Now Kiwigate: New Zealand climatologists destroy nation’s raw temperature data
contributed by John O’Sullivan
With great embarrassment the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand has been forced to release it’s raw temperature data, but they have no record of why and when any adjustments were made to this data. Yet again, it appears climate scientists are re-writing the temperature history of the world.
The story was reported yesterday by Scoop: Sci-Tech Independent News under the heading, ‘NIWA CAUGHT WITH PANTS DOWN.’ ‘Scoop’ explains that because New Zealand’s climate data adjustments cannot be verified (peer-reviewed) they are worthless.
The story goes:
The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) has been urged by the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (NZCSC) to abandon all of its in-house adjustments to temperature records. This follows an admission by NIWA that it no longer holds the records that would support its in-house manipulation of official temperature readings.
Alleged key climate ‘con artist down’ under is Jim Salinger, who from reading the leaked CRU emails, is proven to have been well cozied up with America’s alleged biggest climate crook, Michael Mann of Penn. State University.
In his emails to Mann, Salinger, with much hypocrisy, criticised global warming sceptics on their ‘academic standards.’ This Kiwi caper will surely rebound against Salinger who is now hoist by his own petard.
Scoop say,
Considering Jim Salinger was working for NIWA when his name appeared in the climategate emails, I’d have to say it’s all very convenient for NIWA.
Folks, it appears we are seeing the unravelling of an internationally organized climate racket perpetrated on a scale unimaginable before the world first read those leaked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU).
Note: Jim Salinger should not to be confused with the eponymous American fiction author who wrote Catcher in the Rye, on the themes of alienation and rebellion. However, it does look as if the New Zealand Salinger has made his own extra special effort to get into the world of literary fiction.

Knowing the raw data was “lost”, NZ was only a handful of countries, that signed up to Copenhagen accord on reducing CO2 emissions by Sunday’s deadline. NZ citizens will not be happy campers when they discover that they have been shafted by their Government.

This just further underlines what I have expected all along: that academics who do the analysis of the temperature data are the last people who should be entrusted with keeping its integrity. Given the sheer magnitude of the decisions being made off these datasets they should be given the same respect and protections as afforded to economic or population data.
Further, its not as if we can rerun the ‘experiment’ or travel back in time and take the measurements again – the data is corrupted and unrecoverable. People should be fired over this.
“lost” raw data and/or the calculations used to adjust the raw data seems to be catching faster than H1N1. “If it walks like a duck, qacks like a duck, and flies like a duck it’s a duck” How would Madoff have responded to a request for the raw data he was basing the high returns on? First a stall and then “I acidentally flushed that data the last time I took a crap”
