Climate Data Anomalies

The Telegraph (U.K.) reports suspicions that climate data may have been "fiddled" or adjusted in systematic ways to demonstrate global warming not otherwise observable by alternate methods. Concern is strong enough that a panel of scientists has been established to investigate the issue.

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has enlisted an international team of five distinguished scientists to carry out a full inquiry into just how far these manipulations of the data may have distorted our picture of what is really happening to global temperatures.

When commitment to a particular scientific theory or position becomes a secular religion, as AGW has become for some, its true believers bend reality to fit the model. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
