Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!

In discussing the recent release of some 5,000 Climategate e-mails, blogger Anthony Watts uses the clever headline "They are real -- and they're spectacular."  He credits Jerry Seinfeld as the source.  Following his example, I choose the headline "Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake!"  -- also taken from a Seinfeld episode  -- in discussing the surface temperatures generally reported for the latter part of the 20th century; they form the science basis for prosperity-killing international climate policy.
