The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever
The Telegraph ^ | 02/07/15 | Christopher Booker

Posted on 02/08/2015 11:43:12 AM PST by amnestynone

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.

The heat island effect of temp measuring stations stations being surrounded by concrete and asphalt (increasingly over the years) CERTAINLY alone would show MEASURED temps increasing.
But anyone with an ounce of common sense would instantly know that is flawed data collections.
It matters not if someone has 3 Phd’s; bad data is bad data.

Isn’t global warming alarmism in the USA a free pass to get constitutionally indefensible federal funding now matter how taxpayer dollars received for such a purpose are actually spent?

We're in the age where the MSM is so corrupt, the fight for liberty needs to start against them
Hard to fight when such a large percentage of the (public school educated) population believes everything they spew out.
One only needs to watch FOX's Jessie Watters a few times to realize what deep trouble this country's future is in.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

So? Aren't they just doing it for our own good by protecting Mother Earth, and by extension us?

So what if a few eggs get broken? It will make a beautiful omelet!

From the false labor statistics to hijacking the name of Goddard to push false science, your government is now fully Sovietized fraud. Welcome to Maidan America.

As Dr Carson said on Fox today, we have to balance the risk against the benefit.

The basic question is who does the balancing? Clearly Congress cannot evaluate the risk/benefit ratio of each vaccine. So do government scientists at the CDC make the decision? The same scientists who can’t protect their own shop from contamination and bogus information?

At the other extreme, can the parent make the decision for children with no consultaton of a doctor?

This is not limited to vaccines. Who makes the cost/benefit decision about seat-belts? Who makes the cost/benefit decision about forcing all cars to have ABS brakes?

I raise these examples because an analysis of ABS brake data shows conclusively that they save many lives and save much money on fender benders...most of that being savings of the deductible amount of insurance. Thus ABS brakes risk/benefit is clearly on the benefit side.

In contrast, using exactly the same type of analysis for seatbelts shows the benefit is so small it can’t be statistically measured..it is smaller than the margin of error.

And it happened that on FOX today Dr Carson used Seat Belts as his scientifically and statistically good example of government making the risk/benefit decision.

Dr Carson did not know his facts. That type of appealing to urban legends like seat belt benefit will come back to bite him when the media turns on him, which they will as soon as his 4th place presence forces the 5th and 6th place wannabes out of the race.

Drudge has this as his Sunday headline. Hoping it really makes some inroads into society.

We are being grubered.

Here is the UN recently admitting the reason for climate change is for global economic wealth distribution.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3255139/posts

The United Nation’s top climate change official Christiana Figueres announced this week that the group is actively working to “intentionally transform” the world’s economic development model, a task she called the “most difficult” one the group has ever undertaken.

“This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history,” UNFCCC Executive Secretary Figueres stated at a press conference in Brussels Tuesday.

The “intentional” reordering of the global economy, she told reporters, “will not happen overnight” due to the “depth of the transformation”:

“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.”

Just yesterday I shoveled 3 feet of global bs off my roof because we have another 18 inches on the way. I am 63,and I have never had to shovel that much snow off my roof. AGW predicts less snowfall and while I know the difference between weather and climate the age idiots are claiming this years heavy snowfall is because of AGW. Unfalsifiable crap by crapists.

The NOAA also revised some data from magnetic north positions.

I agree with your post 100%. I would like to add that no true scientist considers anything scientific to be settled.

Scientific theories are just hypotheses that tend to be supported by observations. However, true scientists continually search for exceptions. There is no consensus nor are there absolutes. Even Einsein has been shown to be incorrect in some of his theories.

Again...this is why every Freeper needs to be on Facebook. You need to share these stories on your timeline. It's the fastest way now to get a story out there. The MSM will never print or air it...and a lot of your friends and family will never see these stories unless you put it out there for them.

Using social media for activism is a two-way street.
