The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever
New data shows that the “vanishing” of polar ice is not the result of runaway global warming.

When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically “adjusted” to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified.
Two weeks ago, under the headline “How we are being tricked by flawed data on global warming”,( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/com.....-global-warming.html ) I wrote about Paul Homewood, who, on his Notalotofpeopleknowthat blog, had checked the published temperature graphs for three weather stations in Paraguay against the temperatures that had originally been recorded. In each instance, the actual trend of 60 years of data had been dramatically reversed, so that a cooling trend was changed to one that showed a marked warming.
This was only the latest of many examples of a practice long recognised by expert observers around the world – one that raises an ever larger question mark over the entire official surface-temperature record
Following my last article, Homewood checked a swathe of other South American weather stations around the original three. In each case he found the same suspicious one-way “adjustments”. First these were made by the US government’s Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN). They were then amplified by two of the main official surface records, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (Giss) and the National Climate Data Center (NCDC), which use the warming trends to estimate temperatures across the vast regions of the Earth where no measurements are taken. Yet these are the very records on which scientists and politicians rely for their belief in “global warming”.
Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded. This has surprised no one more than Traust Jonsson, who was long in charge of climate research for the Iceland met office (and with whom Homewood has been in touch). Jonsson was amazed to see how the new version completely “disappears” Iceland’s “sea ice years” around 1970, when a period of extreme cooling almost devastated his country’s economy.
One of the first examples of these “adjustments” was exposed in 2007 by the statistician Steve McIntyre, when he discovered a paper published in 1987 by James Hansen, the scientist (later turned fanatical climate activist) who for many years ran Giss. Hansen’s original graph showed temperatures in the Arctic as having been much higher around 1940 than at any time since. But as Homewood reveals in his blog post, “Temperature adjustments transform Arctic history”, Giss has turned this upside down. Arctic temperatures from that time have been lowered so much that that they are now dwarfed by those of the past 20 years.
Homewood’s interest in the Arctic is partly because the “vanishing” of its polar ice (and the polar bears) has become such a poster-child for those trying to persuade us that we are threatened by runaway warming. But he chose that particular stretch of the Arctic because it is where ice is affected by warmer water brought in by cyclical shifts in a major Atlantic current – this last peaked at just the time 75 years ago when Arctic ice retreated even further than it has done recently. The ice-melt is not caused by rising global temperatures at all.
Of much more serious significance, however, is the way this wholesale manipulation of the official temperature record – for reasons GHCN and Giss have never plausibly explained – has become the real elephant in the room of the greatest and most costly scare the world has known. This really does begin to look like one of the greatest scientific scandals of all time.

Nobody thinks that the sport of wrestling is fake. However a group of entertainers 'hijacked' the essence of the sport and branded it "Pro wrestling". They had some outlandish characters that performed some incredible super human feats. "Pro wrestling" tried to pass itself off as real, but everyone knew it was fake.
Pro wrestling" finally came clean and admitted it was fake.
Nobody thinks that climate science is fake. However a group of malicious individuals has 'hijacked' the essence of the science and has branded it as "Global Warming" or "Man Made Climate Change" or whatever name they can think of next week. They try and pass themselves off as real but the data has been altered.
Poor Boxy doesn't seem to get that the data was altered.
You know as in changed under false pretenses.
But as I said in another thread, You'd vote for Hillary even if she walked up to somebody on live TV and shot them in the face.
You don't care that the data was falsified, because it's not about the science.

And this applies to Climate Change how??? Bucky seems to be loosing it!
Buck loves to tell me what it is that I would do... is he clairvoyant???
I've voted for Republicans in the past and may in the future. I supported John McCain's run for the presidency against G Worst Bush in 2000. I voted for Wacky Patacki and voted against some Democrats. But of course, Bucky, being clairvoyant, already knows that!

You're a zealot. No amount of evidence presented to you is going to change this. It doesn't matter the formula used is flawed. It doesn't matter that the data is falsified and corrupted.
Same with Hillary. It doesn't matter.

Very easily. You're a zealot. No amount of evidence presented to you is going to change this. It doesn't matter the formula used is flawed. It doesn't matter that the data is falsified and corrupted. Same with Hillary. It doesn't matter.
Yes Bucky... EVERYONE has heard you... EVERYONE disregards your views... EVERYONE (oh I forgot... YOU speak for EVERYONE).
Climate Change is a FACT. If Bucky's 'expert' opinion disagrees with that FACT, is relevant.

And 'Climate Change' is now used. What was that other name? Oh right, 'Climate Disruption'. I guess that one didn't fly.
The issue isn't the science. It's the false data and flawed formulas.

zeal·ot
noun a person who is fanatical and uncompromising in pursuit of their religious, political, or other ideals. YUP! That's Bucky. He disagrees with 97% of scientists on the issue. His reason??? Um... Ahhhh... Um... Cause I just know climate change is fake. I just know it!

Climate change is no longer a debate over science. The latest surveys show that 89 percent of Democrats, 79 percent of independents and 70 percent of Republicans already believe global warming is happening and is at least partly caused by human actions.

The problem is that everyone skews the data to favor their own profession/viewpoint.
It isn't science when you have cars and factories spewing pollutants, and then you get smog.
it's simply an obvious outcome.
Great effort has been taken to lower emissions.
Tax breaks and incentives need to be used to increase less harmful methods of transportation and energy use.

The Bastard! He actually cares about survival of all species and the sustainability of our ecosystems. He is passionate about protecting the earth! Low Life Scum!
