Global warming data apparently cooked by U.S. government-funded body shows astounding temperature fraud with increases averaging 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
The taxpayer-funded National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has become mired in fresh global-warming data scandal involving numbers for the Great Lakes region that substantially ramp up averages.
A beleaguered federal agency appears to be implicated in the most blatant and extreme case of climate data fraud yet seen. Official records have been confirmed as evidence that a handful of temperature records for the Great Lakes region have been hiked up by literally hundreds of degrees to substantially inflate the average temperature range for the northeastern United States.
The web pages at the center of this latest climate storm were created by NOAA in partnership with Michigan State University.
Disgraced Administration Mired in Another Climategate-style Data Fix
Someone under the pseudonym Sportsmen anonymously tipped off skeptic blog, Climatechangefraud.com. Independent analysts affirm the web pages as genuine.
In his email the faceless whistleblower explains that what precipitated the scoop was a rather dubious report in the media that the Great Lakes temperatures have risen 10 to 15 degrees, I found it was downright laughable. (Just a few examples of media hysteria here and here and here and here)
He continues, Prior to this report I would frequent the Coastal Watch temperature maps for northern Lake Michigan. When this report came out it dawned on me that the numbers didn’t match what I had been reading on the Coastal Watch temperature page.
Under a scheme called Sea Grant NOAA collaborates with national universities to compile an official federal temperature record. In this instance, the partnership is with Michigan Universitys Coastal Watch.
Together the two institutions show temperature maps for northern Lake Michigan registering an absurd 430 degrees Fahrenheit yes, you read it right thats four hundred and thirty degrees and this is by no means the highest temperature recorded on the charts.
In the heated debate about Earths ever-changing climate you certainly dont need to be scientist to figure out that the Great Lakes would have boiled away at a mere 212 degrees so something has seriously gone awry inside this well-funded program.
In addition to its civilian employees, NOAA research and operations are supported by 300 uniformed service members who make up the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps. But dont bet on anyone being court-marshalled over this latest global warming fiasco.
Paid for entirely from federal taxes, the shamed public bodys key responsibilities include warning of dangerous weather and protection of ocean and coastal resources, and conducts research to improve understanding and stewardship of the environment.
Michigan State University Also Complicit in Fraud?
The worst evidence of hyper-inflated global warming data is on a web page entitled, Michigan State University Remote Sensing & GIS Research and Outreach Services.
While another web page identifies that Michigan State Universitys Coastal Watch site is officially connected to NOAA thus implicating both institutions in a climate data conspiracy. At the bottom of the web page mention is made of Sea Grant that is described as a unique partnership of public and private sectors that combines research, education and technology transfer for public service.
The legend further boasts that such data is shared across a national network of universities meeting the changing environmental and economic needs of Americans in coastal ocean and Great Lakes regions.
