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

By Christopher Booker
The Telegraph (UK)
10:15PM GMT 07 Feb 2015

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”, 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.

Climategate, the sequel: How we are STILL being tricked with flawed data on global warming

Something very odd has been going on with the temperature data relied on by the world's scientists, writes Christopher Booker

By Christopher Booker
The Telegraph (UK)
9:05PM GMT 24 Jan 2015

[excerpt]

One surprise is that the three surface records, all run by passionate believers in man-made warming, in fact derive most of their land surface data from a single source. This is the Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN), managed by the US National Climate Data Center under NOAA, which in turn comes under the US Department of Commerce.

But two aspects of this system for measuring surface temperatures have long been worrying a growing array of statisticians, meteorologists and expert science bloggers. One is that the supposedly worldwide network of stations from which GHCN draws its data is flawed. Up to 80 per cent or more of the Earth’s surface is not reliably covered at all. Furthermore, around 1990, the number of stations more than halved, from 12,000 to less than 6,000 – and most of those remaining are concentrated in urban areas or places where studies have shown that, thanks to the “urban heat island effect”, readings can be up to 2 degrees higher than in those rural areas where thousands of stations were lost.

WMO Demolish NOAA/NASA Claims Of Hottest Year

Global temperatures during 2006

The analyses made by leading climate centres indicate that the global mean surface temperature in 2006 was 0.42°C to 0.54°C above the 1961–1990 annual average. Accordingly, 2006 will most likely go down as the sixth warmest year on record. December 2006 was the warmest December since global surface records were instituted.

Based on the Hadley Centre analyses, 2006 surface temperatures averaged separately for both hemispheres were 0.59°C above the 30-year mean of 14.6°C/58.28°F for the northern hemisphere, which was the fourth warmest year on record, and 0.26°C above the 30-year mean of 13.4°C/56.12°F for the southern hemisphere respectively, for the eighth warmest year on record. The global average temperature anomaly for December was +0.54°C.

All temperature values have uncertainties, which arise mainly from gaps in data coverage. The size of the uncertainties is such that the global average temperature for 2006 is statistically indistinguishable from, and could be anywhere between, the first and the eighth warmest year on record.

My post of this same story was only 11 down the sidebar list from nolu's.

I'm surprised he didn't get a dupe warning from the forum software. nolu even used the Feb 2015 publish date and the same URL -- exactly as I did -- and LF still didn't catch it as a dupe.

Homewood is on my watchlist now (bookmarked). I doubt he's another Steve McIntyre but he's doing some great blogging in a more readable format than most of McIntyre's stuff. McIntyre gets kinda sciency and that turns off the Cool Kids.

None of this is new and is considered irrevelant by the world leaders who have drunk the koolaid and committed themselves to fighting the inevietable

If I had seen your thread, I would not have posted this article at all. I did not get it via Drudge. I did not notice a dupe alert, but it is more likely that I goofed, than that Neil's software did.

I saw this thread and recalled Rush Limbaugh (and others) talking about the data adjustments. What started out as a response got a bit long when I looked at the follow-up articles at the Telegraph, so I posted it as a new thread.

RUSH: There was a story in the UK Telegraph yesterday: "The Fiddling with Temperature Data is the Biggest Science Scandal Ever." It's by Christopher Booker. "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.

Yes call me a denier too!

Fact is I don't believe the storyline.

Logic says if this is true we should be seeing greater effects by now, but in fact what we are seeing is what has been obvious for a long time. weather happens. Floods happen, storms happen, oceans rise, they have been doing it for a long time, otherwise why are there sunken cities? Warming may be inconvient in some places but a blessing in others. Man has caused greater change in other ways but noone cares
