They played fast and loose with the figures -NOAA whistleblower
The Mail on Sunday today reveals astonishing evidence that the organisation that is the world’s leading source of climate data rushed to publish a landmark paper that exaggerated global warming and was timed to influence the historic Paris Agreement on climate change.
A high-level whistleblower has told this newspaper that America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) breached its own rules on scientific integrity when it published the sensational but flawed report, aimed at making the maximum possible impact on world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015.
The report claimed that the ‘pause’ or ‘slowdown’ in global warming in the period since 1998 – revealed by UN scientists in 2013 – never existed, and that world temperatures had been rising faster than scientists expected. Launched by NOAA with a public relations fanfare, it was splashed across the world’s media, and cited repeatedly by politicians and policy makers.
But the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable evidence that the paper was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data.
It was never subjected to NOAA’s rigorous internal evaluation process – which Dr Bates devised.
His vehement objections to the publication of the faulty data were overridden by his NOAA superiors in what he describes as a ‘blatant attempt to intensify the impact’ of what became known as the Pausebuster paper.
His disclosures are likely to stiffen President Trump’s determination to enact his pledges to reverse his predecessor’s ‘green’ policies, and to withdraw from the Paris deal – so triggering an intense political row.

Is this supposed to be some sort of scoop? The exposure of a global hoax?
I've read from independent sources that the affects of ACC are actually more dire, and faster acting than some predictions.
When Ponds & Fleishman reported they'd achieved cold fusion on a desktop, their unlikely claims were quickly peer reviewed and exposed as fraud.
I'm not dismissing scientific method protocols. They're essential.
But failing one step in an essential protocol doesn't amount to a rounding error when the vast bulk of parallel, independent study of the same issue make scientifically valid assessments that agree.
In science it's known as an anecdote. But I have anecdotal experience that corroborates the sea-level rise warnings. It's not merely the devastation it wrought on New Jersey's coast.
I have friends that live in the Hudson River valley. It's where I spent the first 18 years of my life. I've seen that river in good times and bad, at calm, during hurricane, and everything else.
The high water mark from Hurricane Sandy was at that part of the river about five feet higher than the usual high tide line.
Bear in mind, that part of the river, about 40 miles North of the Atlantic, is about 3.5 miles across. It may not take a lot of water to overflow a local stream win a WVA mountain town.
But it takes an enormous amount of water to flood the Tappan Zee. Something unusual is definitely going on here.
But if we may switch hats from scientist to lawyer / CSI:
Let's say your theory of the crime is it's a vast left-wing conspiracy.
FINE !!
What's the motive?
Good luck convicting a suspect, or rather, a planet full of them, without a motive.
