The problem, say experts, is that an increasing number of USHCN’s stations don’t exist anymore.

They are physically gone—but still report data—like magic,” said Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, a certified consulting meteorologist.

He calls them “ghost” stations.

Observed data is real. Altered and fabricated data is not real. Period.
