The UK Met Office are on the hook and wriggling like mad to avoid answering very simple, but rather awkward, questions. Read all about it in this excellent summary.
It’s not only the Met Office that are feeling the heat, but their boss, the minister who has them in his portfolio. Peter Kyle MP has a choice. He can either defend the indefensible behaviour or he can demand changes.
I have written to him via my MP to ask three simple questions:
1. 1. Will
he ask the Met Office to issue a public apology for continuing to pass off data
as if it was from over 100 weather stations for many years after they had
closed them?
2. 2. Will
he call for the Met Office to only use CIMO class 1 or 2 stations to announce
record temperatures?
3. 3. Does
he agree that new weather stations should only be approved if they achieve CIMO
class 1 or 2 status?
