    Which would be less repulsive if elements of the climate opposition didn't regularly use the argument that climate change is a conspiracy to hold down the poor countries.

    NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies has released this video with stunning satellite imagery, which illustrates the basic principles of global warming. It may be of interest to some.

    God no.

    You have to pay copious amounts of money to private corporate carbon traders to do that.

    *Yawn* Ah the old ones are the best eh?

    Unfortunately for AGW loons these malpractice incidents are from the real word.

    Of course by "caught" they mean "alleged to have".

    Both Watts and E. Michael Smith are doing their usual shtick whereby they make a series of claims they could easily investigate themselves with the publicly available data and code but instead prefer to speculate that "if true" their claims imply all sorts of nefarious motives. Mysteriously they never get around to checking if they're actually true and simply repeat the "if true" characterisation over and over.

    Climate change skeptic Dr Roy Spencer did analyse whether the removal of temperature stations had introduced a warming signal

    New Work on the Recent Warming of Northern Hemispheric Land Areas Roy Spencer, Ph. D.
    I’ll have to admit I was a little astounded at the agreement between Jones’ and my analyses, especially since I chose a rather ad-hoc method of data screening that was not optimized in any way. Note that the linear temperature trends are essentially identical; the correlation between the monthly anomalies is 0.91.
    So in actual fact not only has "manipulation" not been demonstrated any actual difference hasn't been demonstrated.
