…because its central bank could certainly use his special attention. Philip Aldrick (Telegraph, UK) has the details on the grilling that Sir Mervyn King (head of the UK’s central bank, known as the Bank of England) received at the hands of the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee. Ben Bernake flatly contradicted King’s assertion that [...]
American and British banks are not the only ones under the microscope regarding the LIBOR scandal (Telegraph, UK): The EU investigation into a “shocking” interest-rate rigging scandal in the world’s biggest money market in London also includes Japan, EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia has said. “The alleged rate-rigging is a major competition concern,” Mr Almunia [...]
The resignation of UVA president Teresa Sullivan may soon break free of being a Charlottesville-only story. At present, the Board of Visitors remains tight-lipped about why Sullivan was asked to go. However, Anthony Watts, over at Watts Up With That, has an explosive theory: Readers may recall my earlier report on the strange weekend ouster [...]
Steve McIntyre has spent nearly a decade revealing the mathematical and statistical mistakes – or worse – of the global warming alarmists. In his Climate Audit blog, he exposes yet another example of how the alarmists chose to ignore (again) data that refused to fit the anthropogenic global warming theory. McIntyre details the data manipulation [...]
One would think that thirty-seven instances of data manipulation, errors, and other shenanigans would be enough to convince global warming alarmists that more of the same is a bad idea. One would be wrong (WUWT): It is apparent from the data that CRUTEM4 temperatures adjustments have, in part, been made with reference only to the [...]

The folks at the Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN) have already been called out for changing the past (i.e., “adjusting” past temperature data – downward [...]
Before today the number of various and sundry errors, data manipulations, and other shenanigans, from global warming alarmists that the rest of us can chronicle over the years were so numerous that I managed to blog a whopping thirty-five posts on this particular subject. Well, an outside review of Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology temperature records is out, [...]

Paul Homewood, in the vital Watts Up With That, provides the most detailed description of how the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) ”adjusts” historical data, this time in the Arctic Circle. Homewood explains in detail the justification GHCN provides for adjusting the historical data downward (thus creating an artificial warming trend), and then shows how in [...]
