The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever

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.



Two weeks ago, under the headline “How we are being tricked by flawed data on global warming”, I wrote about Paul Homewood, who, on his Notalotofpeopleknowthat blog, had checked the published temperature graphs for three weather stations in Paraguay against the temperatures that had originally been recorded. In each instance, the actual trend of 60 years of data had been dramatically reversed, so that a cooling trend was changed to one that showed a marked warming...

[Off Topic] 10 Compromisos para una Pesca Responsable y Sostenible

Excelente iniciativa, y fuerza de opinión, para promover el buen manejo y explotación de recursos marinos en Perú

Sin embargo, agrego lo siguiente (desde otra perspectiva):

Birding at coastal areas from Peru

Amazing gathering of seabirds at Central Peru (Callao)

By these days, this image is repeated along Peruvian coastal border. Here you can see this interesting video.

Birds are everywhere

A (mini) macroalgal bloom at Central Peru (La Punta, Callao)

This appear be a recurrent state in this small ecosystem called 'La Arenilla'.

     Although these macroalgae (Ulva spp.) extensions (< 2 km) do not reach the large dimensions of other cases (Liu et al., 2013. Click here to read the paper), they occupy a relatively large area of this site, providing protection for larval and juvenile fish species.
