Funny you should mention this. This was one of the other things that really drew my attention towards the whole climate situation many years back. I was in a techie forum somewhere when the subject of climate came up, and one of the folks there mentioned that he was something of a data hoarder (which is a real thing, I guess). And he said that he had copies of historical temperature data downloaded from various years, and that he had noticed the numbers sometimes magically changing from year to year. He said that it appeared to him that the data sets were being tampered with. And most everybody else there (not me) jumped all over him, calling him a liar and saying that reputable scientists would never do such a thing! Except, of course, that's exactly what they've been doing.
