One of these lines represents the actual raw temperature data for Pennsylvania. The other line, the "adjusted" data. I'll let astute readers figure out which is the raw, or "real" data, and which is the adjusted, or "scientific" data.
Hint#1: Western Pennsylvania -- "It's cold out there, wood-chuck chuckers".
Hint#2: "____ the ______".
Western science has become Animal Farm (or do I mean 1984?).

You should change that to "Government Science".
could you cite the source? I'd love to check that evidence.
Happy to oblige. See the update.
There's a reason why all early climate data needs to be adjusted. Prior to 1970, residents of Lebanon, PA simply stuck wet fingers into the air to get the temperature. Scientists have determined that this leads to an over-stating of temperature by 1.4 degrees C +/- mean derivation of 0.3 - 0.8 degrees 97% of the time. (It's even worse if they use their thumbs!).
So, it's all really quite scientific -- Phil Connors has been relying on their work for years.
