UK Met Office Temperature Records in doubt

UK Met Office Temperature Records in doubt
Apparently the Met Office is now asking for some one to go through and check its temperature records and the calculations it has done about future trends as they think it might have errors!! Considering they cant predict the weather 3 months in advance (Last years barbecue summer for example) what chance do they have 5 years in advance
Strange how all this is now coming to light after the emails from the UEA shows what a wide spread conspiracy it is, still i suspect Government grants are only given to organisations that promote the man made Global Warming so they can tax us more

If I want a weather forecast, I ask Google, it's usually right, whereas the Metoffice was only right 50% of the time, if that.
They are too busy pushing the government's global warming crap to do the weather properly, anyway.
IIRC, the predicted a warm winter. It's been the hardest one in 30 years apparently.

It's all lip service.
They'll have it checked because they have some "concerns."
Shortly after they'll come out with "we've had it checked and guess what, our figures are correct."

I watched the last "How Earth Made Us" last night, and he came out with one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.
He said that the only reason we weren't in an ice now (actually since 7000 years ago) was that man had altered the climate by burning land to clear for crops
Quite astonishingly daft!

There was an IT "expert" on TV yesterday and apparently he has found an error in the software the Met Office has written to process its data and carry out predictions....
.....the error created means
Your like this....................
not!!!
apparently they have under estimated the amount of global warming in the future

More of the same ... see .... EU Referendum: Quality, not volume
"... The global warming began falling in Staten Island NY at 8 am their time (five hours behind the UK). By the time it has finished, perhaps by tomorrow morning, 12-14 inches may have accumulated, whipped up by strong winds, possibly gusting to hurricane force.
Not under any conceivable circumstances however, are the warmists prepared to concede that this – or the exceptionally hard winter throughout the northern hemisphere – in any way affects their beliefs.
Instead, we hear tell that climate scientists must do more to work out how exceptionally cold winters or a dip in world temperatures fit their theories of global warming if they are to persuade an increasingly sceptical public ......"

Indeed, there is a story on BBC news today about a huge iceberg in the southern ocean which they say will could give us cold winters in the northern hemisphere for years to come.
It just shows there are so many variables in climate that they really don't know how it all works.

BBC ... BBC forecast for Met Office: changeable - Times Online
The contract's up in April so they're out to tender.
"... BUFFETED by complaints about its inaccurate weather forecasts, the Met Office now faces being dumped by the BBC after almost 90 years.
The Met Office contract with the BBC expires in April and the broadcaster has begun talks with Metra, the national forecaster for New Zealand, as a possible alternative.
....
Metra already produces graphics for the BBC, including the 3-D weather map that made some viewers feel sick when it was introduced in 2005. Weather Commerce, Metra’s UK subsidiary, has already usurped the Met Office in supplying forecasts to Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose ..."

See Goebbels And The “Big Lie”
"... **** propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels was the master of the “big lie” tactic in which a lie, no matter how outrageous, is repeated often enough that it will eventually be accepted as truth. Goebbels explained: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” ..."
No need for me to add anything further.

Unless you think Goerbbels kept accurate temperature data
