Wasn't Hansen (NASA) also accused of 'modifying' the Siberian data a few years ago and wouldn't release his methodology? Not sure what ever became of that. The temperature data in Siberia is scarce at best and it's curious that we have a pattern of 'taint' associated with this data. Hmmm...interesting.
Yah Hansen gets busted all the time
"Inconvenient Truth: Team Gore Global Warming Members Hansen and Pachauri Caught Promoting Bad Data" :
"Dr. James Hansen - head of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) and chief scientific supporter of Al Gore's weather forecast: Booker reports that last week Hansen's group announced that this October was the warmest on record. Independent researchers, not part of the global warming propaganda campaign, found this somewhat suspicious in light of unprecedented cold weather reports from around the globe during the month. They investigated the GISS data - and shock! It was defective. Seems that all the data for Russia in the October report was rolled forward from the previous months(s). An astronomer by training, it appears that Dr. Hansen is somewhat challenged by terra firma data. "

"NASA Backtracks On 1998 Warmest Year Claim"
NASA Corrects 120 Years Worth of Bad Data, Notes NCPA Expert
DALLAS (August 14, 2007) - The warmest year on record is no longer 1998 and not because it has been overtaken by a recent heat wave. NASA scientist James Hansen's famous claims about 1998 being the warmest year on record in the U.S. was the result of a serious math error, according to H. Sterling Burnett, a senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA). NASA has now corrected the error, anointing 1934 as the warmest year and 1921 as the third warmest year, not 2006 as previously claimed.

His models were being used by "global cooling" scammers back in the 70's
"U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming."
Climate Change: Did NASA scientist James Hansen, the global warming alarmist in chief, once believe we were headed for . . . an ice age? An old Washington Post story indicates he did.
On July 9, 1971, the Post published a story headlined "U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming." It told of a prediction by NASA and Columbia University scientist S.I. Rasool. The culprit: man's use of fossil fuels.
The Post reported that Rasool, writing in Science, argued that in "the next 50 years" fine dust that humans discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun's rays that the Earth's average temperature could fall by six degrees.
Sustained emissions over five to 10 years, Rasool claimed, "could be sufficient to trigger an ice age."
Aiding Rasool's research, the Post reported, was a "computer program developed by Dr. James Hansen," who was, according to his resume, a Columbia University research associate at the time...
"They found no need to worry about the carbon dioxide fuel-burning puts in the atmosphere," the Post said in the story, which was spotted last week by Washington resident John Lockwood, who was doing research at the Library of Congress and alerted the Washington Times to his finding.
Hansen has some explaining to do. The public deserves to know how he was converted from an apparent believer in a coming ice age who had no worries about greenhouse gas emissions to a global warming fear monger."

The best were the people who lied about the polar bears. They found 4 dead bears after a huge arctic hurricane like storm and assumed there must have been 40 dead bears since 10 bears were seen swimming alive before the storm. They knew they had no evidence but spoke about "the fingerprints of evidence". We live in an age of proliferation of junk science.
