The Met Office is in denial as it rates almost all its temperature stations as 'Excellent', 'Good' or 'Satisfactory' despite nearly 80% being given junk status by the World Meteorological Organisation, says Chris Morrison.
The Met Office has started reporting "extreme" temperatures, the better to spread alarm. What it doesn't tell you is its record temperatures come from 'junk' stations surrounded by newly built houses and solar panels.
The highest temperature of the year was recorded by the Met Office just yards from a massive heat-generating electricity sub-station, reports Chris Morrison, the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.
The Met Office's hyped up claims of record-breaking temperatures are as flawed as the shoddy temperature measuring network they're based on, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.
