On 23 March I started comparing CRUT4 with CRUT3 over Australia – these grid box anomaly maps shows large differences in 2007.
The newly released CRUT4 shows many warmer tweaks over the Australian region
More later.

We all remember the story that ran viral last June about death threats in emails to Australian National University staff. It even ran overseas – here is The Guardian masthead for 6 June last year.

Now it has taken near a year but Sydney blogger Simon Turnill has had a huge FOI win in discovering that the emails contained no such threats. Read his story.
Why are we sceptics not surprised at this eventual outcome – so basic facts got hopelessly exaggerated by IPCC supportive scientists at ANU – so!! – and what does it say about about the rigor of higher level management processes at ANU. What a shocker.
Andrew Bolt has picked up on the story too – saying the smear was as bogus as their theory. Right on target.
I see nothing today in the Fairfax owned Canberra Times, home of ANU – not keen to rock any boats eh. Note to read the story at The Australian – Google – Climate scientists’ claims of email death threats go up in smoke – then read full version.

Many historic maps from the Danish Meteorological Institute show that Arctic sea ice extent has varied more over the 20th Century than the IPCC would like us to believe. Read what author Frank Lansner has to say.
And while you are at the Anthony Watts site – please have a laugh at the classic photo of a Govt advertisement warning of drought.
