Dr. John Bates spent 40 years in meteorology and climate science, many of those years working for NOAA. In 2014, according to the UK Daily Mail, Barack Obama awarded Bates a medal for “setting new, supposedly binding standards ‘to produce and preserve climate data records’.”
Yet when it came to the paper timed to influence the Paris conference, Dr. Bates said, these standards were flagrantly ignored.
(UK Daily Mail) The Mail on Sunday today reveals astonishing evidence that the organisation that is the world’s leading source of climate data rushed to publish a landmark paper that exaggerated global warming and was timed to influence the historic Paris Agreement on climate change.
A high-level whistleblower has told this newspaper that America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) breached its own rules on scientific integrity when it published the sensational but flawed report, aimed at making the maximum possible impact on world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015.
This scenario sounds familiar.
In the run up to the Paris Climate Cult Confab the powers that be cranked out as many reports as they could expressing dire predictions in hopes that these ‘scientific’ reports would tweak a majority of the conference into the desired action: A permanent global funding mechanism for alarmist research.
NOAA wasn’t the only group publishing to pimp for Paris, which we know was more about economics than man’s supposed impact on the weather.
(IBD) At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
Most supporters fail to realize that Global Warming, aka; climate change has never been about climate.
Carbon taxes are not meant to reduce emissions they are intended to raise money and the power that comes with it; redistributed to whomever the political class deems worthy. It is a scheme to give bureaucrats power over not just behavior but the means of production.
The Paris Climate confab was the global elites’ latest facade. To support them the media flooded the globe with “research” and ‘data,’ reports, remarks, and white papers all meant to give the stated purpose legitimacy. And many believed.
And now, along comes a very brave man (asking to be pilloried by the legacy media and Climate Cult leaders) to point out that NOAA/NASA (and company) is more interested in the political outcome of their “research” than actual science, a point that is the main plank in the denier platform.
NOAA’s 2015 ‘Pausebuster’ paper was based on two new temperature sets of data – one containing measurements of temperatures at the planet’s surface on land, the other at the surface of the seas.burned at the
Both datasets were flawed. This newspaper has learnt that NOAA has now decided that the sea dataset will have to be replaced and substantially revised just 18 months after it was issued, because it used unreliable methods which overstated the speed of warming. The revised data will show both lower temperatures and a slower rate in the recent warming trend.
The land temperature dataset used by the study was afflicted by devastating bugs in its software that rendered its findings ‘unstable’.
To Climate Cult acolytes this means nothing. It doesn’t matter. Being wrong about has never mattered so this will be no different. Getting caught manipulating data is no more persuasive than being busted for hiding the decline, blocking contrary papers, or driving disagreeable peers out of the profession. But to a growing number of Climate agnostics and other fence-sitters, this may be an added weight that makes them side with the heretics.
That makes me smile.
