Haven't looked at them all. Some obviously are what you expect them to be.
Very surprised to hear that ALL are.

Their source aside; do you have problems with their methodology or analysis
of the available data?

However, I have some good "hard Science",
sure-not-to-offend-one's-religious-sensibility references which I'll write
up and post shortly. These deal with the quasar / quantised light
observations that I mentioned in passing.

IF these numerous but delicate and well studied and analysed observations
turn out to be for real then expect the WHOLE of Physics as we know it to
have its foundations removed in due course (not to mention the
infrastructure). Jury may be in by year's end I hear.

Quite a lot, although not of immensely practical application.
Note that the tag was (and is) [EE]: which seemed to be appropriate.
I thought about using [OT]: but [EE]: seemed better.
IF the speed of light is varying or has been varying it has major EE
implications, although none that will immediately change how we think of
PICS (however that may be)..

Note that the yet to be referenced quasar measurements deal with the fine
structure "constant" Alpha.

Alpha = 2 x Pi x e^2 /c / h

    e = electron charge
    c = (prepare for jump to) light speed
    h = Planck's constant (he hopes)(or would were he alive)
    Pi = you know
    2 = just some guy, you know.

Which one (if not several) of these "constants" do you think is varying if
anything is ?
Me - I plump for Pi, with 2 as a close second guess :-)
Would arguably cause less hair tearing in the scientific community than e, c
or h :-)
