The Telegraph recently published an article that exposes how the data supporting global warming ‘science’, specifically official temperature records, have been manipulated systematically to give the appearance that the Earth has warmed considerably more than it actually has.
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.
you libs need to find yer unicorns and go get more kool-ade
True 🙂
ITS ALL ABOUT WORLD GOVERNMENT AND MONEY NOT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING
Look who makes money on global warming. Fraud those people want it to be true look at l Gore
UBETCHA !
Duh!
The people pushing it Know it is a scam. They are being very dishonest.
true
Gee no kidding!
This is why we need Red White and Blue Fest National Patriot Rally and Convention! Take back our Government, take back our Country, break the power of the power brokers!!! May 1-3, 2015 learn how to get the job done and let’s get on with it!!! Sunny Hills, Florida north of Panama City, http://www.constitutionalpatriots.org Please spread the word!!!
Red White and Blue Fest info is at: http://www.constitutionalpatriots.org
http://www.facebook.com/RedWhiteAndBlueFest
Here is the information about Red White And Blue Fest National Patriot Rally and the action event, 9-11 Patriot Ride 2015 where Gold Star Moms and Dads are going to serve Citizen Warrants on obama, biden, senators, congressmen, bureaucrats, et al who have violated their oath of office and/or committed other crimes against the people. Please feel free to share the information below with any and all groups and individuals that you want! Along with teaching how to do Citizen Warrants and Citizen Grand Juries and other legal remedies for removing politicians and bureaucrats we will have a Biker Rodeo, Trucker Rodeo, Veterans and Law Enforcement Marksman Championship, Civilian Marksman Championship and product demonstrations for archery and other products. Andy Ross the country singer and bow hunter with shows on the Sportsman Channel wants to sing and give demonstrations at Red White and Blue Fest. His big patriot song right now is “Cold Dead Hands”! There will be a tent city and camping village that will include RVs, Coaches, Tractor & Trailers, and recreation for the whole family including fishing, swimming, swimming, golf, tennis, bike trails, and sports fields. There will be three nights of country music and folk rock concerts featuring three acts per night. This is going to be a great family event and the teaching will include kids as well with We The Kids History Clubs. Sunny Hills, Florida north of Panama City May 1-3, 2015.
