Oops! Now New Zealand NIWA Accused Of Faking Data
Posted on November 26, 2009
From Anthony Watts through a report from the Climate Science Coalition of New Zealand, we find some more climate alarmist chicanery
The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn’t there.
The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is not confined to just Britain’s CRU climate research centre.
In New Zealand’s case, the figures published on NIWA’s [the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research] website suggest a strong warming trend in New Zealand over the past century:
The figure they released
But, taking a look at the real, raw data, we get
As Anthony points out
Gone is the relentless rising temperature trend, and instead there appears to have been a much smaller growth in warming, consistent with the warming up of the planet after the end of the Little Ice Age in 1850.
The house of cards is falling, climate alarmists. It will be interesting to see what happens when NASA and the Goddard Center are forced to release their raw data. Look, we “skeptics” and “deniers” do not deny that there has been warming since the end of the Little Ice Age. We deny that Mankind is mostly, or solely, responsible for it, and, if you were really interested in real science, rather then agenda based science, you would have our same opinion. You’ve created a tenuous link between CO2 release and rising temps, and, when that didn’t pan out fully, what with the cooler years, you started calling it climate change, to somehow hide how the release of greenhouse gasses, things that hold in, to put it imprecisely, heat, can cause a decline or stagnant temps. You’ve faked links to all around, such as with Mt. Kilimanjaro. Perhaps it’s time for you to be honest, and get interested in real science, eh?
Meanwhile, it appears that several of the gents involved in the ClimateGate emails might have broken laws.

The millions of wasted dollars that have been dumped into this boondoggle could bail out the stimulus boondoggle. The biggest loser in this production is the Scientist. I don’t know about everyone else, but I will not be so quick to listen the next time some scientist comes out to say “The sky is falling”. Gore, I guess the bubble has burst. Don’t worry thought, there are plenty of people who will still believe and donate.

The data in the first graph looks phony. I would expect the “average” line to be related to the integrated data points in a much more stronger way. (Simpson’s rule for integration.)

The second graph looks much more believable. The relation between the “average” line and the integral of the raw data points “squares” a lot better.
