It seems that yet more errors were found in Met office data. All met data is to be reanalyzed. It would be better if all this data was made availible on the internet, so everyone can look at it.
LONDON: The British Meteorological Office has been forced to correct its global temperature records after a science blogger discovered that Australian weather data had been misused or discarded.
The mistakes were discovered by Dr John Graham-Cumming when the temperature records were made public by the office in December in the wake of the East Anglia University email scandal.
Dr Graham-Cumming, a London mathematician and computer programmer who describes himself as a ''computer geek'', found that data from seven weather stations in Australia had been accidentally discarded while another 112 Australian stations - or 28 per cent of the Oceania total - had not been fully included in the calculations.
''What appears to have happened is that the Met Office calculated the averages and then got more data from Oceania and then failed to update the averages,'' Dr Graham-Cumming said.
''The site with the greatest error was Napier Nelson Park, in New Zealand, where the average temperature was off by more than 1 degree. That's a lot given that the total warming seen since the 1970s is less than 1 degree and for this location the Met Office had it more than 1 degree hotter than it is. Had the error I'd found been more widespread, it could have had a real effect on the overall picture.''

When will David Suzuki face prosecution?
He is a liar, and an alarmist.
These are not errors. An error, as described by Webster is: "Something said, believed, or done incorrectly."
A deception is: "Something done to mislead by false-hood."
AGW is a deception perpetrated with malice aforethought.
I would support a Royal Commission to investigate the part our own community of experts employed on the federal payroll.
Did our own staff hide, ignore real science for the cooked data?
