It isn't invalid.
It is past measurements.
Uncorrected data is invalid because it's inaccurate.

None offered by those who did the adjustments, either.
You're taking some guy's word on that.
Feel free to post an explanation.
I'm not making the fraud accusation and therefore feel no need to do your homework for you. I suggest you contact the people responsible for the data you are criticizing directly.
I'm satisfied with the answer I have.
I'm aware. As I previously said, you just took that guy's word for it. You've accepted what you were told, and are satisfied with the lack of evidence.
At some point all the thermometers need to be calibrated to a standard.
Paradox. Either 47 terrawatts of heat are conducted or they aren't. Which is it, dude?
Actually, they talk of 'trapping' heat. Something that is not possible.
Heat isn't temperature. Heat is measured in watts. It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. Both NOAA and NASA claim to publish graphs of global temperatures. They're manufactured data.
We don't know the temperature of the surface of the Sun. We only have a general idea, say to within 100K deg F or so.
We don't know the temperature of the Earth. The temperatures across Earth's surface vary widely.
Baserate fallacy. You can't measure a change without measuring an absolute value first.
Raw data is that which gives many scientists job security. I worked for a year on a project related to instrument failures, or causes thereof.Math error. You can't use a statistical output as its own input. You can't use a statistical output to adjust any other statistical input. No statistical analysis can affected by other that may be been run. Outputs are not inputs. Outputs are not data. They are summaries.
Which is one of the reasons why climate 'scientists' deny mathematics, just like you do.
WRONG. Is the anomaly due to a stuck gauge? A communications fault? It might all be real data, and it's ALL significant. You can't just throw it out any piece of data BEFORE you select data for analysis. Math error. Failure to select by randN. Failure to normalize against paired randR. Failure to calculate margin of error. Failure to use raw data.
Entertainment can come im many forms.
Uncorrected data is invalid because it's inaccurate.
Heat is measured in watts?
So the BTU is still around? Thank goodness, I was about to trash my physics books.Only if you assign a time to it. One joule is one watt-second.
They are, but the accuracy depends on the type. A thermocouple is not very accurate compared to other types of sensors, but for general use is good enough. And, as has been pointed out, the deviation from normal is more important that the absolute reading.
Trending is very important when you don't want your nuclear reactor to exceed design parameters. I have been a Reactor Operator, I&C Tech, and Metrology Tech. And anything that is worth measuring is often being over designed. Really, anything more accurate than 0.1% is overkill.
Bear in mind, ALL of our nuclear power plants were designed using a slip-stick.....
Yes, and limited to ~3 significant figures.Slip Stick?
Is that another term for slide rule

The same technology put a lot of planes in the air.
We went over using one in college in the 70's, but have not even thought about since then.I never heard "slip stick" before, but I still have an old slide-rule handed down to me in the 60's. It's a 20's or 30's vintage and in near perfect shape. It's a Keuffel & Esser N4053-5. I just looked and found it online.

Yea, the TI-30 calculator came out just before I started and displaced slid rulers, butNever had to use one, training on them was stopped about 10 years before I would have had to use them. Instead we had instruction on the graphing calculators
