Exposed: How world leaders were duped into investing billions over manipulated global warming data
- The Mail on Sunday can reveal a landmark paper exaggerated global warming
- It was rushed through and timed to influence the Paris agreement on climate change
- America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration broke its own rules
- The report claimed the pause in global warming never existed, but it was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data
The Mail on Sunday today
reveals astonishing evidence that the organisation that is the world’s
leading source of climate data rushed to publish a landmark paper that
exaggerated global warming and was timed to influence the historic Paris
Agreement on climate change.
A
high-level whistleblower has told this newspaper that America’s National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) breached its own rules on
scientific integrity when it published the sensational but flawed
report, aimed at making the maximum possible impact on world leaders
including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN climate conference in
Paris in 2015.
The report claimed that
the ‘pause’ or ‘slowdown’ in global warming in the period since 1998 –
revealed by UN scientists in 2013 – never existed, and that world
temperatures had been rising faster than scientists expected. Launched
by NOAA with a public relations fanfare, it was splashed across the
world’s media, and cited repeatedly by politicians and policy makers.
But
the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an
impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable evidence
that the paper was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data.
