Edited Photos, So What’s Real

Once upon a time the Navy took this photo:

Apparently the original caption read:

Skate (SSN-578), surfaced at the North Pole, 17 March 1959

But it seems to have morphed to:

Skate (SSN-578),taken in summer, perhaps in August 1958.

The above is from Real-Science: Navy Changes Their Caption

Innocent error by some alarmist file keeper who couldn’t conceive of the upper caption being correct?

An adjustment to better suit the Global Warming hysteria meme?

Adjustments

Here’s an interesting graph. It shows measured US temps Vs adjusted US temps, since 1880.
