Question. How can a bonafide scientist write down a temperature number on a sheet of paper, and then report years later that he wrote down a different number?

NASA's Rubber Ruler: An Update

The NASA/GISS temperature record is not actually a record of recorded temperatures. It is simply the most recent version of NASA's adjustments to older adjustments. It is not thermometer readings. It is models all the way down.
In 2012, I wrote an American Thinker article on the status of global warming at the time. I used the latest available NASA/GISS data to do that analysis, which was the version NASA had on its website on April 30, 2012 (Land-Ocean Temperature Index [LOTI]).
At that time, the data from 1880 through 2011 showed a warming trend of 0.59 degrees Celsius per century.
What is that warming trend using the latest data from NASA's website (December 30, 2017), using those same exact years (1880-2011)? The answer is 0.66 degrees Celcius.

I know that NASA adjusted the temperature record in a way that accelerated the warming trend. What I don't know for sure is how much of the warming trend is due solely to such adjustments. One peer-reviewed study says "nearly all" of the warming is fabricated.
I would sure like to look at the science of global warming. But without physical observations one can trust, how does one do that? It is all one big "trust us." But that is not science. The "temperature record" is not a record of thermometer readings. It is a summary of what government-funded people with science degrees think is OK for us to see.
