The problems of temperature homogenization: Investigating NOAA’s temperature adjustments

In this clip from Ep. 2 of the CERES Podcast, we will look at the “homogenization adjustments” that the various groups (especially NOAA) compiling global temperature records apply to the weather records before using them. We show how these adjustments are introducing non-climatic biases into the temperature data.
