“The temperature records cannot be relied on as indicators of global change,” said John Christy, professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a former lead author on the IPCC.
“The popular data sets show a lot of warming but the apparent temperature rise was actually caused by local factors affecting the weather stations, such as land development.”
The IPCC faces similar criticisms from Ross McKitrick, professor of economics at the University of Guelph, Canada, who was invited by the panel to review its last report.
The experience turned him into a strong critic and he has since published a research paper questioning its methods.

a weather station at Manchester airport was built when the surrounding land was mainly fields but is now surrounded by heat-generating buildings.
Terry Mills, professor of applied statistics and econometrics at Loughborough University, looked at the same data as the IPCC. He found that the warming trend it reported over the past 30 years or so was just as likely to be due to random fluctuations as to the impacts of greenhouse gases.

Yes. I don’t dispute that the owners of the devices had legitimate reasons to place them there, or that urban sprawl got to them over time. But it is disturbing and smacks of deliberate fraud that such a simple fact was allowed to introduce bias in the data.
“World may not be warming, say scientists?”
Really? I don’t trust them. They said it was....unequivocally and now?
How do they know they are wrong? Have they developed a consensus,....yet?
After all doesn’t he have a huge electric bill to pay.
The human contribution of CO2 is less than 1/2 of 1%. The biggest problem with the climate change gang is that it conveinently ignores big signs that they are wrong. They behave as if they have a great vested interest in promoting warming regardless of the science.
But isn’t Obama still sponsoring this fraud? Aren’t carbon credits supposed to be traded on the Chicago stock exchange? Isn’t that the goal of this fraud?
How can this guy be broken into the poor house?
Time for payback...
So, for example, those people in the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change], choose Hong Kong, which has six tide gauges, and they choose the record of one, which gives 2.3 mm per year rise of sea level. Every geologist knows that that is a subsiding area. It’s the compaction of sediment; it is the only record which you shouldn’t use. And if that figure is correct, then Holland would not be subsiding, it would be uplifting. And that is just ridiculous. Not even ignorance could be responsible for a thing like that. So tide gauges, you have to treat very, very carefully.
They do have a vested interest, it is called government research grant.
Well you are just one guy and that is your opinion.
You may want to develop an overwhelming consensus that is unassailable, despite your proof of the obvious. /s/s/s/s/ :\ LOL
Darn tootin.
They were lying to us then but are telling us the truth now, really.

Yup! In the chart above, some of the “sea level change” is from the coastline moving UP due to isostatic rebound of the land once a mile of ice had been removed.
But I expect to hear more and more about sea level change, and the need to eliminate industrial capitalism in favor of a global economic justice system of economics- especially now that the temperature hoax is being exposed.
This is a great article about sea level changes by a real expert. Only five pages too. Watch out! That next wave may be a silly millimeter higher. lol
And if they knew it was going to snow more during Global Warming (a flat out lie btw) then why did the UK MET office predict a mild winter for the UK ?
We shall see all kinds of excuses and revisions start to come forth. The goons must try to save face. And they will tell us nothing we cannot read in the hundreds of articles written over the past few years that show there is no global warming at present.
thanks Ernest
That way the "CO" on his forehead can be changed to read "CO2"
Cheers!
