QUESTIONABLE MASSAGED DATA? Riiiiight!
And yet the recent BEST report agrees with the data you refer to. The only people who find it questionable are those who are ideologically opposed to the findings of climate scientists.
It really baffles me that people think scientists would pervert their findings for political reasons. They're smart enough to know that sooner or later some other scientist will discover their dishonesty and destroy their scientific reputations. It's just not believeable that so many of them would take that chance.
