Heat’s On At NOAA As “High Level Whistle Blower” Exposes Data Fraud, “Scientific Integrity Breaches”! UPDATE: “Being retired sure is liberating.” – John Bates. Read: ===================================According to a just published article by the Online Mail of the UK here, a “high-level whistleblower” has disclosed that America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) “breached its own rules on scientific integrity” and “duped” world leaders with manipulated global warming data.
The result of the manipulated data was to exaggerate the computed global warming. The aim was to make “the maximum possible impact on world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015,” the Sunday Online Mail writes. “Irrefutable evidence” The latest revelation, according to Online Mail, comes from “impeccable” NOAA scientist Dr. Central African data made up entirely Figure above: The heated data that the NOAA reported to the public.

Guest essay by Rud Istvan The disclosures by Dr. Bates concerning Karl’s ‘Pausebuster’ NOAA NCEI paper have created quite the climate kerfuffle, with Rep. Smith even renewing his NOAA email subpoena demands. Yet the Karl paper actually is fairly innocuous by comparison to other NOAA shenanigans. Here is an example of something more egregious but less noticed. NOAA’s USHCN stations are used to create the US portion of GHCN. Here are three states. Second is Michigan, showing the graphical difference from old to new software. And finally, California. In each state, zero or very slight warming was converted to pronounced warming. One natural question might be whether upgraded homogenization (among other things ‘removing’ urban heat island (UHI) effects) is responsible?
It is possible albeit tiresome to analyze all 48 CONUS states concerning the transition from Drd964x to nClimDiv. Like this: Like Loading... Former NOAA Scientist Confirms Colleagues Manipulated Climate Records | Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. WASHINGTON – U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology members today responded to reports about the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) 2015 climate change study (“the Karl study”). According to Dr. John Bates, the recently retired principal scientist at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center, the Karl study was used “to discredit the notion of a global warming hiatus and rush to time the publication of the paper to influence national and international deliberations on climate policy.”
Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas): “I thank Dr. John 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. “Now that Dr. Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Darin LaHood (R-Ill.): “I applaud Dr. Environment Subcommittee Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.): “I commend Dr. Background.
