TEMPERATURE READINGS PLUNGE AFTER BUREAU OF METEOROLOGY ORDERS END TO ‘TAMPERING’. “Smart cards” filter out coldest temperatures. It has been reported online that electronic smart cards were allegedly fitted to the BoM’s automatic weather stations, which put a limit on how low temperatures could be recorded in official weather data. Dr Marohasy said it was not the recording devices that were at fault. “To be clear, the problem is not with the equipment; all that needs to be done is for the smart-card readers to be removed,” Dr Marohasy said.Once again Trump was right about climate change and this supports his decision to get out of the Paris climate raping of America.
“So that after the automatic weather stations measure the correct temperature, this temperature can be brought forward firstly into the daily weather observation sheet and subsequently into the CDO (climate data online) dataset.”
Mr Frydenberg rejected any suggestion that he had prior knowledge of smart cards or the cause of problems which made the stations not fit for purpose. He said he only learned of the issue with the weather station readings when it was raised by a calibration report leaked to the media. He declined to speculate why the Smart Cards were installed to filter out coldest temperature readings.
