The Telegraph: A panel has been appointed to check into whether global warming statistics are being manipulated. An excerpt:
My cue for those pieces was the evidence multiplying from across the world that something very odd has been going on with those official surface temperature records, all of which ultimately rely on data compiled by NOAA’s GHCN. Careful analysts have come up with hundreds of examples of how the original data recorded by 3,000-odd weather stations has been “adjusted”, to exaggerate the degree to which the Earth has actually been warming. Figures from earlier decades have repeatedly been adjusted downwards and more recent data adjusted upwards, to show the Earth having warmed much more dramatically than the original data justified.

This may be the most underreported potential scandal in modern history. It is amazing how no major US outlets, except perhaps the WSJ, will touch this issue. It is also interesting that the President is getting louder and louder on this issue and more aggressively painting anyone who dares to ask questions as extremists. Science should be Science. Not always "Political Science".
"Settled science" should always be a red flag phrase. There is nothing quite so unsettled as science.
