UK Telegraph on new climategate: ‘Fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever’
Homewood has now turned his attention to the weather stations across much of the Arctic, between Canada (51 degrees W) and the heart of Siberia (87 degrees E). Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded. This has surprised no one more than Traust Jonsson, who was long in charge of climate research for the Iceland met office (and with whom Homewood has been in touch). Jonsson was amazed to see how the new version completely “disappears” Iceland’s “sea ice years” around 1970, when a period of extreme cooling almost devastated his country’s economy.
One of the first examples of these “adjustments” was exposed in 2007 by the statistician Steve McIntyre, when he discovered a paper published in 1987 by James Hansen, the scientist (later turned fanatical climate activist) who for many years ran Giss. Hansen’s original graph showed temperatures in the Arctic as having been much higher around 1940 than at any time since. But as Homewood reveals in his blog post, “Temperature adjustments transform Arctic history”, Giss has turned this upside down. Arctic temperatures from that time have been lowered so much that that they are now dwarfed by those of the past 20 years.…
New York Times Dupes Readers – Hypes climate poll by discredited Stanford Pollster Jon Krosnick – Pollster previously reprimanded for poor methods by both Gallup & Pew Research
NYT cites GOP voter who claims ‘A tree fell on my house’ due to global warming to hype new poll – American Thinker analyzes new NYT/Stanford poll: If the “statistics” didn’t convince you, the New York Times followed up with a personal anecdote from a “Republican” voter. Aliza Strauss, a Republican homemaker in Teaneck, N.J., said in a follow-up interview that climate change had affected her personally and she was concerned about the effect of climate change in coming years. “A tree fell on my house during Hurricane Sandy, and in the future, it might be worse,” she said. Aliza Strauss felt that global warming caused a tree to fall on her home. What is the connection there? And before this supposed period of global warming, trees never fell on homes? How many people do you think the Times had to interview to find this one ignorant supposed Republican? …Jason Becker, a self-identified independent and stay-at-home father in Ocoee, Fla., said that although climate change was not his top concern, a candidate who questioned global warming would seem out of touch. I thought this was an article about Republicans? I guess they couldn’t find a second Republican to agree with Aliza Strauss.
Analysis of NYT/Stanford climate poll analysis: ‘Cook up a poll, produce results they like, and then use it as a club to make whatever they want’ – American Thinker analyzes new NYT/Stanford poll: ‘The New York Times has a breathless announcement: Most Republicans Back Climate Action! Except, it’s not most Republicans; by the Time’s own numbers, it’s only 48%, and even that number is very suspect…This is the classic way that the Left shifts public opinion; they cook up a poll, produce results they like, and then use it as a club to make whatever they want. They can get the results they like either by leading questions, asking unrepresentative samples, or just by plain making things up.
The poll was conducted by the New York Times (Left bias), Stanford University (Left bias), and “the nonpartisan environmental research group Resources for the Future”. How many “nonpartisan” environmental groups do you know? The questions were of the nature of: “If nothing is done to reduce global warming in the future, how serious of a problem do you think it will be for the United States?” … This question is biased because it presumes there is global …
