This is a very short post to prove the above point. There are principles in science that have to be adhered to. Simply saying “we are important so you must believe us” is not science it is an Appeal to Authority and a logical fallacy. The quotes below are all from a newly produced Met Office webpage – their words not mine. {note my bolds below}.
“Despite online speculation, much of which demonstrates a clear misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the facts, Met Office weather stations are subject to stringent national and international guidelines.“
“We’re a world-leading organisation when it comes to observing our weather and the UK’s changing climate. The Met Office team carries out hundreds of site inspections every year, ensuring adherence to the highest standards, both nationally and internationally.”
“The efforts of a small number of people to undermine the integrity of Met Office observations by obscuring or misrepresenting the facts is an attempt to undermine decades of robust science around the world’s changing climate.“
“For absolute clarity, the proximity and scale of any artificial heat sources, areas of water and reflective surfaces is carefully considered by our team of experts and is included in Met Office classifications of sites. The integrity of data collected is of paramount importance to the Met Office, as well as the dedicated experts who inspect and maintain our weather station network.“
“”We understand that the data from thousands of independent global weather stations (over the last seven decades) which show a warming trend may be an uncomfortable reality for some. What’s important is that numerous datasets from around the world consistently show that our climate is warming and over 90% of scientists agree that it is human activity that is driving this change.”

This all begs the question “Why are the Met Office afraid of Ray Sanders?
N.B. Normal service will now resume with more detailed scientific research into Met Office weather station quality and data integrity, principally using Met Office supplied sources but defined by the Met Office (solely) as “Disinformation”. The next review will be of a resurrected CLASS 5 site manual site, with an atrocious observations record, in the shade, by a road, alongside seawater cooling water pipelines situated in the centre of a “wholly natural” environment containing 4 nuclear reactors – welcome to the height of Met Office Mendacity – Hunterston 3

MPs are up in arms over Miliband’s refusal to publish details of a net zero cooperation deal signed with China.
The Telegraph reports:
Ed Miliband has refused to publish details of a net zero cooperation deal signed with China.
The Energy Secretary flew to China in March for high-level meetings with ministers and businesses, as well as tours of local facilities.
While there, he pledged closer cooperation with China on green energy.
But five months later, the Government has still not revealed the text of the memorandum he signed – despite having published similar such deals with countries including Canada, Norway, South Korea, Ireland and Chile.
The lack of disclosure comes as concerns are growing over Chinese involvement in major wind farm schemes, after Ministry of Defence officials warned that they could be used for spying.
However, Chinese media reports claimed that Mr Miliband had agreed to work with Beijing on “power grids, battery storage, offshore wind power, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage, as well as clean, low-carbon and renewable hydrogen”.
On Friday, the Conservatives called on the Energy Secretary to disclose the agreement in full.
Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary, said: “Intelligence services have warned us about Chinese state-sponsored hackers infiltrating Western energy systems, so it is deeply concerning that Ed Miliband is refusing to publish the full text of his deal with China.
“Miliband must come clean about exactly what he signed up to, and Ofgem should be transparent about what knowledge they shared with Chinese officials.
Full story here.
I suspect the real reason is much more mundane – publishing would reveal just how one-sided the deal is.
It will inevitably lead to more imports from China of solar panels, wind turbines and all the other stuff needed for Net Zero, giving a lie to promises of green jobs here.
There will also be swapping of technology, which will benefit China much more than it does us.
Above there be no pledge from China to cut emissions.
China, in other words, have had Ed Miliband dangling on the end of a string.
