Britain's Met Office To ReEvaluate 160 Years of Climate Data

According to Britain’s The Times, the “The Met Office” will re-examine 160 year’s worth of climate data. According to the article, the Met Office is highly dependent upon CRU data and reports, but is a repository for climate data, mostly from oceans.

The Met is requesting that 188 countries allow the publication of their data. But it is also noted that land data in the past has come from the CRU.

The re-evaluation will take 3 years to finish, the Times reports. It also reports that the British government is trying to stop the Met Office effort to re-evaluate. The British government has of course become highly socialistic and Leftist in the past run-up to this time. The excuse for trying quash the effort is that it might give ammunition to AGW skeptics (which is not a good thing for Leftist policies obviously).

However, the Met Office can hardly be considered an objective source for AGW evaluation, having been closely tied with CRU, and dependent upon CRU data and reports for its own findings. Its promise of developing a completely open and transparent method of data gathering, evaluation, and climate modeling, is promising, but dubious. For example, will they provide station calibration, calibration of the test tools back to world standards, and certification of calibrators, just to name some basic requirements for credibility.

Another interesting factor is reported from an African climate scientist, who found that low daily temperatures were rising, but that daily high temperatures were constant. This meant that while the mean temperatures showed rising values, the actual temperature activity was a narrowing of high/low daily limits. This sort of variable is why all...everything... must be released for independent examination.

How is independent examination defined? What entity or group of individuals would be considered independent and objective? Is there anyone left who is not either a true believer in AGW or else branded a "denier"? Only by totally open information, top to bottom, with credible readings and calibrations, will this be resolved. But of course that is what "deniers" have called for all along, and what the elitists denied.
