The unadjusted data these people present do not account for the relocation of measurement sites. If a measurement site for an area were to be moved higher above sea level, we would expect its readings to be consistently lower than those recorded prior to its move. Since New Zealand's measurement sites have moved over the last 150 years, the use of these unadjusted data are a complete distortion of reality.
This is an inexcusable mistake. Not only do these people not know the first thing about the data they attempt to analyze, they have evidently never attempted to learn anything at all about the data.
It's also rather implausible that the NIWA is part of a global conspiracy to cook numbers but still provides free, open access to the raw data that reveal the whole nefarious plot to any fool who can plot a chart.
