The findings are set to cast further doubt on evidence put forward by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which claims the science supporting rising temperatures is unequivocal.
The report co-written by Anthony Watts, an American meteorologist and climate sceptic, shows photographs of weather stations near heat-generating equipment which could be distorting their readings.
Some are next to air-conditioning units or on waste-treatment plants, while one sits alongside a waste incinerator. A weather station at Rome airport was found to catch the hot exhaust fumes emitted by taxiing jets.
Rising temperatures around the stations, which have been in use for 150 years, could also have been caused by urbanisation, the study claimed. One weather station at Manchester airport, which was built when the surrounding land was mainly fields, is now surrounded by heated buildings.
The IPCC used data from the weather stations to back up claims that greenhouse gases had already caused a 0.7C rise in temperature, and gave warnings that further warming of up to 6C by 2100 could have devastating effects on civilisation and wildlife.
But the panel has been mired in controversy since the leaking of emails from the climate change unit at The University of East Anglia, which appeared to show that data used to bolster the IPCC's claims had been manipulated.

Seems to be a lot of investigating journalism going on overseas. Hardly a peep out of our msm in this country. Sites like Free Republic, Drudge, talk radio an the Internet are by-passing the msm to get the word out.

Methinks the placement was not from stupidity or accident. If those are the readings you want...it’s like heating the thermometer before handing it over to mom. A means to an end.
Busted!
It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite another to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply one video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the one...
The following is an excellent video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.
“The Great Global Warming Swindle”
If you want to download it, via a BitTorrent site (using a BitTorrent client), you can get it at the following link. Information about BitTorrent protocol and BitTorrent clients and their comparison at these three links (in this sentence). Some additional BitTorrent information here and here.
Download it here...

[This is a high-quality copy, of about a gigabyte in size. This link is the information about it, and you have to click the download link to get it on your BitTorrent client software. You'll also find users' comments here, too.]
It’s worth seeing and having for relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see.
Also, see it online here...
http://www.moviesfoundonline.com/great_global_warming_swindle.php
[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course..., and also, you can download flash video on a website either yourself or some software doing it.]
Buy it on DVD here...
[this would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...] At Amazon, it seems to be high-priced now and have only a few copies right now.

At WAGtv (a UK shop), but don't know about shipping. The price is reasonable, though.

This is old news that is finally being reported by the UK MSM. They still have a lot of catching up to do.
Anyone who read Michael Crichton’s book “State of Fear” knew all about this crap years ago. Written in 2004, it debunked the myth of global warming, and is far more authoritative than any “scientific study” these assclowns at the IPCC / UN have put out.
When at any same moment in time temperatures on earth - say, a hot moment in the Sahara on the one hand, and a cold moment in Antartica on the other hand - will differ by 80+ °C, and at one and the same place - say, that desert again - will differ by 40 or 50+ °C between night and day, there is anyone to unequivocally make statements about 0.x °C *global* warming (a very nonsensical term, IMO) - over decades, even....well, I call that BS. Impossible to measure by any means or data available to us today.
