Met Office Uses Junk Temperature Measurements to Fill “World Treasure” 350-Year Temperature Record

Another good piece in the Daily Sceptic:

In Climate: The Movie, William Happer, the former physics professor at Princeton, describes the Central England Temperature (CET) record as a “world treasure” since it provides continuous recordings from 1659 – over 350 years. It shows a rise just over 1°C from the depths of the Little Ice Age to the present day. These days, the CET is under the control of the politicised Met Office, keen to catastrophise weather and climate in the interest of promoting Net Zero. Recent revisions have retrospectively cooled the near past and boosted readings from the last 20 years. In addition, the Daily Sceptic can reveal that two of the three measuring stations currently used to add to this scientific treasure are taken from near-junk class 4 sites that come with official ‘uncertainties’ of up to 2°C.

    The Met office has an important role to play in the continuing Climate Crisis/ Emergency/ Catastrophe/ Change. The very name adds gravitas to its pronunciations, it really must know what it is talking about as it’s the Met.Office, all those professors, doctoral experts, computers, hundreds of years of records, satellites measuring the weather ebbs and flows- if anyone knows anything about the weather it must be the Met.Office – except it is tainted by the need to go along with the “story” or lose its funding. So lies, more lies and the world is on fire.

      Measuring/recording to obtain the data is one thing. Interpreting it is quite another. The Met Office may be good at the former, but I doubt their competence at the latter.

     Professor Richard Betts, lead author and head of climate impacts, tweeted: “I suppose our paper does use big words like ‘temperature’ so maybe they had to get a grown-up to help”. “

    This person should be reassigned to the receiving room in the basement.

      Certainly a needlessly offensive response from a public servant. Of course we don’t have servants any more, do we? Public or otherwise.

    Can anybody explain how and why I acquired 82a72a4078 as part of my name? ‘Mike Jackson’ has worked well enough for me for the last 80 years!

      I did wonder!

        It only started when I signed up for email notifications of new posts. I blame WordPress, an organisation I have gradually come to loathe!

    To put into context the rank dishonesty of the Met Office here is an assessment of the 2022 Welsh “record” setting site at Hawarden from Tim Channon over on Tallbloke’s site way back in 2012

    Now here is the google image of the site from 2024

    You can clearly see the site was moved from a very poor site to an even worse one! Completely fraudulent data and quite deliberate.

    I spotted this slight of hand by the MetO a few days ago when I checked the mean temperature graph and noticed that the mean temp line had moved down to exaggerate the recent warming trend. They have also eliminated the marked reduction in the warming trend that has occurred over the past two decades. Now the MetO who were once a trusted source of information can no longer be trusted. Their data and output has been corrupted for political purposes. I saved the original 350 year instrumental mean temperature record graph in it’s because I felt that this would happen. The University of East Anglia has also played it’s part in corrupting the temperature data and won’t say who makes the decision about how much they adjust the temp data. They send you to the climate centre at Exeter and they send you back to the UEA. You don’t get answers, you simply go round in circles. twenty years ago I uncovered how they are exaggerating the mean temperature rise by direct adjustment and how the adjustment is covered up using the inverse of what everyone is made to believe and so if anyone looks for it they wont identify how the exaggeration is done unless they really understand the subject to the degree of depth necessary. They couldn’t pull the wool over my eyes but every so called journalist hasn’t a clue.
