Its compilation of 30-year temperature averages for its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/weather-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Energy Trends<\/a>&nbsp;publication is so flawed, it might be easier and more cost-effective just to make the figures up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DNZES figures, both monthly and annual, are said to provide average temperature, \u201cheating degree-days\u201d and deviation from long-term measurements. Just 17&nbsp; Met Office stations are used although, curiously, 21 sets of information arise due to site double counting. Eight of the stations consulted are in Class 4 sites with internationally-recognised \u2018uncertainties\u2019 of 2\u00b0C, while four are in Class 5 with possible errors up to 5\u00b0C. The data are not only corrupted by unnatural influences but also slewed by less than obvious geographical sitings. No measurements are taken in Northern Ireland, most of Scotland or mid and north Wales. The entire south-east of England is represented by Heathrow Airport, one of the worst places possible to gain an idea of surrounding air temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/maps-of-uk-weather-stations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">siting and identification<\/a>&nbsp;of the relevant&nbsp;Met Office stations is shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"705\" data-attachment-id=\"354213\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=354213\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-166.png?fit=677%2C705&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"677,705\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-166.png?fit=677%2C705&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-166.png?resize=677%2C705&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-354213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-166.png?w=677&amp;ssl=1 677w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-166.png?resize=288%2C300&amp;ssl=1 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eight Class 4 sites are Glasgow Bishopton, Bingley, Crosby, Nottingham Watnall, Coleshill, Aberporth, Hurn and Plymouth Mountbatten while the four Class 5 are Leuchars, Durham, St. Athan and Boscombe Down. Quite why four of the 17 sites are double counted \u201cto produce the national averages for temperature correction\u201d is not immediately clear. Admittedly the Met Office does not have many Class 1 and 2 sites, but quite why these cannot be used rather than the hopelessly corrupted bunch identified is again not immediately clear. But it gets worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hat tip&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tallbloke.wordpress.com\/2024\/10\/30\/leconfield-wmo-03382-doubled-dubious-data-despite-a-new-solar-farm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">again to Ray Sanders<\/a>, the citizen journalist who is carrying out a forensic examination of the entire Met Office temperature gathering operation. Noting that the DNZES statistics stretch back to 1980, he observes that doubled-up Rostherne was only opened in 2012. Glasgow is also short of a few years having started in 1998, as is Coleshill (1997), St. Athan (1997), Leconfield (2002) and Weybourne (1991). Just two Class 1 sites are used, neither of which existed in 1981. \u201cThis concoction of historic averages is reminiscent of Dungeness where stations that do not exist are attributed averages by what are no better than mathematical conjuring tricks,\u201d Sanders states. The Dungeness note refers to the recent discovery that the Met Office has been inventing temperature averages for over 100 stations, a practice, and a subsequent attempted cover up, the&nbsp;<em>Daily Sceptic<\/em>&nbsp;recently reported&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2024\/11\/05\/science-shock-u-k-met-office-is-inventing-temperature-data-from-100-non-existent-stations\/\">here<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2024\/12\/09\/massive-cover-up-launched-by-u-k-met-office-to-hide-its-103-non-existent-temperature-measuring-stations\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanders also casts a critical eye on the Leconfield site. This is a Class 3 station with uncertainties of 1\u00b0C but its doubled-up data arises from a location with \u201cmultiple issues\u201d. In Sanders\u2019s view, the site should be at least Class 4 due to nearby roads and tarmac. There is also the \u201cserious issue\u201d of a newly-built solar farm with 4,248 heat-producing panels standing just 80 metres (at its closest point) from the measuring device. \u201cThere are even bigger problems with the way in which its temperature readings are subsequently manipulated by Government departments that is almost unbelievable,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end result of all these shenanigans can be seen in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/media\/62457adad3bf7f32afeba036\/Long-term_mean_temperatures_1991-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the table below<\/a>.

Little care seems to have been taken over the siting of measuring devices, with nearly eight out of 10 stations based in junk classes 4 and 5 with huge uncertainties identified by the World Meteorological Organisation. Alarmists frequently talk about the dangers of warming of as little as one tenth of a degree centigrade but Met Office figures (and those of other state-funded meteorological organisations around the world, which suffer from similar problems) are incapable of providing measurements to this degree of accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, DNZES is in the hands of an extremist gang of weird political wonks led by the Mad Miliband. They are unlikely to lose much sleep over a few inaccurate temperature details when there is work to be done saving the planet. Dodgy temperature figures, hockey sticks and purple weather maps have been creating mass climate psychosis for years \u2013 the job is almost done. Now is time to make a real move on the hated free enterprise industrial society and the plebs who seem to take an unnatural enjoyment in the improved living standards it offers. Step forward Miliband\u2019s right-hand man and the former Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee, Chris Stark. Commenting on the Net Zero imperative, he recently said: \u201cWe are likely to see a move towards a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DaveAtherton20\/status\/1866460268898795772\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more stick-like intervention<\/a>&nbsp;into the future if we are not able to act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things are getting hot \u2013 these people are ready to strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StarkClimate?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@StarkClimate<\/a>&nbsp;when CEO of the Climate Change Committee recommended the Net Zero target for 2030.<br><br>Speaking at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wef?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@wef<\/a>&nbsp;we &#8220;need to change behaviours&#8221; using &#8220;carrots &amp; not so many sticks.&#8221; He warns of more sticks.<br><br>If the world went Net Zero temperatures would drop by 0.1\u2026&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AfyyZDW2XK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/AfyyZDW2XK<\/a>\u2014 David Atherton (@DaveAtherton20)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaveAtherton20\/status\/1866460268898795772?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">December 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Chris Morrison is the<\/em>&nbsp;Daily Sceptic<em>\u2019s Environment Editor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you think the U.K. Met Office is adept at producing junk temperature measurements and statistics, just wait till you see what the Department of Net Zero and Energy Security (DNZES) is up to.
