The Telegraph reports "The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever"
From the article:
"When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically “adjusted” to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified."
It seems that the norm in science may well be to cherry pick the results, but the story points to evidence that some climate data may have been falsified to fit the theory.
Sure, it's clickbait, but we've recently discussed cases where science and scientific consensus has gotten it so very wrong. Can we trust the science if we can't trust the data?

The article doesn't even source anything in it except a blogger. Frankly I don't trust any bloggers on pretty much any mater of import.
Shoot even in the articles own comments The Telegraph is being ripped for this. This is another ridiculous article that sounds more like click bait then anything.
Comon Soylent lets be better then this. If we are going to do the climate change argument, at least bring on some articles with sources, facts, something tangible besides a blogger.
