And that time series show trending only after 'adjustment' (a phenomenon that should raise suspicion in any truth-seeking mind):

In fact, the adjustments correlate almost perfectly to measured levels of atmospheric CO2:

The national weather service (NOAA) appears to be adjusting the data to match global warming theory. The author calls this 'policy-based evidence making.'

One would be foolish to ignore policy-based evidence making as a primary motivator of all government agency activities having to do with studies and data services.
