New “Climate Change” Shock: All Original Data “Thrown Away”
All the original data upon which the world’s leading “climate change” proponents drew their conclusions has been “thrown away” and is unable to be checked.
This shocking revelation has emerged on the eve of the Copenhagen “Climate Change Summit.” That meeting is likely to be little more than an anti-Western, and specifically anti-white, guilt hatefest which will see billions more taxpayers’ cash poured into the Third World.
According to reports, scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) have admitted that they have “thrown away” much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
The CRU is the world’s leading centre for reconstructing past climate and temperatures and has provided a large amount of the “scientific” underpinning of the climate change theory which essentially blames industrialised nations for what is claimed to be rising global temperatures.
The disposal of the data means that other scientists will not be able to check basic calculations which allegedly prove a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
The data was gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of certain variables. The “revised” data was kept, but the originals, which were stored on magnetic tape and in paper reports, were dumped.
This is the second serious blow to the CRU following last week’s leaking of thousands of emails and electronic notes from that institution which revealed in detail how figures had been falsified to promote the climate change theory.
The dumped data scandal was discovered when Professor Roger Pielke from the department of environmental studies at Colorado University asked for the originals to do his own calculations.
“The CRU is basically saying, ‘Trust us.’ So much for settling questions and resolving debates with science,” Professor Peilke was quoted as saying.
The data was used to justify the CRU’s claim that the world has warmed by 0.8C over the past 157 years. The CRU said this rise is “unequivocally” linked to greenhouse gas emissions generated by humans and this finding is one of the main pieces of evidence used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
