Hot denials

THE National Oceanic and atmospheric administration report that 2015 was the second hottest year on record (Mail) is untrue.

It depends on terrestrial groundbased temperature data that is compromised. Data from the UK Met Office Hadley Centre and the University of East anglia Climatic Research Unit, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the North Carolina National Climatic Data Center has been altered to give the impression the Earth is warming up.

Data found by scientists at the University of alabama, Huntsville, shows that 1998 and 2010 were warmer than 2015, which had an average global temperature of a statistically insignificant 0.27 deg celsius above average, largely due to the Pacific El Nino — a natural occurrence.

Every non-adjusted data set shows that most of the supposedly hottest years occurred before the fifties, with 1921, 1931 and 1934 being the three hottest. as for wet months, UK Met Office records going back to 1776 show the wettest December in England and Wales was in 1876 and the wettest month was October 1903.

as a result of the interference with ground-based temperature recording bodies, the Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC), a world leader in climate prediction, has abandoned these three data sets and will rely only on University of alabama and Royal Statistical Society satellite measurements, neither of which shows any global warming.

SSRC has accused the U.S. government climate bodies, NOAA and Nasa, and President Obama, of deceiving the public over the true status of the earth’s climate. It says: ‘Until scientific integrity is restored to the White House and in the rest of the federal government, we will be forced to rely solely on satellite data.’
