I’m noticing a growing anger and frankly bewilderment as to how they continue to get away with so obviously breaking the law. More and more people not only accept it is happening but are quite prepared to openly talk about the criminal behaviour of the “troughers”. It surely must rank amongst one of the most blatant global criminal conspiracies of all time. If we in the UK had anti-racketeering legislation I would certainly be asking for a criminal investigation to start.
For the true believer, it is too awful to even consider that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology could be exaggerating global warming by adjusting figures. This doesn’t mean though, that it’s not true.
In fact, under Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a panel of eminent statisticians was formed to investigate these claims detailed in The Australian newspaper in August and September 2014. The panel did acknowledge in its first report that the Bureau homogenized the temperature data: that it adjusted figures.
…
Rutherglen is of course in north eastern Victoria, an agricultural research station with a continuous minimum temperature record unaffected by equipment changes or documented site-moves, but where the Bureau nevertheless adjusted the temperatures. This had the effect of turning a temperature time series without a statistically significant trend, into global warming of almost 2 degrees per Century.
