Antarctica Warming Numbers WERE MADE UP!!!!

For years Antarctica was a blot on the reputation of the Global warming nuts. You see the damned continent just REFUSED to get warmer. The Fact is satellite evidence has shown that the vast mass of Antarctica, has been getting colder over the past 30 years. Last year's sea-ice cover was 30 per cent above average.

The continent of Antarctica is warming up in step with the rest of the world, according to a new analysis. Scientists say data from satellites and weather stations indicate a warming of about 0.6C over the last 50 years. Writing in the journal Nature, they say the trend is "difficult to explain" without the effect of rising greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, scientists in Antarctica say a major ice shelf is about to break away from the continent. The Wilkins Ice Shelf is said to be "hanging by a thread" from the Antarctic Peninsula, the strip of land pointing from the white continent towards the southern tip of South America. BBC

There is only problem with the study, MUCH OF THE NUMBERS WERE MADE UP! The UK Telegraph reports:

One last attempt at resizing:

It looks to me as though there is almost no ground stations that cover the 2005 satellite image. Remember, we are dealing with over 5 nillion square miles and around 75 surface stations which only function as the conditions allow.

It should be kept in mind, that the entire history of the warmists, since the first IPCC report with its deliberately edited and distorted (read: false) conclusions in 1995, to the fraudulent " hockey stick" episode, to the deceptive use of readings from Russia's last year's numbers, to now this, is a litany of fabrication, falsification, cooked numbers and every other form of deceit known to man.

There are many ways to lie. You give examples of them lying about the data, but they also lie by presenting correct information in ways designed to make people believe the opposite of what it really means.

One example, concerns the fact that continental glaciers on Antarctica have sped up in recent decades. They tell people that it means the continent is losing ice faster as a result of this. What it really means is that the total mass of ice, making up the glaciers, is increasing, and the extra weight pushes the glaciers downhill faster.

Another example is the Vostok ice core data, which shows a strong correlation between average global temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels over almost a half million years. What they fail to mention, is that the correlation is strongest when the temperature change leads the CO2 change, so the CO2 change cannot be the cause of the temperature change.
