"On August 26, the U.K. Met Office, Britain's official meteorological service, found itself at the center of a scandal after evidence emerged suggesting it was inventing temperature data from over 100 non-existent weather stations. This revelation, uncovered by citizen journalist Ray Sanders and reported by the Climate Skeptic, raises serious questions about the integrity of scientific data and the government's climate policies. The implications are profound, as the fabricated data has been used to inform the U.K.'s drive toward net-zero emissions."
"The investigation by Ray Sanders revealed that the U.K. Met Office has over 100 non-existent weather stations where it estimates temperature data using information from purportedly "well-correlated neighboring sites." However, when Sanders visited these locations, he found that many of the alleged "neighboring sites" were either closed or non-existent. For instance, the station at Dungeness, which closed in 1986, continues to report temperature data to the second decimal place."
The U.K. Met Office is accused of generating estimated temperature readings for over 100 non-existent weather stations by inferring values from supposedly 'well-correlated neighboring sites.' Many of the referenced neighboring sites are themselves closed or non-existent. Multiple FOI requests seeking clarification were dismissed as 'vexatious.' Specific cases include Dungeness, closed in 1986 yet still reporting temperatures to two decimal places, and Lowestoft, closed in 2010 but listed as open and still reporting. The estimated data have been used in climate datasets that inform net-zero emissions policies and energy pricing. Experts are calling for a public correction to prevent scientific and policy errors.
