Oops! If the mainstream media was hoping that the Climategate scandal would be limited to the University of East Anglia's Climate Reasearch Unit (CRU) in Norwich, England, they are out of luck. This scandal has now reared its ugly head on the other side of the globe at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research (NIWA) which is that nation's chief climate advisory unit.
Watts Up With That? reposting from New Zealand's TBR.cc Investigate magazine's breaking news forum explains this latest development in the widening Climategate scandal:
The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is not confined to just Britain’s CRU climate research centre.
In New Zealand’s case, the figures published on NIWA’s website suggest a strong warming trend in New Zealand over the past century.

PING!

This is huge. Shows the climate fraud is not confined to one organization.
“Global warming” scam BUMP
They will be dragged into this like they were dragged kicking and screaming into covering ACORN. The can pretend it isn’t happening, but it still is.
With the exception of the US, the traditional English speaking countries are more scandalized by things like fraud, etc. It’s not that they are saints, but it demonstrates that our present-day culture is rotten to the core. Our countries media, entertainment, and higher ed institutions are sick, deathly so.
Past time to start asking who in the MSM are on the Obama/Soros payroll?
Thanks for the ping pj. Seems a Thanksgiving Day trend of information with New Zealand, and Obama’s Science Czar adding to the CRU fun.
It shouldn’t be long before this all will HAVE to be reported by the MSM.
The MSM is probably as we read, and post debating their spin.
Researchers find records adjusted to represent ‘warming’ when raw data show temperatures have been stable.

New Zealand Temperature Record BEFORE Adulteration
This is starting to look like the peer review that’s been needed and they’ve effectivly squashed. Until now....
This isn't fraud by environmentalists. These are people who have some sort of agenda or are being munipulated by others who have some sort of agenda.
Go to the original NewsBusters story. The link works from there.

Drudge Report has had Climategate at the top of his page for about the past 3 days. The MSM is well aware of it but still REFUSES to report on this scandal.
Global Frauding [Mark Steyn]
The CRU scandal has already ensnared Britain’s leading climate “scientist” Phil Jones (whom one principled leftie says has only “a few days left in which to make an honourable exit”) and his American counterpart Michael Mann (as in “Mann-made global warming”).
Given that these two men and their respective institutions are the leading warm-mongers on the planet, and the guys who dominate the IPCC, Copenhagen et al, it would be most unlikely if the widespread data-raping were confined only to the United Kingdom and the United States. Here’s an interesting snippet from my colleagues at Investigate magazine in New Zealand re their National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research:
NIWA’s David Wratt has told Investigate magazine this afternoon his organization denies faking temperature data and he claims NIWA has a good explanation for adjusting the temperature data upward. Wratt says NIWA is drafting a media response for release later this afternoon which will explain why they altered the raw data.
At least they only “altered” the data, unlike the CRU, which managed to lose it.
Upon examination of said “raw data”, it seems that the country’s temperature increased 0.06° over a century - ie, nada. But by the time Dr James Salinger (a big cheese at NIWA, the CRU and the IPCC), had “adjusted” the data New Zealand was showing an increase of 0.92° - ie, some 15 times greater than the raw data showed. Why?
It might be that “climate change” is an organized criminal conspiracy to defraud the entire developed world. Or there might be a “good explanation”. I’d be interested to hear it. Fortunately for NIWA et al, among the massed ranks of “environmental correspondents”, plus ça climate change, plus c’est la même chose.

If they ever do report it, it'll be about how they were duped.
