So that’s how they convince everyone that the world will end tomorrow and it’s your fault…
You’d at least expected the Met office to tell the truth, it just makes you wonder how many other respected establishments have been telling lies or massaging the truth. Probably the Office of National Statistics for one…In their favour though, they are only as good as the human input, even though those same humans want to deceive you…

The only problem with your assumption is that a few mysterious weather stations on a European island don’t explain why the temperatures in all the oceans around Australia are something like a degree hotter than they have ever been.

I love that on another thread there is an exchange about the reliability of different news channels. And you rely on the “Daily Sceptic”. They have discovered a story. Now, to test the veracity of this story, let us consider the content. Some weather stations are not working. What’s the problem? For me - none. But for some, it seems, this is a clear set of evidence that the climate crisis is made up. Ok. So please tell me which of the below stations are not working. That is the easy question. The more tricky question is - if the met was providing “made up” numbers for specific stations, then how does that negate the overall picture? I’ve provided a list of all weather stations so that you can tell me which ones were not true.

Foxy, are you trying to suggest there is something “Fishy” about Michael

Stop making excuses for the met office Lincs, they have been lying and estimating readings on over one third of all the worlds weather stations and then they go and use that ‘estimated’ information to do some computer modelling…Eeeek! The planet is going to burn up and disintegrate in the next ten years if all the people in the UK don’t buy an electric car and turn their central heating down a degree or two…
Back in the eighties weren’t we going to be entering a new ice age?
First it was global cooling…
Then it was global warming…
And because people saw through that whopper, they altered it to ‘Climate Change’ which we all know is not, and never has been static…
And why do all the weather maps on forecasts now show 20 degrees C in red when it was only when the temperature got to 30 C that they showed the scorched earth symbols…
You would have to be blind not to see that you are being fooled…Just join up the dots Lincs…
Not my assumption at all Bruce, some journalist who as actually taken great pains to uncover what most of us already knew. You know like Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward who uncovered the ‘Watergate Scandal’ …
Are you sure that all the oceans around Australia are one degree (or something) hotter?
And by saying “Hotter than they have Ever Been” since when ? And how long have we had the technology to measure temperature accurately? So shall we say “ever been” probably means in the last 100 years?
The oceans will have to warm up by another ten degrees before I will consider going for a dip

The article referred to weather stations in the UK. So not “all of the worlds weather stations”. Try to keep your wild exaggerations in check please.
Nowhere does it say that the UK readings are used for anything other than reporting local weather and predicting local weather. Yes computers are used to predict local weather. But global climate change computer modelling won’t worry about readings a few miles apart.
So the only question here is why are you and this fake news Daily Sceptic web site trying to make a link between a few retired UK weather stations and global environmental predictions?
I’m not “making excuses” for anyone. But you are making unfounded links and claims … because?
A lovely thought,
nothing like a dip in fermenting sewage…
So we just ignore the things you don’t agree with Lincs?
Here is your starter lesson
No, that is not my point. My comments are specifically that we don’t get overly excited by inconsequential things. We also do not try to make unjustified claims based on paltry, irrelevant issues. Here, this story tells us nothing about the data and modelling that is being used to demonstrate climate change. But you seem to claim it does. Why?
What happened, I think, is that you read an article that chimes with your scepticism. So you posted it, coz you liked its message, and you then extrapolated a possible consequence from this article even though there was no basis for this extrapolation. I’m not ignoring that.
It’s not just about this revelation though is it Lincs. It’s the constant drip drip drip of propaganda by the met office, nature programmes and even soaps and adverts on the telly telling us what a poor state the world has become and it’s all our fault. I used to love natural history programmes with David Attenborough, but it always ends up with same old mantra about how man is destroying the planet and the habitat of wildlife, as if the common man can do anything about it And yet we still delve deeper and deeper into the earths resources to power our transport, furnish our homes, transport food and goods thousands of miles, fill the oceans and wild spaces with turbines and solar panels where a single power station would have done the job, and without a thought of the pollution and damage it does to our planet.
Here in the UK they are wasting public money propping up foreign wars and financing projects like HS2 that will benefit the few wealthy businessmen, wouldn’t the money be better spent on building power stations that will benefit the masses by producing cheaper energy, something we are all going to need in the future in our quest to make everything electric. They waste public money and then put the blame on climate change and foreign wars (which we are helping to sustain) so every opportunity they tell us that industry is causing climate change and waste no opportunity to shove it down our throat in just about everything we read or watch even to the point of inventing temperature variations, other statistics, and bad science to try and justify their mishandling of public money. The amount of money wasted by incompetent governments of any political party in the UK is unforgivable and the sooner people wake up to that fact, the sooner we can start putting things right in this country.
Unfortunately this is not my UK anymore and with a defective heart I don’t intend spending the time I have left trying to wake people up to what is happening around them or the precipice that the people of the UK are heading toward…So it’s up to the young now to pick up that batten…Provided they are not all lazy over educated woke lefties who think they know it all.
Ok, whatever, but don’t pretend that a few no longer working weather stations in the UK makes all the climate change predictions invalid. That was what this thread was about. Its fun to note that you used a false claim to try to make your point about how you do not believe in the data and models used to predict a climate crisis. It would help your argument greatly if you found factual claims.
The fundamental question seem to have changed from evolution/creation to gut/data
