The government, so‑called climate experts, and the mainstream media trumpeting ‘record’ Australian temperatures should be embarrassed to show their faces after the revelations of the East Anglia University ‘Climategate’ scandal, Citizens Electoral Council leader Craig Isherwood declared today.

“Right now, much of the Northern Hemisphere is facing the coldest winter in decades and yet the media parades around the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s latest report that our nation has supposedly been warming for every decade since the 1940s.

“However, as the Climategate emails reveal, Australian weather records were considered to be—quote—‘a bloody mess’, riddled with entry errors, duplication and inaccuracies.”

Mr Isherwood pointed to the Climategate documents which referred specifically to Australia, and its at‑best‑incompetent temperature records. One document, titled “HARRY‑READ‑ME”, identifies a climate programmer’s dilemma when dealing with the Australian weather data: “getting seriously fed up with the state of the Australian data. so many new stations have been introduced, so many false references.. so many changes that aren’t documented. … bewildering”.

The Cobar Airport data was reported as follows: “Now looking at the dates.. something bad has happened, hasn’t it. COBAR AIRPORT AWS [automatic weather station] cannot start in 1962, it didn’t open until 1993!”

Mr Isherwood continued: “The actual fact is that satellite temperature data shows average global temperature is now on the decline—the warmest year was back in 1998. Look at the weather right now.

“The U.K. faces its coldest winter in 30 years as reported in the Guardian yesterday. The U.S. will be experiencing the coldest weather it has faced in 25 years, according to the head meteorologist at AccuWeather.com and the Chinese capital Beijing is currently in the grip of the coldest weather in 20 years. Schools in Beijing were shut after it was hit by the heaviest daily snowfall since 1951 on 3^rd January, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. North China braces for the coldest weather since the 1950s.

“The media also insists pushing another big lie”, continued Mr Isherwood, “that there’s only a handful of scientists in the global warming ‘sceptic’ camp. In actual fact, the opposite is true. Thousands of scientists have signed petitions and letters exposing the global warming scam, including in one petition, 31,000 scientists that included more than 9,000 scientists with PhDs.”

The media exults 2,500 IPCC scientists, implying they agree with the official IPCC propaganda, but many IPCC scientists do not agree with the official line.* Even IPCC Vice‑Chair Prof. Yuri Izrael said, “there is no proven link between human activity and global warming” and “I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified. There is no serious threat to the climate.”

Mr Isherwood concluded, “The fact is, by far most scientists don’t subscribe to the quack science peddled by Al Gore—it’s just the media that wants to create this perception, because they are merely agents for the British financial oligarchy that is still desperate to ram through their carbon trading scheme to tax you to death—no pun intended. After the flop of Copenhagen and the Climategate scandal, they are desperate.”

* This is what some of the many dissenting IPCC scientists have to say:

“I’ve often heard it said that there is a consensus of thousands of scientists (who say) humans are causing a catastrophic change to the climate system. Well, I am one scientist, and there are many, that simply think that is not true.”
Prof. John Christy, IPCC lead author and head of Alabama’s Earth System Science Centre

“There is no substantive basis for predictions of sizeable global warming due to observed increases in minor greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons.”
Prof. Richard Lindzen, former IPCC lead author and meteorology professor at MIT

“Resistance to all efforts to try and discuss or rectify these problems has convinced me that normal scientific procedures are not only rejected by the IPCC, but that this practice is endemic, and was part of the organisation from the very beginning. I therefore consider that the IPCC is fundamentally corrupt.”
Dr. Vincent Gray, a member of the IPCC Expert Reviewers Panel

“It is beyond me why my (IPCC) colleagues would utilise the media to push an unsupported agenda that recent hurricane activity has been due to global warming … I personally cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre‑conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound.”
Dr. Christopher Landsea, former IPCC author and hurricane expert

“The process used to produce the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) is far from ideal and may be distorting the real messages from the available science. Some government delegates influencing the SPM do not understand the methodologies being used and misinterpret or contradict the lead authors.”
