The Telegraph reports "The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever"
From the article:
"When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically “adjusted” to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified."
It seems that the norm in science may well be to cherry pick the results, but the story points to evidence that some climate data may have been falsified to fit the theory.
Sure, it's clickbait, but we've recently discussed cases where science and scientific consensus has gotten it so very wrong. Can we trust the science if we can't trust the data?

I guess you didn't live in South America during '60-ies either. Nor did you go change the thermometer in the Arctic in submarine infested North Sea. Even more, I don't think one used thermocouples and digital multimeters to read the temperature in those times.
At most you can do now is ask those measurements be discarded.
