East Anglia Climate Research Centre

The Daily Mail reports that the UK Met Office’s Hadley Research Centre and the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Centre – who jointly monitor climate data – have posted data on its website that showed there has been no global warming over the past 16 years.

Evidence? Where? We have no idea what you're on about…

‘Hallelujah! Mankind not headed for carbongeddon after all’ reads CRU – Met Office joint media release. Met Office joyfully proclaims the ‘British Isles will not sink’. Hooray!

Desperate for some good news the White House’s Jay Carney rushes before press corps to announce breathlessly, ‘Obama’s pledge to heal planet working’. UN announces disbandment of ‘humourless white-coated guys who measure stuff’. In Australia, Treasurer Wayne Swan announces all carbon taxes will be refunded. Huzzah! The Greens have a collective aneurysm.

    At no point has Jones made any effort to provide a proper source for his reportage of the Mirror article’s original basis. Fortunately, the UK Met Office has now made its own rebuttal, in depth, first hand, here: http://metofficenews.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/met-office-in-the-media-14-october-2012/ Read more »

    By link to actual original source, I meant just that. Jones has not provided that. Nor has Tropical, who prefers to make up personal suppositions instead. Meanwhile, the UK Met Office has in fact rebutted the Mirror’s misrepresentations (and hence Jones’s), as (first hand, original) here: http://metofficenews.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/met-office-in-the-media-14-october-2012/ Read more »
