New Zealand Climate Scientists Admit To Faking Temperatures: The Actual Temps Show Little Warming Over Last 50 Years

Written by C3 Headlines.

Cartoon_-_Climate_Science

Read here and here. Climate "scientists" across the world have been blatantly fabricating temperatures in hopes of convincing the public and politicians that modern global warming is unprecedented and accelerating.

The scientists doing the fabrication are usually employed by the government agencies or universities, which thrive and exist on taxpayer research dollars dedicated to global warming research. A classic example of this is the New Zealand climate agency, which is now admitting their scientists produced bogus "warming" temperatures for New Zealand.

"NIWA makes the huge admission that New Zealand has experienced hardly any warming during the last half-century. For all their talk about warming, for all their rushed invention of the “Eleven-Station Series” to prove warming, this new series shows that no warming has occurred here since about 1960. Almost all the warming took place from 1940-60, when the IPCC says that the effect of CO2 concentrations was trivial. Indeed, global temperatures were falling during that period.....Almost all of the 34 adjustments made by Dr Jim Salinger to the 7SS have been abandoned, along with his version of the comparative station methodology."

As far as I can tell there is no basis in fact for this story. It seems to come from a press release from a denier group. Just go to the NIWA web site.

www.niwa.co.nz/news-and-publications/news/all/7-station-series-review

“I am not surprised that this internationally peer reviewed 2010 report of the seven station temperature series has confirmed that NIWA’s science was sound. It adds to the scientific knowledge that shows that New Zealand’s temperature has risen by about 0.9 degrees over the past 100 years” Mr Morgan said.

Aren't you a skeptic Ralph? Don't you question both sides and demand to see evidence of a claim? Where, Ralph, is the evidence that the NIWA has _admitted_ to faking a warming trend?

I'll put my beliefs in AGW/climate change/climate disruption like this. If I was afraid of a hot climate I wouldn't have moved to Florida from Indiana, and considering Florida just gained 1 congressional seat and New York just lost one I assume there are other people who think like I do.

NIWA: New Zealand's leading provider of atmospheric and aquatic science and associated commercial services.

Denier group?

It has been clearly established that the New Zealand raw data does not show warming. It is odd that the reported adjusted data showed New Zealand warming faster than any other place on the planet. It was just too radical to be true. As there is no other evidence or symptoms in New Zealand of warming, the only thing warming is on paper.

It is clearly obvious that the NCDC, GISS, and CRU take the raw data and, in the name of "adjusting" (for the urban heat island effect, probably), ADD temperature, rather than subtract some. Furthermore, they find totally unfounded and specious reasons to go into the archived data and make the first half of the 1900s colder so that recent years look warmer. [These adjustments are just simply cheating.]

These are dishonest "adjustments" of data which clearly does not show warming, in some cases, for 50 years and in most cases for the last 15 years. The raw data also clearly and always shows that the 1930s were significantly warmer than our recent warm period.

The people making these false "adjustments" are not scientists, but scam artists performing illegal acts which result in policy decisions which kill. The biofuels initiative has killed many thousands so far by significantly raising the cost of grains and food in general such that people in poor countries cannot afford to buy food. This is criminal, particularly as biofuels have a bigger "carbon footprint" than oil.

MInimize the sources all you want, we know that the data has been adulterated and it is easy to prove, and has been proven in many instances, even New Zealand 2 years ago.

This story was reported in mainstream press around the world. The failure of NIWA was that they placed their temperature sensors next to air conditioner exhaust vents and the temperature records were badly inaccurate and extremely warm, they claimed it was a mistake. So technically their science was sound, they just didn't sample properly or report it properly till the press got wind of their failure.

The C3 Headlines article is just a headline as advertised. More details can be found here:

Climate Science Coalition Vindicated
NIWA has abandoned the official national temperature record and created a new one following sustained pressure from the NZ Climate Science Coalition and the Climate Conversation Group.

The scoops article is just a recapitulation on the NW Climate Science Coalition press release. Scoops did not contact the NIWA or do any independent reporting. The two sources given by C3 are just blogs that link back to the same Scoops piece. This is called an echo chamber because it give the illusion of independent sources confirming the same story when it fact all we have is a press release from a group in denial about our changing climate.

Read the NIWA web site to see what they about about their data and how it is interpreted.

This issue does seem a little overstated. There is some history where the Climate Coalition pointed out some shortcuts taken by NIWA:
NIWA loses, opts for fresh start

The Raw Data:

NIWA Adjusted data:

However, the so called "peer review" does not even seem to be completed so NIWA's claimed vindication looks premature. For example the error/reliability hasn't been reported yet. I expect some more surprises before this story ends.

The raw data shows no increase in temperature. NIWA has continually altered the data, sometimes multiple times, to show an increase. This is indeed fraud, and it well known so throughout meteorological circles.
