... .92" is a nice number don't you think.... I feel rather warm, don't you? ....uhhhhhh......The data did not fit the model, so we made it fit
NIWA’s David Wratt has told Investigate magazine this afternoon his organization denies faking temperature data and he claims NIWA has a good explanation for adjusting the temperature data upward. Wratt says NIWA is drafting a media response for release later this afternoon which will explain why they altered the raw data.
At least they only "altered" the data, unlike the CRU, which managed to lose it.
Upon examination of said "raw data", it seems that the country's temperature increased 0.06° over a century - ie, nada. But by the time Dr James Salinger (a big cheese at NIWA, the CRU and the IPCC), had "adjusted" the data New Zealand was showing an increase of 0.92° - ie, some 15 times greater than the raw data showed. Why?
It might be that "climate change" is an organized criminal conspiracy to defraud the entire developed world. Or there might be a "good explanation". I'd be interested to hear it. Fortunately for NIWA et al, among the massed ranks of "environmental correspondents", plus ça climate change, plus c'est la même chose.

The Leftist politicians and their media is sailing full speed ahead with AGW taxation and control.
It’s as if this information didn’t even exist.
Turn up the heat on these people so that they think that the planet is setting its course to the heart of the sun. Let them sweat it big time. Tissue time and big baths for all the climatologists that endorse fraud. Make it hot as hell for them — as is only fitting.
Outstanding.
Not might be, is.
Should "data-raping," be a felony? Punishable with up to 5 years hard labor at Ft. Leavenworth? Loss of rank, and a dishonorable discharge?
Then again, the U.S. government perpetrates a fraud a day on the American people (i.e. cap and trade, TARP, health reform, social security, etc.), and none of them have been jailed or voted out of office. Maybe what is necessary are pitch forks, tar, feathers, and a rail.
I could be wrong, but it seems like we are headed for CWII.

These guys will probably be commended in the end.
Well, it no longer takes much digging.
"In our further exploration of the social network of authorships in temperature reconstruction, we found [that] at least 43 authors have direct ties to Dr. Mann by virtue of co-authored pages with him. Our findings from this analysis suggest that authors in the area of paleoclimate studies are closely connected and thus 'independent studies' may not be as independent as they might appear on the surface. This committee does not believe that web logs [(blogs)]are an appropriate forum for scientific debate on this issue [or 'peer review, presumably]. --- Congressional Report --- Professor Edward J. Wegman ---July 11, 2006
Professor Wegman's 2006 Report to Congress
So, as we already know there are at least 43 members of the fraud circle-jerk in many countries, and they have stonewalled FOIA requests, conspired against dissent, "peer-reviewed" their own work, and generally set back climate science decades.
In the long run, there is little tolerance for fraud in real science.
