From The Daily Sceptic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0Chris Morrison<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, the Met Office claimed that climate change was causing a \u201cdramatic increase in the frequency of temperature extremes and number of temperature records in the U.K.\u201d. Given what we now know from recent freedom of information (FOI) revelations about the state of its \u2018junk\u2019 nationwide temperature measuring network, it is difficult to see how the Met Office can publish such a statement and keep a straight face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claims were the headline findings in the operation\u2019s latest state of the U.K. climate report<\/a> and are said to be based on \u201cobservations from the U.K.\u2019s network of weather stations, using data extending back to the 19th<\/sup> Century to provide long term context\u201d. That would be the network where nearly eight out of 10 stations are deemed by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) to have \u2018uncertainties\u2019 \u2013 i.e., potential errors \u2013 between 2-5\u00b0C. The same junk stations that provide \u2018record\u2019 daily temperatures often in the same places, such as the urban heat furnace that is Heathrow airport. The same junk measurements that the Met Office uses to claim collated measurements down to one hundredth of a degree centigrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The WMO rates weather stations by the degree of nearby unnatural or natural temperature corruption. Classes 4 and 5 have possible corruptions of 2\u00b0C and 5\u00b0C respectively and these account for the vast majority of the Met Office sites. The WMO suggests that Class 5 should not be used to provide an accurate measurement of nearby air temperatures, yet nearly a third of the Met Office sites are classified in this super-junk category. Only classes 1 and 2 have no uncertainties attached and only these should be used for serious scientific observational work. But, inexplicably, the Met Office has very few such uncorrupted sites. Even more worryingly, it seems to show no sign of significantly increasing the paltry number of pristine sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human-caused and urban heat encroachment are the problems, with extreme cases found at airports, which can add many degrees of warming to the overall record. But this has been known for some time, and it is a mystery why the Met Office has not done anything about it. Recent FOI disclosures reveal that over eight in 10 of the 113 stations opened in the last 30 years are in junk classes 4 and 5. Worse, 81% of stations started in the last 10 years are junk, as are eight of the 13 new sites in the last five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s almost as if the Met Office is actively seeking higher readings to feed into its constant catastrophisation of weather in the interests of Net Zero promotion. Whatever the reason \u2013 incompetence or political messaging \u2013 serious science would appear to be the loser. As currently set up, the Met Office network is incapable of providing a realistic guide to natural air temperatures across the U.K. Using the data to help calculate global temperatures is equally problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the Met Office can rely on its helpful messengers in the mainstream media not to breath a word about this growing scientific scandal. The central plank of Net Zero fear-mongering is rising temperatures and claims that \u2018extreme\u2019 weather is increasing as a result. Temperatures have risen a bit over the last 200 years since the lifting of the mini ice age, the clue to the pleasant bounce being obvious to all. But this is not enough to force the insanity of Net Zero on humanity, so fanciful climate models and bloated temperature databases are also required. The compliant media are uninterested, but the cynicism and outright derision over the Met Office\u2019s temperature antics are growing. The Met Office regularly posts on X and it cannot be unaware that a growing number of replies are less than complimentary. Last week, it announced the \u201cwarmest day of the year\u201d based on measurements taken at Heathrow. The following are a few of the more polite comments<\/a> it received:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

What is it about LHR that could make it hotter than surrounding areas? I will give you a clue \u2013 concrete and hot jet exhausts maybe?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real temperatures should be taken out in the open away from London.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026manipulating temperatures to fit the climate agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Might as well measure inside an oven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all made up to fit your agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a brighter red highlight in my fonts that I can lend you if you think the one you choose does not does not push the propaganda enough!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remind us where you were taking temperature recordings in the last century, because it wasn\u2019t on the roasting tarmac of airports.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban heat islands should not count and you know it but the grift continues.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In its recent annual report, the Met Office claimed that \u201cour new analysis of these observations really shines a light on the fastest changing aspects of our weather as a consequence of climate change\u201d. It is not just temperature data that is brought to the Net Zero table, but rainfall as well. The indefatigable investigative journalist Paul Homewood took a look at how the Met Office spun precipitation in a recent article<\/a> in the Daily Sceptic<\/em>. He agreed with the Met Office\u2019s claim that rainfall has risen since 1961, but asked why that year was chosen to start the timeline. The graph below shows why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

England and Wales are rainy countries, but their island position in the North Atlantic leads to regular seasonal, yearly and longer-term decadal variations. The year 1961 fell within a drier interlude, and current totals are similar to those around the 1930s, 1880s and 1780s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helped by the widespread availability of satellite images and measurements, the Met Office does an excellent job in forecasting short-term weather and is of great benefit to shipping, the military, agriculture and the general population. But the state body funded by over \u00a3100 million a year is clearly riddled with green activists who, on the evidence that a number of sceptical journalists have presented, are using unreliable figures, carefully-curated statistics and inaccurate measurements to promote their own attachment to the insanity of hydrocarbon elimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
