Met Office Forced To Release Raw Data

After the “barbecue summer” washout and the mild winter that turned to deep freeze, the apparent inability of the Met Office to predict the weather has become something of a national joke. Now people will get the chance to find out just how easy forecasting actually is.

James Delingpole: Climategate 2.0 - WSJ.com

Last week, 5,000 files of private email correspondence among several of the world's top climate scientists were anonymously leaked onto the Internet.

Ever-worsening weather events lead to inescapable verdict on climate change - The Irish Times - Mon, Nov 28, 2011

The damage estimate in Connecticut alone from the unseasonal snowstorm that hit the northeast on October 29th has been put at $3 billion.

An incredible 32 inches (818mm) of snow was dumped on the area – by far the largest volume since a legendary snow hurricane in 1804.

...But Prof John Sweeney of NUI Maynooth, who has contributed to IPCC reports, said last month’s floods in the Dublin area were consistent with climate computer models.
