NOAA Scientists Manipulated Temperature Data
NOAA Scientists Manipulated Temperature Data To Make Global Warming Seem Worse
A whistleblower says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) rushed a landmark study claiming the planet was warming much faster than expected in order to influence international climate negotiations.Dr. John Bates, the former principal scientist at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., told the Daily Mail NOAA’s 2015 study was meant “to discredit the notion of a global warming hiatus and rush to time the publication of the paper to influence national and international deliberations on climate policy.”
Bates said NOAA scientists made a “blatant attempt to intensify the impact” of global warming to eliminate the “pause” in temperature rise since 1998. The Daily Mail claims Bates showed it “irrefutable” evidence NOAA’s study relied on “unverified” data.Bates’ objections to the paper were ignored by his superiors, who let scientists make “decisions and scientific choices that maximised warming and minimised documentation” in advance of a major United Nations climate summit in Paris, France.
Climate scientist Judith Curry, formerly of Georgia Tech, wrote at the time that NOAA excluded extremely accurate sea buoy data in order to erase the hiatus in warming.Curry wrote that it “seems rather ironic, since this is the period where there is the greatest coverage of data with the highest quality of measurements — ARGO buoys and satellites don’t show a warming trend.”
But the Karl study may have had deeper problems.It was based on two “flawed” temperature datasets, Bates told The Daily Mail.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 Daily Mail learned.NOAA’s revised data will show “lower temperatures and a slower rate in the recent warming trend.”

Oh give it up man.
Climate change is accepted science whether you believe in it or not.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: NOAA Scientists Manipulated Temperature Data
Whether the data was manipulated or not is speculation. That NOAA appears to now believe the basis of the Karl Report was not accurate is a good thing in that science needs to be always based on repeatable scientific data.
You WILL NOTICE if you read the article is that it is NOT saying we are not still warming but rather it only states that NOAA is stating as a result of adjusted data will “lower temperatures and a slower rate in the recent warming trend.”

Re: NOAA Scientists Manipulated Temperature Data
Ok, let's suppose the climate change rate is a bit slower than anticipated. Now what?
How about this: You've been diagnosed with lung cancer. The first diagnosis predicts it is spreading faster than it really is based on new evidence that indicates it's not spreading as fast as initially thought. Now what do you want to do? Light up a cigarette, kick back, relax, and think about it.

Good observation.
The "whistleblower" did not state that climate was not occurring.
The whistleblower alleged that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) rushed a landmark study claiming the planet was warming much faster than expected in order to influence international climate negotiations.
The idea of a hiatus in warming is a largely irrelevant issue that has become a darling of climate deniers desperate to throw anything against the wall in the hopes that it will stick. New data has been collected that suggests that this hiatus was brief, if it occurred at all.
