The Greatest Scientific Fraud of all Time

A friend advises me that Francis Menton is a high powered Manhattan attorney (Australians: read lawyer) who typically deals with clients who have $100 MILLION dollar legal problems.

When my friend asked Menton what he would do if my friend came to him with just a $100 thousand dollar problem.  "We would find you another attorney," he replied!

OK! So Francis Menton has written a series in the MANHATTAN CONTRARIAN under the headline:

The Greatest Scientific Fraud of all Time

The following is from part XVII of the series.

Just keep your eyes open for more and more examples of tampering with and manipulation of the world temperature record to enhance the "global warming" narrative, and it seems that you will have no problem coming up with an endless supply.  One of the best recent examples comes from Australia.  

Dr Jennifer Marohasy is another friend who has been attacking the AGW fraud for years. She edited the recently published Climate change The Facts 2017

Francis Menton continues:

Australia is blessed with a small band of sharp-eyed skeptics who have made a mission out of trying to keep their crooked government bureaucrats honest.  Two of the leading lights are Jennifer Marohasy and Joanne Nova.  As Marohasy states in a recent post, "I suffer . . . from a propensity to always check things."  So back in early July, Marohasy was checking on some very cold readings recorded in the mountains of Australia -- readings colder than -10 deg C, which is the same as 14 deg F.  (Remember that July is winter in Australia,)  And she stumbled on the fact that, somewhere along the line, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology had put in place some supposed "quality control" technology in their weather stations that would automatically reject valid low temperature readings as spurious.  As reported by Marohasy on July 5: 

[W]hen the weather station at Goulburn recorded -10.4 on Sunday morning – the Bureau’s ‘quality control system’, ‘designed to filter out spurious low or high values’ reset this value to -10.0.  To be clear, the actual measured value of -10.4 was ‘automatically adjusted’ so that it recorded as -10.0 in the key CDO dataset. 

Huh?  By the way, if 0.4 deg C does not sound like a lot to you, remember that our temperature overlords regularly declare with the loudest possible megaphone that new world temperature records have been set by amounts well less than 0.1 deg C.

Isn't it amazing that defrauding the data in one weather station has  ricocheted around the world ?

• BoM faces storm over weather data inaccuracies there really was a problem
• BOM caught out with fake temperatures
• Another BOM scandal: Australian climate data is being destroyed as routine practice
• American Thinker: Australian Temperatures readings drop after Minister orders 'fix.'
• Shock News : BOM Caught Tampering With Temperature Data
• Australia Weather Bureau Caught Tampering With Climate Numbers

There are many more examples. Just put "jennifer marohasy bom temperature" into your browser.

If there really was a problem, there would be no need for the authorities to falsify data. If they were subject to audit, like enlisted companies are, they would be in jail (gaol).

Energy & Environmental Newsletter - 5/9/17

Energy & Environmental Newsletter - 5/9/17

AWED Friends: The newest edition of the Energy and Environmental Newsletter is now online (a day later than normal, due to yesterday being Labor Day in the US).  A major recent development was the much anticipated US DOE Report. Although there were good parts, I thought it could have been much stronger. These are my observations. Other good commentaries are: here, here, here, here, and here. BTW, longtime readers know that one of my key themes is that lobbyists (e.g. AWEA) have an inordinate influence on our energy and environmental policies. Watch this TV interview (of the author of the new book “The Business of America is Lobbying”) — who makes some great points that directly apply to our situation. This Newsletter also has a special section on Hurricane Harvey — with several articles dispelling the claim that this is a global warming event. Here is a good article about helping these unfortunate people. I recommend a donation to an established charity, with low operating expenses — like this. Some of the more interesting energy articles in this issue are: Study: New York's climate goal — staggering costs, no benefits A Review of the Regional Green Gas Initiative (RGGI) Study: Wind turbines reduce the productivity of nearby agriculture The True Cost of Solar Electricity Hidden consequences of intermittent electricity production Integrating the supposed "social cost of carbon" into wholesale power markets MIT: Researchers Announce Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough The Footprint of Energy: Land Use of U.S. Electricity Production Scientific American spoofed on wind energy Some of the more informative Global Warming articles in this issue are: Taking politics out of climate science An Inconvenient Deception: How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy Sea Level Rise Manipulation Naomi Oreskes: VooDoo Scholarship President scraps federal climate change advisory panel Computer Program: 'Global warming not caused by humans' Study proves that the Earth has a natural thermostat John Droz, jr. physicist & citizen advocate PS: Our intention is to put some balance into what most people see from the mainstream media about energy and environmental issues... As always, please pass this on to open-minded citizens, and on your social media sites. If there are others who you think would benefit from being on our energy & environmental email list, please let me know. If at any time you'd like to be taken off the list, simply send me an email saying that. PPS: I am not an attorney, so no material appearing in any of the Newsletters (or our WiseEnergy.org website) should be construed as giving legal advice. My recommendation has always been: consult a competent attorney when you are involved with legal issues.
