NASA USED GIMMICKRY TO EXAGGERATE RATE OF GLOBAL WARMING
The two NASA graphs below, both published in 2020, look entirely different because the top graph was drawn with a broken Y axis which started at 14 C instead of zero. The second below, a bar graph, published only once in 2020, was drawn correctly with a zero Y axis. The baseline in the first graph at 15 C was reduced to 14 C in 1995. There was no need to alter the graph itself, the anomalies could remain the same all they had to do was lower the original baseline temperature to 14 C. The temperature in 2020 measured at 1.02 C above the 14 C baseline is now 15.02 C instead of 16.02 C had the previous baseline of 15 C been retained. The WMO published baseline periods of 1951-1980 for 1994 and 1961-1990 for 1995 but did not mention the temperatures.
NASA Original Graph With 15 Degree Baseline
The 1994 temperature was calculated at 15.32 C using the original baseline of 15 C degrees (59 F) which matched the 15.31 C temperature recorded some thirty years later by the WMO in 2024 who used the same anomaly but a different baseline of 14 C (57 F), posted by CRU East Anglia Hockey Stick team in 1998.
Excerpts below from New York Times 1998:
The earth’s average surface temperature in 1998 is the highest by far since people first began to measure it with thermometers in the mid-19th century, the World Meteorological Organization reported yesterday.
According to the new figures, the average global temperature this year will turn out to be about 58 degrees F (14.44 C) a full degree warmer than the 1961-1990 average of 57 F .
”This number’s amazing,” said Dr. Philip D. Jones, a climatologist at the University of East Anglia in England, speaking of a field in which records are normally set in fractions. Dr. Jones provided much of the information on which yesterday’s announcement was based.

WMO kept their options open by not revealing the temperatures for either of the baseline periods and when they did it was in support of the Hockey Stick outfit whose methods of measuring temperatures included the reliance on ice cores and hot and cold tree ring data
The UN, WMO and IPCC, who are recieving Billions of Dollars in public funds, have cheated the public by supporting the drop in Global temperatures in 1994 at 15 C + to 14 C+ in 1995 then slowly raised temperatures back up to 15 C+ in 2023 providing the false impression that a one degree of global warming had occurred which was what they needed to prove global warming.
The return to a 15 C baseline makes sense now that the NASA’s own planetary data has pegged earth’s temperature at 15 C which you have published twice. It might become more obvious when the global temperature teeters up and down around 15 C.
If Google has the average global at 15 C why are they bothering with global temperatures? They might say that they are concerned with measuring average temperatures in the temperate zones where most people live which could account for increasing temperatures, after all people don’t live in the Polar regions which would lower world temperatures if they were taken into account
How do they account for the variation in elevation and latitude? Each square mile of the earth’s land surface has a unique temperature.
The WMO global temperature in 1995 which was 14.40 C shows further warming to 14.44 C in 1998. This was a cooling of slightly less than one degree Celsius since 1994 at 15.31 C.
