Here a couple of paragraphs show that the climate 'scientists' would not have passed a normal engineering course:
"Strangely, GISS does not subtract their estimated urbanization bias from the current temperatures — their program adds degrees to the early unbiased temperatures, which is “rewriting history”.
NASA-GISS never verified their adjustments to prove they were actually removing urbanization biases from their data !
Once they had written their computer program, they merely assumed it would work."
These are not engineers
It is not like there are a lot of USHCN observation stations. Each should have its own raw and corrected/homogenized information with a formal manual signoff from the data keeper that the corrected/homogenized data has been verified (any change worked as intended) and validated (the change has been checked as correct). I get the feeling that there is a slapdash attitude in NASA-GISS to this data and if it shows more or less what they want it to then that is all that is required. Also by altering the past values - which were correct - instead of altering current values to remove UHI effects - they are again obfuscating what they are doing and making their corrections far more difficult to externally validate (which is probably the reason).
