An early glaring instance of this was spotted by Steve McIntyre, the statistician who exposed the computer trickery behind that famous “hockey stick” graph, beloved by the IPCC, which purported to show that, contrary to previous evidence, 1998 had been the hottest year for 1,000 years. It was McIntyre who, in 2007, uncovered the wholesale retrospective adjustments made to US surface records between 1920 and 1999 compiled by Giss (then run by the outspoken climate activist James Hansen). These reversed an overall cooling trend into an 80-year upward trend. Even Hansen had previously accepted that the “dust bowl” 1930s was the hottest US decade of the entire 20th century.

it would seem the IPCC are just not fit for purpose, unless that purpose is conning us all out of trillions in tax

I would happily accept climate change ideas if it meant paying less for things and the government issuing a tax rebate.

I would be more inclined to believe it if the trillions raised in taxes were spent on green technology. the fact it isnt means it is just a revenue raising idea that makes people feel good about being scalped
