The Hockey Schtick:
A recent paper published in Theoretical and Applied Climatology finds evidence of incorrect temperature data homogenization over the 20th century in the Northern Territory of Australia, falsely creating a warming trend from the cooling trend present in the raw data. According to the author, “With the data available [in Northern Australia], the only option to produce warming trends is to overweight the cold years in the middle of the 1970s and the subsequent return to warmer temperatures,” but that with proper data homogenization, there is no warming trend.
According to the paper, “The Northern Territory of Australia has a unique situation of an extension larger than France and a population of 200,000, with only three meteorology stations open for more than 40 years, Darwin (DW), Alice Springs (AS) and Tennant Creek, and only two of them, [Darwin] DW and AS, providing data over 100 years, and from 500 to more than 1,000 km separating these stations and the stations in the neighbouring states of Australia.
This “smoking gun” of temperature data tampering in Darwin, Australia was pointed out over 4 years ago by Willis Eschenbach at WUWT, illustrated by Fig. 7 below showing a cooling trend of 0.7C per century in the raw data was up-justed to show a warming trend of 1.2C per century in the official data:
Those whom the World has trusted to maintain the known temperatures are no longer scientists. They have evolved into activists with a political agenda. These are the people who have a consensus that the Earth is warming due to human activity. Those of us who use common sense have been able to know they were “cooking the books” for a long time to maintain the flow of government grants into their pockets! Where are the trolls?
Wow!
That is one huge ”up-justment!”

None of the raw data supports warming at all!
No wonder Mann and others were steadfastly refusing to share raw data with anyone.
@Nanny G:
Refusing to share raw data with anyone is part of the peer review process of the scientific method.
I read on WUWT and Climate Depot that Hansen of NASA fame earned 1.2 million$ in speaker fees during 2013, while promoting the climate change scare. Here’s a math formula for the greenies out there. Hansen’s income is directly proportional to the volume and frequency of climate cataclysmic speeches.
Smoking guns,” indeed.
A report has come out about animal deaths because of CA’s three larger solar arrays in its deserts.
Now, you guess…..
If every time a flying animal (bird, bat or insect) flies into the solar flux and catches fire is called a ”streamer,” as it falls to the ground dead by employees….how often (I don’t care who does it, the ”t” in often is SILENT) do they see this?

ANSWER:
One every two minutes as long as the sun shines!
Looks like solar collectors and windmills are endangering irreplaceable species on this planet. Where’s Peta, the Humane society, and the Audobon society? Raising money and washing their tights?
Mark Steyn calls windmills – Condor cuisinarts.
I read more on this Australian climate warming boondoggle. Data derived from thumbs on the weigh scale and fingers in the till. Another dog has eaten the homework. The government grab for carbon credits has been eliminated. Another green fallacy fiasco.
The left will no doubt accuse the authors of racism.
