The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is one of the most important climate monitoring networks<\/a> in the world. It is co-sponsored by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and numerous UN, EU and scientific bodies and its collects information that is used for scientific research within the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Ultimately, it forms the basis for promoting and implementing global Net Zero plans. Given its importance and the need to keep to the highest standards of scientific reporting, it is a surprise that the UK Met Office seems to take its temperature reporting duties rather lightly.  It provides information from eight sites, four of which are rated junk class 4 with international \u2018uncertainties\u2019 of 2\u00b0C. Barely beyond belief, another site is based slap bang in the middle of RAF Shawbury, where pilots in military helicopters make frequently low fly-pasts at all hours of the day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The picture above is taken at the air base, the main RAF helicopter training centre, and it shows a helicopter next to the white Stevenson box containing the measuring device. Other clips \u2013 you couldn\u2019t make it up \u2013 show helicopters hovering over the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image is captured from a YouTube video<\/a> which shows extensive traffic at the base in close proximity to the temperature measuring station. Again we are obliged to citizen super sleuth Ray Sanders who is undertaking a forensic examination of the entire Met Office\u2019s UK temperature station network. Sanders notes that the heat hazes from the engines and the powerful down-draughts from the rotors are clearly visible. He concludes that despite the site being one of the Met Office\u2019s most important locations, it is \u201ccompletely worthless<\/a>\u201d for climate reporting. Despite this being a \u2018flagship\u2019 site, it is said to demonstrate the \u201cpoor standards and total lack of supervision thar the Met Office is being allowed to operate to\u201d. In fact, not only is Shawbury a key location feeding information to international bodies promoting the Net Zero fantasy, it is also one of only 37 UK station in the Met Office\u2019s historical database. In the case of Shawbury it shows measurements stretching back to 1946<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
