Warmists have long had a problem: the last 20 years of stable or even declining temperatures, a phenomenon making a mockery of their computer models and doomsday predictions. Their answer was the “Pausebuster” paper, esoterically titled “Possible artifacts of data biases in the recent global surface warming hiatus” and strategically released via the influential journal Science—just six months before the Paris conference.
But the answer was artifice, reveals whistleblower Dr. John Bates, a man who’d futilely resisted the NOAA’s book-cooking and until last year was one the agency’s two “principal” climate-issue scientists.
The paper made a sensational claim, reported the Daily Mail this past weekend, “that contrary to what scientists have been saying for years, there was no ‘pause’ or ‘slowdown’ in global warming in the early 21st Century. Indeed, this ‘Pausebuster’ paper…claimed the rate of warming was even higher than before, making ‘urgent action’ imperative.”
But the NOAA’s urgent action, says Dr. Bates, was to manipulate what’s known as the “version 4” dataset. The agency “took reliable readings from buoys but then ‘adjusted’ them upwards—using readings from seawater intakes on ships that act as weather stations,” writes the Mail. “They did this even though readings from the ships have long been known to be too hot.”
