Yet more global warming deception

This time, coming out of New Zealand:

The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn’t there.

The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is not confined to just Britain’s CRU climate research centre.

In New Zealand’s case, the figures published on NIWA’s [the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research] website suggest a strong warming trend in New Zealand over the past century:

...

But analysis of the raw climate data from the same temperature stations has just turned up a very different result:

...

Gone is the relentless rising temperature trend, and instead there appears to have been a much smaller growth in warming, consistent with the warming up of the planet after the end of the Little Ice Age in 1850.

The revelations are published today in a news alert from The Climate Science Coalition of NZ:

Straight away you can see there’s no slope—either up or down. The temperatures are remarkably constant way back to the 1850s. Of course, the temperature still varies from year to year, but the trend stays level—statistically insignificant at 0.06°C per century since 1850.

When you think of the money being made by leading global warming fear-mongers, by those trading in carbon credits, by 'green initiative' industries, then you'd think that this scam would garner more attention given that more and more we're seeing so much of it is built on shifting sand.

Sooner or later the inconvenient truth will win out.

The scientific data for the extent of global warming is falling apart. People will stretch the facts or outright lie to prove their misguided point or to make money. There is a very small amount of warming from hot pollution entering the earth's atmosphere for over a century.

The problem is they blame this for virtually everything including temperatures that derive from natural cyclical weather patterns. Also, everytime an iceberg melts it is blamed on global warming. How did icebergs melt after the Ice Age when there was no talk of global warming or climate change? Natural cyclical weather patterns - that's how.
