Why did the BOM start fudging records 20 years ago?
Simple.
They needed to create a narrative that the temperature was getting hotter when it actually wasn’t.
You know, a bit like the PCR tests that faked Covid cases.
The manipulation of the truth by our government agencies is truly Orwellian.

Senator RENNICK: Mr Johnson, I will come back to you; I think you’re the better person to ask this of: when was the original decision made, and by whom, to commence homogenisation?
Mr Johnson: I might actually defer back to Dr Braganza because it preceded my time; the process has been going on for a long time.
Dr Braganza: Regardless of where you are at the Australian Bureau of Statistics or others, we apply statistical adjustments to data that’s collected over time to make sure it is the most accurate representation of what really happened. The history of applying those adjustments to a climate record is very long. Back into the last century you would have had agencies such as those in the US and others who compiled global data.
Senator RENNICK: I’m referring to Australia in particular, noting ACORN came out around 2011 or 2012—something like that.
Dr Braganza: We have been applying adjustments to data preceding that—I would have to take it on notice, but I believe since the early 2000s.
Senator RENNICK: Did the Australian Bureau of Statistics do it before then?
Dr Braganza: No; I was just drawing a general parallel to data analysis.
Senator RENNICK: Excellent. Thank you.
