Met Office Fabricating Data From Non-existent Weather Stations
The British Meteorological Office has been caught fabricating meteorological data from more than 100 nonexistent weather stations to promote the โclimate changeโ narrative and Net Zero agenda being promoted by globalist interests
Alarmingly, this fabricated data has found its way into climate models used by leading institutions worldwide, influencing global organizations in shaping climate policies and driving alarmist narratives.
Following many Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to the Met Office and diligent fieldwork visiting individual stations, investigator Ray Sanders has discovered that 103 out of 302 stations supplying temperature averages do not exist.
โHow would any reasonable observer know that the data was not real and simply โmade upโ by a Government agency,โ asks Sanders.
He calls for an โopen declarationโ of the fraudulent nature of existing published climate data, โto avoid other institutions and researchers using unreliable data and reaching erroneous conclusions.โ
In his home county of Kent, Sanders found that four of the eight sites identified by the Met Office, namely Dungeness, Folkestone, Dover, and Gillingham โ which all produce rolling temperature averages to the second decimal place of a degree โ are โfictionโ.
Daily Sceptic reports that there has been no weather station at Dungeness since 1986. None of the four stations appear in the list of Met sites with a classification from the World Meteorological Organization.
The Met Office directs online inquiries about Dover to the โnearest climate stationโ at Dover Harbour (Beach) and provides a full set of rolling 30-year averages.
According to Met Office coordinates, the site is on Dover beach as the Google Earth photo below shows.
It seems unlikely that any scientific organization would site a temperature-monitoring station that is likely to be submerged by the sea on a regular basis.
Who is running this station on the beach? Have accurate records been kept for 30 years? And why is it not listed under the 380 sites that are given a WMO rating?
Of the 302 sites quoted, Sanders notes that the Met Office โdeclined to advise meโ exactly how or where the alleged โdataโ were derived for these 103 nonexistent sites.
The practice of โinventingโ temperature data from nonexistent stations is a controversial issue in the United States where NOAA has been [accused of] fabricating data of more than 30% of its reporting sites.
Data are retrieved from surrounding stations and the resulting averages are given an โEโ for estimate.
โThe addition of the ghost station data means NOAAโs monthly and yearly reports are not representative of reality,โ says meteorologist Anthony Watts. โIf this kind of process were used in a court of law, then the evidence would be thrown out as being polluted,โ he added.
In his open letter to Peter Kyle MP, Sanders states that he has demonstrated with hard evidence that the Met Office is โclearly fabricatingโ data.
In addition, [the Met] is failing to meet high standards of scientific integrity and is not producing reliable or accurate data for climate-reporting purposes from a network of poorly sited and inadequately maintained locations.
Peter Kyle is the Minister responsible for the Met Office and has yet to respond to Sandersโs allegations.
While the silence in Government, Parliament, and the Met Office, aided by a total lack of interest by the mainstream media, is maintained, it can only be assumed that the interests of the โNet Zeroโ promotion override any concerns about the underlying scientific data.
