Feds Demanded to Have Global Warming Data Manipulated

Climate skeptics have always suspected the fact that the Government involvement in science has distorted data in order to reflect the government’s agenda.

"Many have suspected that U.S. political intervention in climate science has corrupted the outcome," notes Ron Arnold in an essay posted on CFact.org. "The new emergence of an old 1995 document from the U.S. State Department to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirms those suspicions, or at least gives the allegation credence enough to ask questions."

Although a FOIA request for the 1995 document came up empty ("No such correspondence in our files"), the pdf is available online. The 30-page document, entitled "U.S. Government Specific Comments on the Draft IPCC WG I Summary for Policymakers," provides detailed instructions on "how to change the IPCC’s science document and the summary for policymakers."

"The document itself consists of a three-page cover letter to Sir John Houghton, head of IPCC Working Group I (Science), from Day Mount, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Acting, Environment and Development, United States Department of State, along with the thirty-page instruction set with line-by-line 'suggestions', written by scientist Robert Watson and others," writes Arnold.

He also notes, "Among the more revealing tidbits is a remark scolding a scientist for being honest about the weakness of aerosol forcing data: 'We clearly cannot use aerosol forcing as the trigger of our smoking gun, and then make a generalized appeal to uncertainty to exclude these effects from the forward-looking modeling analysis'. One instruction was to change a correct statement about warming rates into a flat lie: 'Change "continue to rise" to "rise by even greater amounts" to provide a sense of magnitude of the extended change'".

This verbal manipulation as far back as 1995 shows how government involvement in climate science is actually distorting the outcome in order to reflect an agenda...
