After long, patient pressure by The Daily Sceptic, the British Met Office has started to withdraw fabricated temperature data, namely local daily temperature “records” from non-existent weather stations. The Met, unsurprisingly, originally insisted that the non-existent evidence was carefully made up and thus could be trusted. For instance they said figures from the Lowestoft station that actually closed in 2010 were generated from “well-correlated neighbouring stations”. And you might be wondering how you could correlate data you have with data you don’t. But it would be the wrong question because, we now learn, “there were no such operations within a 40-mile radius.” Oh darn. They really were caught, they really were embarrassed and, after exhausting the alternatives, they really seem to have started to do the right thing. Alas, they still report data from about 100 other stations that do not, um, exist. And they wonder why no one believes them anymore.
