2015 SkS News Bulletin #1: Adjusting Temperature Records

Posted on 24 February 2015 by John Hartz

This bulletin inventories rebuttals to two recent articles by Christopher Booker published in the UK's Daily Telegraph claiming that climate scientists have nefariously manipulated temperature data in order to propagate the "myth of manmade climate change".

This bulletin also functions as a supplemenatry reading list to two recently posted SkS articles rebutting Booker's false claims and innuendos, i.e.,

  1. Thanks for collecting these. Perhaps for the next News Bulletin you might consider collecting the spate of articles on the likely acceleration of the rate of GW in the coming decades related to the recent article on the topic in Science by M. Mann. Here's the link to his recent related piece at RC that has links to many of the other related works: www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2015/02/climate-oscillations-and-the-global-warming-faux-pause/

    See also Climate Central, robbertscribbler and other articles linked at those sites.
