The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE<\/a>) now reports of Great Britain\u2019s phantom weather station network: one third of all its stations don\u2019t actually exist.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Maurice Forgeng<\/a>. Original article: Epoch Times here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll climate forecasts are based on more or less long-term documented measurements from weather stations. They can be used to determine past developments as well as possible trends in future local temperatures. Meteorologists also compile national and international trends based on the data from many measuring stations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut what if much of this basic data is incorrect \u2013 or even made up? This is what journalist Ray Sanders claims about the measured values in the UK. According to his research, 103 of the 302 weather measuring stations in the United Kingdom do not exist at all. Nevertheless, they provide official data that is available to everyone on the website of the national weather authority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders investigated the weather stations listed by the British Meteorological Service and found discrepancies in the data. For example, the Dungeness weather station supposedly on a nuclear power plant doesn\u2019t exist. In fact, four out of eight stations in Kent do not exist Also, coordinates for many stations are inaccurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alleged location of a weather station is said to be on the roof of a nuclear power plant, according to the coordinates of the British Weather Service. Photo:\u00a0Google Maps<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most egregious: Sanders had made several inquiries to the weather authority to obtain more detailed information about the weather stations. He reported in the open letter: \u201cOf the 302 locations mentioned, over a third (103) do NOT exist. The Met Office refused to tell me exactly how or where the alleged \u2018data\u2019 for these 103 non-existent sites came from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently. Sanders questions the scientific validity of the weather data, noting similar issues with weather data collection in the USA where authorities collect measurements for weather stations that have been out of operation for years or decades and corrections are regularly made to some temperature series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the USA, it has been noticed that older temperature values have almost invariably been made colder and more recent measurements warmer. This gives a clearer impression of a warming of the regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
