PRESS RELEASE

Climate researchers have discovered that NASA researchers improperly manipulated data in order to
claim 2005 as "THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD." KUSI-TV meteorologist, Weather Channel founder, and
iconic weatherman John Coleman will present these findings in a one-hour special airing on KUSI-TV
on Jan.14 at 9 p.m. A related report will be made available on the Internet at 6 p.m. EST on
January 14th at www.kusi.com.

In a new report, computer expert E. Michael Smith and Certified Consulting Meteorologist Joseph
D'Aleo
discovered extensive manipulation of the temperature data by the U.S. Government's two primary
climate centers: the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) in Ashville, North Carolina and the NASA
Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) at Columbia University in New York City. Smith and
D'Aleo
accuse these centers of manipulating temperature data to give the appearance of warmer temperatures
than actually occurred by trimming the number and location of weather observation stations. The
report is available online at http://icecap.us/images/uploads/NOAA...limategate.pdf.

The report reveals that there were no actual temperatures left in the computer database when
NASA/NCDC proclaimed 2005 as "THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD." The NCDC deleted actual temperatures at
thousands of locations throughout the world as it changed to a system of global grid points, each
of which is determined by averaging the temperatures of two or more adjacent weather observation
stations. So the NCDC grid map contains only averaged, not real temperatures, giving rise to
significant doubt that the result is a valid representation of Earth temperatures.

The number of actual weather observation points used as a starting point for world average
temperatures was reduced from about 6,000 in the 1970s to about 1,000 now. "That leaves much of the
world unaccounted for," says D'Aleo.

The NCDC data are regularly used by the National Weather Service to declare a given month or year
as setting a record for warmth. Such pronouncements are typically made in support of the global
warming alarmism agenda. Researchers who support the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) also regularly use the NASA/NCDC data, including researchers associated with the Climate
Research Unit at the University of East Anglia that is now at the center of the "Climategate"
controversy.

This problem is only the tip of the iceberg with NCDC data. "For one thing, it is clear that
comparing data from previous years, when the final figure was produced by averaging a large number
of temperatures, with those of later years, produced from a small temperature base and the grid
method, is like comparing apples and oranges," says Smith. "When the differences between the
warmest year in history and the tenth warmest year is less than three quarters of a degree, it
becomes silly to rely on such comparisons," added D'Aleo who asserts that the data manipulation is
"scientific travesty" that was committed by activist scientists to advance the global warming
agenda.

Smith and D'Aleo are both interviewed as part of a report on this study on the television special,
"Global Warming: The Other Side" seen at 9 PM on January 14th on KUSI-TV, channel 9/51, San Diego,
California. That program can now be viewed via computer at the website http://www.kusi.com/. The
detailed report is available at http://icecap.us/images/uploads/NOAA...limategate.pdf

Wow! It's down to a weatherman at a San Diego TV station now!

And a Press Release full of allegations! That holds weight in the
arena of science.

When is he going to produce the evidence?

Smacks of desperation.

I guess it beats Pat Robertson ranting about Haitian Voodoo, God's
revenge and earthquakes!

Or those 32,000 fake climatologists who signed the Oregon Petition.

I don't believe it, I simply don't believe it, will
the real whistle-blowers please come forward and
document this stuff, justice departments surely
will offer immunity.
