First we had Al Gore airbrushing in hurricanes in his new book, now we have real scientists air brushing out “inconvenient” global temperature history. A lot has been made about the e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia that imply leading IPCC scientists, including Penn State’s Michael Mann used tricks to “hide the decline” but it goes a lot further than just e-mails. The source code used to generate alarming temperature diagrams in the IPCC reports is far more telling of what clearly is becoming the greatest scientific fraud in history!
The 1st IPCC U.N. global warming report in 1990 acknowledged there was a Medieval Warm Period here on Earth from about 1000 to 1300 AD (warmer than today) and also acknowledged there was a little Ice Age from 1400 to 1900 AD. This is the chart in the first IPCC Report (Figure 7C).
But that warm period would later become a problem for IPCC as it brings into doubt whether the current warm cycle is man-made or a naturally occurring cycle. So, in version 3 of the IPCC report in 2001 both the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age were not airbrushed out but rather using computer programs to smooth out the problem period (Medieval Warm Period) so as to make the current warm period look really bad and unprecedented (see chart below that came from chapter 2 page 134 IPCC report 3)
As more and more analysis is being done on the e-mails but more importantly the programming code/data out of the East Anglia University data sets shows how these so called scientists used ”tricks” that appear fraudulently conceived to “fudge” the data. Here’s a very small snip it of the code that was used to generate the revised global temperature chart to make it look a lot more scary than reality. This code creates an artificial 2.5C bias at the end of the infamous “hockey stick” chart that’s not valid since it wasn’t applied to the previous 1,000 years of history. If it had been, as it should have been, the global temperature record would look a lot more like the first chart in 1990.
valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,-0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor
yearlyadj=interpol(valadj,yrloc,x)
densall=densall+yearlyadj
ClimateGate is just the tip of the iceberg as there are many “tricks” that have been used in U.S. government data sets to change one part of history and not the other to make declines in sea ice for example look more exaggerated or unprecedented than they really are.
Dilbert got it right – when in doubt MAKE IT UP!
