Australian meteorologists have been caught changing temperature data from two crucial weather stations. Would it surprise you to hear that they were altering the numbers to show warmer temperatures?
Agency officials admit that the problem with instruments recording low temperatures likely happened in several locations throughout Australia, but they refuse to admit to manipulating temperature readings. The BOM located missing logs in Goulburn and the Snow Mountains, both of which are in New South Wales.
Meteorologist Lance Pidgeon watched the 13 degrees Fahrenheit Goulburn recording from July 2 disappear from the bureau's website. The temperature readings fluctuated briefly and then disappeared from the government's website.
"The temperature dropped to minus 10 (13 degrees Fahrenheit), stayed there for some time and then it changed to minus 10.4 (14 degrees Fahrenheit) and then it disappeared," Pidgeon said, adding that he notified scientist Jennifer Marohasy about the problem, who then brought the readings to the attention of the bureau.
The bureau would later restore the original 13 degrees Fahrenheit reading after a brief question and answer session with Marohasy.
"The bureau's quality control system, designed to filter out spurious low or high values was set at minus 10 minimum for Goulburn which is why the record automatically adjusted," a bureau spokeswoman told reporters Monday. BOM added that there are limits placed on how low temperatures could go in some very cold areas of the country.

Wouldn’t want the facts to get in the way of “climate change” theory.
We’ve seen this with NASA and we’ve seen the NOAA ignore a subpoena for their data when their Karl study didn’t show the lack of warming from 1998 on. Getting people to investigate for themselves has proven extremely difficult, as many simply accept what they hear from the warming propagandists.
This all sounds trite until you realize the alarmist predict that a 2 degree change is calamitous. Bureaucratically they added one of those two degrees in this case.
Would you lie if your god said the ends justify the means? Sure you would. That’s the liberal’s god of this world.
Fortunately true God is not that way.
