Met Office to look at more information in forecasts after 'barbecue summer' - Telegraph
Julia Slingo, Chief Scientist at the Met Office, said the national weather service had let the public get the wrong message when it predicted a "barbecue" summer earlier this year and then revised the forecast when July and August turned out to be wet.

She also said the Met Office got "a lot of the communication wrong" this winter by predicting a mild winter before heavy snowfall brought much of the country to a standstill.

Paul Driessen : Disclosing the Real Risks on Climate Change - Townhall.com
Michael Mann’s “hockey stick” graph and ClimateGate email scandals have metastasized into a tsunami of revelations that have besmirched the IPCC’s credibility and its role as dominant arbiter on matters of energy and climate. Manipulated and missing temperature data. Doctored computer models and disaster scenarios. Alarmist scientists rejecting any studies that dissent from climate catastrophe claims. Headline-grabbing disaster “studies” about melting glaciers and parched rainforests based on rank speculation or written by World Wildlife Fund activists. “Mann-made” climate change, indeed.

No wonder they enjoy Pachauri.
