And I think they’re realizing people are saying, you know, you draw it like this (going sharply up – HS), but this is one degree. That’s not much. And they’re worried: this is not getting people worried enough. So they’re saying: well, showing them a flood, showing them a storm, that would be visually convincing,” he says. And as it happens, there are always places on Earth that suffer from extreme weather in a way that occurs only once in a hundred years. “And people don’t figure it out that a once in a hundred years event is occurring some place on Earth every month, or five places every month. You have a picture of that. You now put that on television and you can associate ‘climate change’ with something dramatic,” Lindzen says. “The fact that they had to go to that to convince people suggests it was a fake issue because they’re clearly using something that would be normally called false advertising,” he adds.

Met Office blaast metingen maximumtemperatuur in het VK op
Het onderstaande artikel van Chris Morrison laat overtuigend zien dat de betrouwbaarheid van temperatuurmetingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk ernstig te wensen overlaat. Op basis van gedetailleerd onderzoek toont dr. Eric Huxter aan dat een groot deel van de gemeten temperatuurpieken niet het gevolg is van natuurlijke variatie, maar van onnatuurlijke invloeden op slecht geplaatste meetstations. Dit werpt fundamentele vragen op over de kwaliteit van de onderliggende data die worden gebruikt voor klimaatrapportages en beleidskeuzes.
