Tony Heller at Real Climate Science has provided another interesting post on how NASA GISS makes a practice of hiding the warm past to build the case for climate alarmism. Here is how NASA GISS has massaged the data over time to leave out earlier, warmer parts of the climate record, cool the more distant past data with adjustments (fudges), and warm the recent past (despite increased urban heat island effects): It is not the measurements that count, it is the result you want that counts at NASA.

Best Battleships, Ever: 5 Greatest Warships Ever To Sail
*James Holmes* *Security, * The battleships you don't want to be on the wrong end of. *A battleship is more than a machine. Machines neither rule the waves nor lose out in contests for mastery.
