Is The Truth About Global Warming Finally Emerging?
A group of prominent scientists is conducting an inquiry into the accuracy of temperature readings that are used to make predictions about global warming.
The inquiry was prompted by claims that official temperature measurements taken by three different organizations conflict dramatically.
Average temperatures were the highest recorded in a March since record keeping began in 1880, according to data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) sensor network. Yet readings taken by the Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) and the University of Alabama – also official readings — do not support that assertion, British journalist Christopher Booker wrote.
“Neither shows last month as anything like the hottest March on record, any more than they showed 2014 as ‘the hottest year ever,’” Booker wrote in Britain’s Daily Telegraph.
Manipulation of Data Alleged
Booker believes the disparities show that some of the temperature numbers might be doctored to support the global warming hypothesis. A London-based think tank, the Global Warming Policy Foundation, has launched “a major inquiry into the integrity of the official global surface temperature records,” Booker wrote.
The Foundation has put together what Booker calls “an international team of five distinguished scientists to carry out a full inquiry into just how far these manipulations of the data may have distorted our picture of what is really happening to global temperatures.” A sixth person will chair the panel.
