Climate Observations: The Basis For The HADSST Discontinuity/Blip Corrections?
Emails from Phil Jones reveal that, in the new HADSST3 dataset, the dip and rebound from 1945 to 1955 will be biased upwards.

It seems clear to me that if a group (such as EPA) wanted to get an objective scientific judgment on climate change science, CRU et al., and therefore the IPCC, might be the last place that they would want to rely on. Each “trick” CRU et al used to torture the data they had to yield what appears to be their desired conclusions may have fooled a few more readers into thinking that their basic arguments were valid, but has to decrease the overall assessment of their objectivity.

In an email response, a representative from Senator Graham’s press office has stated the Senator’s position:

Here is what he [Senator Graham] said yesterday.
The real driver for me is energy independence,” Graham said. “There may be a debate among some about how much the planet’s heating up. There’s no debate by any American that we’re dependent on foreign oil way too much.”

The revelations are significant because the Hadley Center is no marginal outfit. It is among the most influential research organizations in the field whose work forms the basis of all official global warming reports, including those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.N. body that serves as the Vatican of global warming.

We might shrug this matter off as just scientists behaving badly except for the fact that the IPCC has based its massive program on their work and is calling for policies of emissions reduction which will wreck the world’s economies, all in the name of their elusive goal of stopping the temperature rise (which at the moment has stopped all by itself anyway). Our Congress is among many around the world where these policies are being seriously debated. If this current scandal should create serious doubt about the scientific basis of such advocacy, we may expect the political fate of climate bills to be even more doubtful than it is now.

People with legitimate scientific concerns should be able to express them, meteorology professor Jenni Evans said, but if they are neither skillful nor courageous enough to express them in the right forum, scientists are not going to take any notice.

"I think that people that have to stoop to deception and theft probably don't have strong ground to stand on," she said.
