They accomplish this transition by an impressive 1.6 degrees of data tampering, which cools the past and warms the present. Their hockey stick of adjustments is shown below.

When they don’t have data for a particular month, they just make modeled temperatures up for that station, and infill the missing data with imaginary temperatures.
The amount of fake data is currently 40%, and if trends continue, nearly all of their data will be fake by the year 2020.
