In Climate: The Movie, William Happer, the former physics professor at Princeton, describes the Central England Temperature (CET) record as a “world treasure” since it provides continuous recordings from 1659 – over 350 years. It shows a rise just over 1°C from the depths of the Little Ice Age to the present day. These days, the CET is under the control of the politicised Met Office, keen to catastrophise weather and climate in the interest of promoting Net Zero. Recent revisions have retrospectively cooled the near past and boosted readings from the last 20 years. In addition, the Daily Sceptic can reveal that two of the three measuring stations currently used to add to this scientific treasure are taken from near-junk class 4 sites that come with official ‘uncertainties’ of up to 2°C.
Class 4 site Pershore College was added in 2006 and joined Stonyhurst, also class 4. The other site Rothamsted is a pristine class 1 site and is deemed to provide an accurate reading of the surrounding air temperature away from natural and artificial heat corruptions. Classification and ‘uncertainties’ by class are set by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). Quite why the Met Office can’t find three class 1 sites in the whole central England area is a bit of a mystery, although a clue might be provided by the recent freedom of information request the Daily Sceptic made to the organisation. We discovered that nearly eight out of 10 Met Office measuring stations across the United Kingdom were sited in near-junk class 4 and junk class 5. The latter class comes with WMO prescribed ‘uncertainties’ up to 5°C. Class 1 sites number just 24 and make up only 6.3% of the total.
At the very least, given the scientific importance of the CET, the Met Office could at least move the stations to more suitable nearby locations away from the disqualifying heat corruptions.
But if adding near-junk figures to the collection is not bad enough, the investigative science writer Paul Homewood last year discovered considerable tampering in 2022 with the recent CET record. He initially found that in version one, the summer of 1995 had been 0.1°C warmer than 2018. In version 2, the two years swapped places with 1995 cooled by 0.07°C and 2018 warmed by 0.13°C. Alerted to these changes, Homewood then analysed the full record from version 1 to 2, and the graph below shows what he found.
As can be seen, the adjustments up to 1970 are small with ups and downs offsetting each other. Homewood then found that the years from 1970 to 2003 had been cooled markedly, followed by significant rises to 2022. Homewood concludes that “unfortunately it is part of a much wider tampering with temperature globally – and the tampering is always one way, cooling the past and heating the present”. Given that we now know that the Met Office has been using class 4 statistics for two thirds of its database since 2006, the recent higher adjustments would seem to call for clarifying explanations from the state-funded Met Office.
But explanations from the Met Office are thin on the ground. It continues to promote a 60 second spike to 40.3°C at RAF Coningsby at 3.12pm on July 19 in 2022 as a U.K. temperature record, despite the known presence of three typhoon jets attempting to land around the same time. The record has become a national joke, even more so after the Daily Sceptic revealed that Coningsby is a class 3 site with an ‘uncertainty’ of 1°C. All that can be said is that at least Coningsby replaced the previous class 5 record set at Cambridge Botanic Gardens in 2019.
Last month, the Daily Sceptic analysed all the heat records declared by the Met Office since 2000 and found that all bar two should be disqualified. Many of them had been set in junk class 5 and most of the rest were in class 4. Using its highly compromised data with massive ‘uncertainties’ rife throughout the database, the Met Office publicises precision down to one hundredth of a degree, declaring, for instance, that last year was only 0.06°C cooler than the ‘record’ year of 2022. Paul Homewood suggests that if the Met Office wants to continue using its existing station measurements, it should show a warning that the margin of error is so great, “that they have no statistical significance at all”.
The Met Office refuses to return all calls from the Daily Sceptic. We would be more than happy to report any explanations it might have, and discuss its work, if required, in public. Alas, to date, communication has been brief and, frankly, a bit childish. Last December, we reported on a Met Office proposal to ditch a 30-year temperature trend in favour of a Net Zero-supporting merger of 10 years’ past data with 10 years’ future model predictions. Thus, it would be easier to spot when the 1.5°C threshold was crossed, it was argued. Noting that we had taken three weeks to report the plan, Professor Richard Betts, lead author and head of climate impacts, tweeted: “I suppose our paper does use big words like ‘temperature’ so maybe they had to get a grown-up to help”.

I don’t watch or listen to them.
They are called the legacy media for a reason.
Most people get their news elsewhere – and for good reason – they cannot be trusted to tell the truth nor cover allegedly controversial issues which are only controversial because the opponents don’t want the public told the truth.

Why the Establishment Hates This Man | Tommy Robinson | EP 462 Jordan B Peterson Jul 8, 2024
Dr. Jordan Peterson and Tammy Peterson sit down in-person with journalist and activist Tommy Robinson. They discuss why he was recently detained in Calgary, the lawfare being waged against him and the film he is attempting to screen, the story behind the film, why he became an activist, the brutality of the UK grooming gangs, and the cowardice of the government that is actively enabling it.
Tommy Robinson is a British journalist and activist who first became an establishment target after reporting on the grooming gangs in London. From then on he and his family have suffered sacrifice and punishment for attempting to out those who are enabling the grotesque brutality of Islamic extremism. This episode was recorded on June 30, 2024
Very few of the thousands of child rapists in the grooming gangs were prosecuted. Only a handful in each UK town where the gangs had been allowed to operate free of UK police interference.
One reason for this is that the UK has become a recognised centre for planning muslim terrorist attacks.
For decades MI5 have used and controlled paedophiles as assets including senior figures in positions of authority in the UK.
How MI5 protected child sex abusers in the notorious Kincora Boys’ HomeJournalist Chris Moore – the author of book ‘The Kincora Scandal’ – writes about how the secret service helped cover up sex abuse
Kincora is just one example. There were similar examples of state childrens’ homes Wales, UK being used for similar purposes to provide children to paedophiles in prominent positions in the UK and so keep them under control doing what MI5’s masters wanted them to do by blackmail.
Tommy Robinson’s home town of Luton UK was named by the CIA as the centre for terrorist activities across Europe. The fertilizer bomb plot was planned in Luton. The UK 7/7 attacks got their bombs in Luton. The Stockholm bomber was radicalized in Luton. Terrorist attack after terrorist attack was orchestrated from Luton.
So the British Establishment is so perverted that it is considered a reasonable trade off to have innocent white British girls aged 12 and 13 to be groomed and then forced into prostitution whilst their families could do nothing as the British police stood aside to let it all happen.
And they won’t tell you that on The BBC, Sky, Channel 4 or in any of the legacy media.
If you want the BBC’s version and Sweeney’s version you can read some of it here – which is at odds with Tommy Robinson’s account and amounts to a denial of the documentary faking allegations by Robinson:
BBC journalist leaves after 17 years with parting shot at Tommy Robinson: ‘He’s a complete c***’ Lizzie Dearden Home Affairs Correspondent The Independent Thursday 03 October 2019
What is difficult to understand is why in 2019 Sweeney felt he had to leave the BBC merely for “some offensive and inappropriate remarks”.
Others who engaged in far more serious conduct like most recently Huw Edwards were not sacked – at least in Edwards’ case not until he had admitted paedophile activies and pleaded guitly in court and was convicted in court.
I remember Pano-Drama. Think it was back in 2018 and it really opened my eyes to the depth of the mendacity of the MSM.
You must turn off all msm. It is not fit for purpose and serves no purpose. Turn it off. See how good it feels.
It’s a bit fucking late to have this sentiment now, Boris.
Absolute bell end.
Yes you beat me to it ! From king of the castle to news paper columnist
He was a very ‘sound’ columnist before entering Parliament and seems to be reverting to type now.
WTF happened in between?
And this tactic really gets my goat
“We have a problem with criminal gangs who have, for years, been bringing migrants across the English Channel in small boats.”
The criminals are in the boats.
Don’t make it out that the illegals are forced across the channel by people-traffickers selling them into the sex trade. The illegals are paying customers.
“WTF happened in between?”
Nothing.
Talk is cheap.
Boris has no backbone. He’s a posh twat acting as a salesman.
I agree with what he says and writes, but he can’t execute.
“Got Brexit done.” I could have done that in one second: “we’ve left the building, bye!” Done.
Imagine if you or I (or any of the other fine commenters on DS) somehow managed to be in a position to stop the rot and enact some real change for the better.
And then right-royally screwed up and did the opposite.
As a minimum, we’d surely feel that our right to be heard had been forfeited. And some of us would probably do the honourable thing in the library, with a bottle of whisky and a revolver.
Yes all I can say is the stopped Clock analogy. But he himself brought an illegal immigrant amnesty when he was London Mayor. The Tories lied in both their manifestoes and wonder why there is such little trust left in politics. Good discussion on that in the latest Neil Oliver Show.
And he had another little job in between; Mayor of London. Must have done something then!
Yep
Leave Bunter in the gutter where he belongs – scum of the earth.
But Boris where were you when we needed you ! You could have saved us from all this !!!!… Too Late to start moaning now ! You had an 80 seat majority FFS !!!!
“Starmer’s Irregulars” makes them sound like an invading army.
Well that is something he got right – they are an invading army.
Uncle Kneel’s Starmtroopers.
Connor Tomlinson does an excellent job at covering all the negatives this relentless mass immigration results in. I think it’s safe to say the jury’s in and we’re not benefitting from it in any way, shape or form. On the contrary, it’s only the migrants themselves that get any benefits;
”Immigrants also commit different kinds of crime to native Brits. Outside Europe, East Asia, and the Anglosphere, the worth of a woman or child is purely instrumental to the power or pleasure of the most violent man. Hence why Islamic honour-based violence has risen by 60% in two years and by 193% since 2016. When Britain sees a 75% annual rise in acid attacks on women, which formerly only occurred in the Middle East, south Asia, and Africa, we might be forgiven for supposing that we are dealing here with an imported pastime.
Violence against women and girls is not only a phenomenon within immigrant households. Anti-white rape gangs in towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford have groomed over 4,000 girls. A 2020 Home Office review found the Pakistani perpetrators were three times more likely than white Britons to commit child sexual offences. A GB News investigation found that 1 in every 2,200 Muslim males, and 1 in 1,700 Pakistanis, have been prosecuted for child sex offences between 1997 and 2017.
Rather than tailor immigration policy accordingly, the annual increase in illegal entrants presents another avenue for predators to exploit British women and girls. The BBC reports that a record 18,467 people or so have broken into Britain via the English Channel already in 2024.
Foreign criminals regard our wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters as the spoils of war. The government knows about this, and does nothing. What more is to be debated here?
The point being made is that every one of these criminals does not need to be here. Every one of their victims would be alive, unmolested, if not for government policy. Every crime committed by an immigrant is both an avoidable tragedy, and a result of choices made by politicians, civil servants, lawyers, and NGOs.”

All true of course. It is interesting, however, that it always seems to be that there only two types of people – bad males and females. Nothing inbetween and nothing on either side. I’m always reminded of when Boko Haram hit the headlines in 2014 after taking two hundred odd girls hostage. An international outcry was heard and every single member of polite society showed their anger and support. This same terror group had been butchering Christian boys for years – thousands has been slaughtered because they posed a potential threat – yet not a dickie bird to be heard from anyone. It’s almost as if Western society only values female life. We should try to remember that these animals are more likely to rape women but kill men. As with all things in life, if we want to resist then we should unite and not see everything through a single lens.
I live in a fairly small town in East Central Scotland. Maybe 20,000 people. In the last year alone I have noticed an astonishing amount of new arrivals, mostly Black and Asian. They are appearing out of thin air. ——-Liberal Progressive open border people would say to me “What have you got against Black and Asian people then”? —-The answer is NOTHING. But I say to them “Why are you bringing these people here in such huge numbers”? “How many people do you think can comfortably live in this country and does it not bother you that you are changing the countries demographic so that it is turning into something that looks more like Bangladesh and Nigeria than the place our parents grew up in”? ——————-Clearly it does not
Valid points like that is what 2TK is trying to silence!
I guess this means the rioters should now be called ‘irregular protesters’?
Oh no. “Hard right” will do nicely for these enemies of the state.
As the judge said….You can no longer have “anti-establishment views”.
Johnson is despicable.
Johnson is a . . . johnson.
Speaking of which, do you think this dirty b’stard got arrested? If he’d had a Union Jack anywhere on his person he would have, but chances are he wouldn’t be doing this in the first place. But as things stand, ‘cultural differences’ give many dirtbags and psychos a free pass. Not an isolated incident either as there’s loads of similar vids circulating of men doing this on public transport;
”Why should we be subjected to this as women . I hope it was reported to police. Or may be women feel police won’t take us seriously! Glad someone caught this on camera though!”

Indeed.
Not mentally ill and therefore understandable (though still unacceptable) – normal behaviour for a black man-child.
Nothing better that Nuremberg 2 for his types. Also people like Piers Morgan who used his huge platform to shame those that saw through the Covid PsyOp!
Is this the same bloke who locked us in our houses, closed the schools, tried to introduce vaccine passports, bankrupted the country & effectively banned free speech?
You must be mistaken. He’s a lovely fella. Just look at his friendly scarecrow mop. Lovely.
I would have hoped that the DS treated its readers and contributors with a little more respect. Trying to shovel this sort of nonsense down our throats smacks of the same contempt shown by MSM and the State. Read the room Toby.
And even organisations like this one have things crawling out of the woodwork now: BBC jab injury story, broadcast on “Points West” 23/8/2024: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2g921rd2lo . Somewhat biased about risk assessments, a cynic might observe – after all, why would someone like that be using a novel drug as early as that at all?
Yes maybe this article would be better received on Sp!ked. After all, they think the Warp Speed was a wonderful thing on there.
Johnson sounding off about blatantly illegal immigration is about as palatable as him railing against adultery.
It is like Mystic Meg complaining about folk who don’t adopt a rational and common sense approach to life.
Bozo forfeited any right to be heard when he surrendered to the Davos Deviants in March 2020.
I’m not interested in anything that Fat Oaf has to say about anything.
For 2+ years, he stood at the Downing St Lectern and at the Dispatch Box blatantly lying about the dangers of Covid ….. knowing full well that it was a Low Consequence Infectious Disease.
He stripped us of our Civil and Human Rights; allowed Sunak to blow up the economy; Big Pharma to kill thousands and injure millions with their dodgy concoction; and he put in place the rules to import millions of low-paid, low-skill immigrants and their extended families AND inflicted the Net Zero Lunacy on us.
He did more long-term damage to this country than Hitler.
I don’t call them illegal or irregular migrants.
They’re criminals, breaking and entering into this country, so that’s what I call them.
The entire Political Class are parasites. Some of the parasites are just worse. —LABOUR
He also made so much money he was able to buy £3m property!!
Davos rewards? maybe just like the treasonous Theresa May.
Superb post.
Here’s another bandwagon the clown is jumping on! Firstly Brexit, which he erroneously claimed as his doing and now illegal immigration which Farage had campaigned against and now Johnson is speaking out about – he is beneath contempt!
The Liberal Progressive Political Class don’t protect the border because they don’t think there should be one.
Labour want to STOP THE BOATS, but the bad news is they want to START THE SHIPS.
The use of the word irregular is double newspeak. The instances of small boats arriving seems to be very regular indeed.
This excellent short article makes a welcome accompaniment to the above article. How the likes of Blackrock run the world.
https://off-guardian.org/2024/08/23/fascism-2-0-globalism-and-the-subjects-of-interest/
“According to a report by Oxfam, during the pandemic, the world’s wealthiest individuals saw their fortunes rise dramatically, with the ten richest men doubling their wealth from $700 billion to $1.5 trillion. This surge highlights a broader trend where the wealthiest 1% gained $1.4 trillion.
Meanwhile, the world’s poor and middle classes, including small and medium-sized businesses, collectively lost around $1.3 trillion due to economic disruptions.
Just consider the local shops people were no longer visiting during lockdown. Instead, of course, they were buying from Amazon.”
These irregulars arrive on a very regular basis – regular as clockwork!
Never forgive or forget the politicians who are doing this
Man throws stones into own glass house.
I am sorry, but I never want to hear anything Boris Johnson has to say ever again.
He was useless as a leader. He never solved the problem of illegal immigration’s despite having a huge majority in parliament.
I have absolutely no time for this man.
What is that call when a government decides to change the definition of words? Communism, insanity, incompetence?
