big lie, was created by Tom Karl and James Hansen in the year 2000 – as seen in the GISS animation below.
Is it a coincidence that Michael Mann also erased the Medieval Warm Period around that time?
In 1993 the leftist Senator Tim Wirth said they should “ride” the agw issue even if the theory is wrong. Earlier, in ’89, Steven Schneider said that they should “offer” (make up) scary scenarios, saying that there should be a “balance” between telling the truth (ineffective) and lying (effective). Watson of greenpeace echoed this, saying “It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.”
These type of statements suggesting that the scare mongers should lie and fabricate were certainly gaining esteem, and by the time Al Gore was running for president a critical mass must have been reached. Truth no longer mattered, and was in fact something to be frowned upon.
These intelligent elites thought of themselves as soldiers that were trying to save the world, or at least trying to further the laudable causes of de-industrialization and leftist global politics. The Chicken Little Brigade. They were the chosen, and the “little people” (the public) were too dumb or too ideologically impure to respect. Manipulating and deceiving the little people became the key to implementing their radical agenda, and that is what they became experts in (deception).
And in fact, they had many of us duped good, for a long time. The problem for them, though, is that now, with the CGate emails and Hide the Decline etc, their deceptive intent, and ideological motives, is clear as day. ALL their predictions of disaster, and ALL their models, have failed.
The wheels have fallen off their deception mobile. Yet these guys seem unfazed, moving apace like mindless automatons they roll out fresh baloney daily it seems, and new, but obviously false predictions of doom. A joke.
Not fresh, regurgitated! A different name or a little different method of smoothing, adjusting or whatever they do to masticate the data prior to spewing in all over the so called scientific press for our entertainment pleasure.
Nothing new, except a name of a few words. SOS!
“Get your fresh baloney here! Fresh! Freshly regurgitated. From the big names of the Chicken Little Brigade like sleight of hand Hansen, moronic Mann, even the geek Gleick.” And it takes about as much intelligence as a cow sitting there chewing the cud. So you wonder how intelligent these self-appointed saviors actually are.
Actually, adjustments have risen over the last few decades.
Steven, you’ve just hit a home run!
The change points have always smacked of tampering to me.
The station adjustments may change, but all in one direction before 1917, in the opposite direction from 1918 to 1963 and back in the first direction after 1964? This strikes me as date-sensitive offsets.
Hmmm Al Gore eh? But for a handfull of pregnant chads……..
