So, all that hidden heat in the Atlantic is really causing problems.

Australian scientist Jennifer Marohasy asks: Who’s going to be sacked for making-up global warming at Rutherglen? The temperature record at Rutherglen has been corrupted by managers at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. by Jennifer on August 27, 2014 in Information HEADS need to start rolling at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The senior management have tried to cover-up serious tampering that has occurred with the temperatures at an experimental farm near Rutherglen in Victoria. Retired scientist Dr Bill Johnston used to run experiments there. He, and many others, can vouch for the fact that the weather station at Rutherglen, providing data to the Bureau of Meteorology since November 1912, has never been moved. Senior management at the Bureau are claiming the weather station could have been moved in 1966 and/or 1974 and that this could be a justification for artificially dropping the temperatures by 1.8 degree Celsius back in 1913. Surely its time for heads to roll! Some background: Near Rutherglen, a small town in a wine-growing region of NE Victoria, temperatures have been measured at a research station since November 1912. There are no documented site moves. An automatic weather station was installed on 29th January 1998. Temperatures measured at the weather station form part of the ACORN-SAT network, so the information from this station is checked for discontinuities before inclusion into the official record that is used to calculate temperature trends for Victoria, Australia, and also the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The unhomogenized/raw mean annual minimum temperature trend for Rutherglen for the 100-year period from January 1913 through to December 2013 shows a slight cooling trend of 0.35 degree C per 100 years. After homogenization there is a warming trend of 1.73 degree C per 100 years. This warming trend is essentially achieved by progressively dropping down the temperatures from 1973 back through to 1913. For the year of 1913 the difference between the raw temperature and the ACORN-SAT temperature is a massive 1.8 degree C. There is absolutely no justification for doing this. This cooling of past temperatures is a new trick* that the mainstream climate science community has endorsed over recent years to ensure next year is always hotter than last year – at least for Australia. There is an extensive literature that provides reasons why homogenization is sometimes necessary, for example, to create continuous records when weather stations move locations within the same general area i.e. from a post office to an airport. But the way the method has been implemented at Rutherglen is not consistent with the original principle which is that changes should only be made to correct for non-climatic factors. In the case of Rutherglen the Bureau has just let the algorithms keep jumping down the temperatures from 1973. To repeat the biggest change between the raw and the new values is in 1913 when the temperature has been jumped down a massive 1.8 degree C. In doing this homogenization a warming trend is created when none previously existed. The Bureau has tried to justify all of this to Graham Lloyd at The Australian newspaper by stating that there must have been a site move, its flagging the years 1966 and 1974. But the biggest adjustment was made in 1913! In fact as Bill Johnston explains in today’s newspaper, the site never has moved. Surely someone should be sacked for this blatant corruption of what was a perfectly good temperature record. ———- Climate records contradict Bureau of Meteorology by Graham Lloyd, 27th August www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/climate/climate-records-contradict-bureau-of-meteorology/story-e6frg6xf-1227037936046The story is behind a paywall. But if you don’t already have a subscription perhaps its time… this could just be the biggest story of the year. ** There are a lot of tricks that climate science managers have implemented over the years to fix the temperature record; that is fix it so it shows global warming. “Trick” was the word Phil Jones, a leading United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scientist, used to explain to his peers that, when constructing very long global temperature series using proxy data based on tree ring measurements that can extend back thousands of years, it was best to substitute thermometer data for this proxy data from about 1960 because the proxy data started to show cooling from about then. Indeed from about 1960 until 2002 the thermometer data mostly did show warming. But now even this instrumental record is starting to show cooling. Enter the relatively new trick of homogenization.

The saturated fat science is very similar in quality to the AGW science.

I have made a collection of quotes that out of context would seem to be about AGW 'deniers' but in fact from all branches of current science and indeed including archaeology. Academia is in crisis and we are entering a new dark age.

Read the book and its a complete analog of the CAGW story. For me the worry is that we know that the story about our current diet is largely rubbish and yet we still see an ego constrained return to a better diet.
To much money to many big grain producing groups to much connect into Washington DC.
There is a sign of change but the diabetes fallout will cost 10s of millions their lives.

From the article:
"Yet the truth is there never has been solid evidence that these fats cause disease. We only believe this to be true because nutrition policy was derailed over the past half-century by personal ambition, bad science, politics, and bias."
It is also true to say using the same words with a minor alteration:
"Yet the truth is there never has been solid evidence that CO2 causes catastrophic warming. We only believe this to be true because energy policy was derailed over the past half-century by personal ambition, bad science, politics, and bias."

It is also worth reading the books 'Grain Brain' and 'Wheat Belly' For example: Take 4 food items: A banana A slice of whole wheat bread A Snickers bar A dessert spoon of sugar Which gives the highest glycemic load (sugar rush)? Yes you guessed correctly - the slice of wholewheat bread.

The BBC reports: "UN seeks 'Malala' on climate change" Wow, politics at it's finest... Link: www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-28958227-------------------------------------- Malala Yousafzai In a blog (under a pseudonym) for the BBC, Malala had been promoting education for girls in the Swat Valley. In the afternoon of Tuesday, 9 October 2012, Malala boarded her school bus in the northwest Pakistani district of Swat. A gunman asked for Malala by name, then pointed a Colt 45 at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of Malala's forehead, traveled under her skin the length of her face and then into her shoulder.

Yes you guessed correctly - the slice of wholewheat bread. Yes, interesting reads. One of those authors made a claim of modern grain vs old grain, something to do with the carb levels/sugar. "One of those authors made a claim of modern grain vs old grain, something to do with the carb levels/sugar"Testing has shown that heroin addicted rats prefer to go for sugar water rather than another heroin dose. Apparently sugar rush is actually addictive in the same way as Heroin. The marketing people have (presumably unintentionally) bred grains that 'hit the spot' of this part of the brain more effectively (think of the smell of fresh bread or a nice crisp but soft inside bread-roll) by increasing the glycemic load (sugar rush) the grains give. Similar things have happened in other areas where for example broccoli has become sweeter and less astringent so it is more acceptable to those that don't like cruciform vegetables - but it was the nutrients in broccoli that gave it the stronger flavor - so they have been bred out. Brilliant.

Yesterday, my dad said something that strikes me as a very good idea.
Lets go in together, and erect a polished granite monument. Possibly 30 or 40 feet tall. Or whatever we could afford. This obelisk will have etched into it the names, and the irresponsible quotes of the AGW pseudo-scientists, govt administrators, high-level politicians, and media. Name-quote, name-quote, all the way up the face of it. It will be a monument to the folly of human hubris and our capacity to be misled.
Put it on a 5 or 10 acre park. Don't let these people scatter like cockroaches when the light switch is flipped on.
