Dr John Bates' disclosures about the manipulation of data behind
the so-called 'Pausebuster' paper is the biggest scientific scandal
since 'Climategate' in 2009 when, as Britain's Daily Mail reported,
thousands of leaked emails revealed scientists were trying to block
access to data, and using a 'trick' to conceal embarrassing flaws
in their claims about global warming.
Britain's Mail on Sunday today revealed 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.
The report claimed that the ‘pause’ or ‘slowdown’ in global warming
in the period since 1998 – revealed by UN scientists in 2013 –
never existed, and that world temperatures had been rising faster
than scientists expected. Launched by NOAA with a public relations
fanfare, it was splashed across the world’s media, and cited
repeatedly by politicians and policy makers.
But the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an
impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable
evidence that the paper was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data.
It was never subjected to NOAA’s rigorous internal evaluation
process – which Dr Bates devised.
His vehement objections to the publication of the faulty data were
overridden by his NOAA superiors in what he describes as a ‘blatant
attempt to intensify the impact’ of what became known as the
Pausebuster paper.
In an exclusive interview, Dr Bates accused the lead author of the
paper, Thomas Karl, who was until last year director of the NOAA
section that produces climate data – the National Centers for
Environmental Information (NCEI) – of ‘insisting on decisions and
scientific choices that maximised warming and minimised
documentation… in an effort to discredit the notion of a global
warming pause, rushed so that he could time publication to
influence national and international deliberations on climate
policy’.
The scandal has disturbing echoes of the ‘Climategate’ affair which
broke shortly before the UN climate summit in 2009, when the leak
of thousands of emails between climate scientists suggested they
had manipulated and hidden data. Some were British experts at the
influential Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia.
His disclosures are likely to stiffen President Trump’s
determination to enact his pledges to reverse his predecessor’s
‘green’ policies, and to withdraw from the Paris deal – so
triggering an intense political row.
As The Mail continues, whatever takes its place, said Dr Bates,
"there needs to be a fundamental change to the way NOAA deals with
data so that people can check and validate scientific results. I’m
hoping that this will be a wake-up call to the climate science
community – a signal that we have to put in place processes to make
sure this kind of crap doesn’t happen again.
"I want to address the systemic problems. I don’t care whether
modifications to the datasets make temperatures go up or down. But
I want the observations to speak for themselves, and for that,
there needs to be a new emphasis that ethical standards must be
maintained."
He said he decided to speak out after seeing reports in papers
including the Washington Post and Forbes magazine claiming that
scientists feared the Trump administration would fail to maintain
and preserve NOAA’s climate records.
Dr Bates said: "How ironic it is that there is now this idea that
Trump is going to trash climate data, when key decisions were
earlier taken by someone whose responsibility it was to maintain
its integrity – and failed."
NOAA not only failed, but it effectively mounted a cover-up when
challenged over its data.
After the paper was published, the US House of Representatives
Science Committee launched an inquiry into its Pausebuster claims.
NOAA refused to comply with subpoenas demanding internal emails
from the committee chairman, the Texas Republican Lamar Smith, and
falsely claimed that no one had raised concerns about the paper
internally.
Last night Mr Smith thanked Dr Bates "for courageously stepping
forward to tell the truth about NOAA’s senior officials playing
fast and loose with the data in order to meet a politically
predetermined conclusion".
He added: "The Karl study used flawed data, was rushed to
publication in an effort to support the President’s climate change
agenda, and ignored NOAA’s own standards for scientific study."
Professor Curry, now the president of the Climate Forecast
Applications Network, said last night: ‘Large adjustments to the
raw data, and substantial changes in successive dataset versions,
imply substantial uncertainties.’
It was time, she said, that politicians and policymakers took these
uncertainties on board.

While there IS human-augmented GW, the nasty truth

is that GW is mostly part of the leftist plan to ruin the
1st-world nations - undermining their industries and
options as so to make 3rd-world dictatorial shitholes
"more equal".
I've always found it interesting how much lefties LOVE
those 3rd-world dictatorial shitholes ... countries which,
if "more equal", would put the lefties up against the wall
ahead of anyone else. :-)
