» The Top Twelve Faux Media Scares of the Past Decade - Big Journalism

1. Global Warming!

Began sometime after the global cooling threat stopped. This is the granddaddy of all faux threats. This threat works, except the planet is actually cooling. This threat also makes brilliant scientific minds like Bill Clinton say things like, “global warming could make some places colder.” Then you had the e-mails from scientists trying to cover-up the fraud and the other “scientists” who trashed their data because their hard drives were full in their old offices. What scientist trashes their data because they say they didn’t have room to store it? Have the scientists never been to Costco? You can get an external hard drive that can hold 750 gigs of data for under a hundred bucks ($60.00 with the coupon). Buy one or two of those and you could save all those temps from the Dark Ages that you worked your entire life to find (did the Visigoths carry thermometers in their sheaths?). You only trash the data if you don’t want the data to get out there and if it does not support your theories.

GHCN – GIStemp Interactions – The Bolivia Effect « Musings from the Chiefio

One Small Problem. There has not been any thermometer data in GHCN since 1990.

None. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Empty Set.

So just how can it be so Hot Hot Hot! in Bolivia if there is NO data?

Easy. GIStemp “makes it up” from “nearby” thermometers up to 1200 km away. So what is within 1200 km of Bolivia? The beaches of Peru and the Amazon Jungle.
...
How about all that Red in the Arctic? Well, no surprise, there are no thermometers up there. Yes, all that red across the top is fiction. It is called “estimation” based on ice estimates and “interpolation” and even “the reference station method” but in the end it all comes down to “just made up”.

It would be particularly...: 7 Jan 2010: House of Commons debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)

[Nicholas Winterton (Macclesfield, Conservative)] It would be particularly appropriate at this time to have a topical debate on the Met Office, which costs taxpayers about £200 million a year. Surely it is time to stop treating the serial inaccuracy of the Met Office's forecasts as just a joke. It has become a scandal; it looks as if it has been hijacked by the climate change lobby. May we have a topical debate very soon on the subject?
