Was 2022 the U.K.’s Hottest Year on Record - Poor Quality Data And Bad Science Suggest We Should Be Sceptical

Scientists at the UK's official weather reporting organisation, the Met Office and 'science journalists' in the government's propaganda mouthpieces collectively known as mainstream media are joyfully reporting that  that the U.K. is on track to record its ‘hottest’ year ever (well at least since records began about 150 years ago). Thanks to a mild winter (January to March and autumn (mid - September to mid - December and a genuinely wonderful summer by British standards, the average temperature in 2022 is set to come in at 9.99oC, up from the previous 2014 record of 9.88oC. But how reliable is this, or any of, the figures we are fed in connection with 'net zero' propanganda and rising global temperatures, when measured against accurate satellite data

In fact the global mean temperature has not moved for over eight years. And before that, after peaking in 1998 average temperature dropped sharply for a few years before returning to the same level in 2013, after which there was another pause in what the climate change Cassandras claim is a constantly rising trend, until 2022. The infographic above, which is based in satellite data shows the Met Office claims that each year since hass been warmer than the last is not based on real world data. It has long been known that The Met Office and academics in various UK universities rely on 'adjusted' data from surface measurements, and it would appear their results owe a lot to some factor not related to actual weather. One suspect is increasing urban heat corruption, as well as some curious sitings of measuring devices.

The most curious placing of a measuring device (or perhaps not if you have a nasty suspicious mind like us Boggart Bloggers,) is half way down the runway of a military airbase that houses two squadrons of Typhoon fighter jets. The Met Office tells us that one of the weather extremes of 2022 was a high of 40.3oC on July 19th. Regular readers will recall that this blog has commented before on the bizarre coincidence which saw temperatures at that measuring station soar briefly to a record high for the UK at the same time as several of the jets were taking off for a training flight. Other reports back up our suspicions that the ‘record’ at RAF Coningsby, where that temperature high held the for only 60 seconds at 3.12pm are justified.

The Met Office first explained that the sudden rise could have been due to cloud cover, but a satellite photo shows clear skies across the area at that time and throughout the afternoon. Investigative reporters have since established that at least two Typhoon jet were operating at the base at the time. The Met Office has ignored all subsequent questions about the claim.

So far we have only looked at the UK, but this kind of scientific jiggery pokery is going on all around the globe as World Government propagandists try to whip up fear levels over impending climate disaster to match those reached at the hight of the COVID Biblical Plague scare a couple of years ago.

There is no scientifically organised system of data collection, other than the satellite date, (wich as has been mentioned is not used by government departments or universities when running their mathematicalo models of the climate. Instead we have an irregular scattering of thermometer readings from across the globe, which, it is no coincidence, are mostly sited in wealthy and socially developed western countries. Data is taken from these and adjusted (manipulated.)

Where there happen to be no thermometers, which is most of the world, and nowhere in the oceans for obvious reasons, the temperature is simply guessed at. From this total fiasco of a dataset of 'adjusted' (manipulated) data, we are led to believe that some bunch of government funded data propagandists tasked with politicising the weather through propaganda, tell us which year was warmer than previous years, often by hundredths of a degree. They also claim to know beyond doubt that the warming is caused by Carbon Dioxide emissions from human activities because "the science is settled," although any competent scientists will tell you science is never settled because the scientific method is founded on the constant questioning of everything.

Unfortunately it turns out the thermometers used to collect data from surface measuring stations are dogged by accuracy problems. They may have started in an empty field in the early 20th century and 100 years later are surrounded by buildings and heat sources they were never designed to measure to these kinds of accuracies and the error bars will mostly be larger than the temperature claimed.

We can also see that since temperatures around the world are hardly rising at all (only a fraction of one degree in the past 100 years,) despite more and more CO2 going into the atmosphere, that there was this shift to declare “hottest years”, as for most of the public this will lead them to assume that humans are indeed warming up the planet, when infact for 20 years warming has been negligible. Or as we saw in one of the Climategate emails that embarrassed the climate con artists “We cannot account for the lack of warming”.

A more honest lead author at the IPCC admitted. “There must be something wrong with our models, as a 20 year pause in global warming does not occur in any of them” —–(You won’t hear any of that on the BBC or read it in national newspapers, will you?) Plus, in all of these alarmist claims there is the ever-present bogey man of ECS (Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity)—–The number that tells us whether there will be mild warming or serious warming. —–The number is still UNKNOWN, and alarmists simply assume in their models that ECS is a large number, which kind of explains why their models are always WRONG.

So when the alarmist and even hysterical reports that 2022 was the hottest year ever, ever, ever. Woe,woe and thrice woe, we're all going to die, take it with a pinch of salt. The politicians are just trying to grab more power and the scientists are trying to grab more money via research grants.

Official Advice - Prepare For Blackouts This Winter
The UK government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call a "reasonable worst-case scenario" for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media. Naturally they are blaming this on the embargo on importing gas from Russia but in reality Britain has never imported any more than a small amout of its gas from Russia. The real reason politicians and energy company CEOs are panicking is entirely due to their obession with obtaining all our energy from intermittent sources like wind and sunshine ...

It Looks As If Carbon Credits Scam Has INCREASED CO2 Emissions


As the climate change scare becomes more and more exposed for the money making fraud it always was, they green weirdie beardie, rope sandal wearing tree huggers get more hysterical and stupid in their arguments that we must all return to medieval lifestyles, the billionaires like Al Gore who hope to profit from it keep flogging the dead horse and the angrier and more vicious the left wing hate mobs become in their witch hunts.

Arrogance, Intolerance, Snobbishness and Corrupt, Self Interested Practices. It's modern science.

The academic field of climate science it especially notable for this.

p>Global Warming Is Not Causing Any Polar Ice Cap Meltdown Says NASA
Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.

Climate Experts Smeared by Media and Greenpeace for Debunking Global Warming
Anyone who understood basic arithmetic (like how to work out an average) and took the trouble to examine the 'science' that backed the climate change scare understood the whole thing was a fraud. And plenty of honest scientists were not afraid to say so. But those who went public faced hate attacks and having their careers trashed. Now however, as evidence exposes the lies of the global warming lobby, they are starting to come forward.

The Climate Bollocks Of Bill Nye The Stupidity Guy
Nothing feels quite as goodf these days as exposing the idiotic pomposity of another self styled 'scientist'.

Why are people sceptical about climate change?
Forget the leftie hate mobs for the moment, ignore their claims that 'the science is settled' and any talk of 'the scientific consensus, there is a lot more to the debate than simple minded science worshippers will admit. Which explains of course why they are so desperate to suppress open discussion of the issue.
