Because as we all know, lee doesn't believe that government agencies modify their data (unless it suits him Wink )
poor petal. Trolling again.
BTW - where have I said I don't believe government agencies modify their data? The CSIRO does, they admit it, BoM does, they admit it. It is not the modification I object to. It's the rationale used. You know - BoM modifying data for "statistical reasons".
Then there is Marble Bar the equipment may have been moved a few metres, They used data from hundreds of kilometres away to adjust the Marble Bar temperatures. Was that for "statistical reasons" or some other unknown metric?
It is impossible to back date temperatures. Whether you bleat about UHI which would either lower current temperatures or increase older temperatures, but not decrease older temperatures. And it has an added rider of "how much".
Please feel free to give us an informed opinion.
