I for one definitely feel they've been increasingly turned into a tool for
government nonsense Something is rotten in the state of misinformation.

Okay not about weather direct but more about UKMO and its integrity and
agenda.


The page stated the following:

"We have followed the contortions of the UK Met Office to avoid
disclosing data.

Last year John Mitchell, Chief Scientist at the UK Met Office,
obstructed compliance with an FOI request for his IPCC review comments
claiming his IPCC correspondence had been destroyed, then that it was
his "personal" property, resiling when asked whether the Met Office
had paid his salary and expenses for trips to IPCC destinations.

The Hadley Center webpage are in conflict with Phil Jones' land
station data (CRUTEM3) and his campaign to keep CRU station data
secret.

The Met Office webpage for downloading CRUTEM3 data
hadobs.metoffice.com/crutem3/data/download.html presently says:

"Most of the station data was given to us under conditions that don't
allow us to redistribute it...."

This raises several questions:

1) Who is attaching conditions to the station data and by what
authority?

2) If it's Phil Jones, who is also subject to the UK Environmental
Information Regulations, does he have the authority to attach
conditions to the Met Office use of this data?

3) If the Met Office can't show their underlying data, maybe they
should use data that they can.

4) Maybe whoever is funding Phil Jones (and I believe that the US
Department of Energy is one of his funders) should require him to
deliver the data back to them."

London is rife with crime, only yesterday afternoon my daughter called me
from Lordship Lane Dulwich SE London to say there had been an incident
involving several stabbings


I can't see how tanks and full metal jacket policies the Toady B Liar
used would have any affect on it ....but then I can't see what they
would do against terrrists that five not so well armed Metropolitan
Assassins can't.
