Reported By www.telegraph.co.uk on 2015-10-11 — “We might think a proposal to an international conference of top judges – assembled in the highest courtroom in Britain – for a ruling to ‘scotch’ claims that challenge the ‘consensus’ on manmade global warming was odd enough to be worthy of front-page coverage…. The fact that it could be seriously proposed in the highest courtroom in the land that the law should now be used to help suppress any further debate on what has become one of the most contentious issues in the history of science (greeted with applause from the distinguished legal audience) speaks volumes about the curious psychological state to which the great global warming scare has reduced so many of the prominent figures who today exercise power and influence over the life of our Western societies….”

A new low in science: Criminalizing climate change skeptics
Reported By Fox News on 2015-09-28
“Dismayed by what they see as a lack of progress on the implementation of climate policies that they support … 20 scientists sent a letter to the White House calling for their political opponents to be investigated by the government…. The demand by Senator Whitehouse and the 20 climate scientists for legal persecution of people whose research on science and policy they disagree with represents a new low in the politicization of science. The role of these 20 scientists is particularly troubling. The consequence of this persecution … is to make pariahs of scientists who are doing exactly what we expect of researchers: to critically evaluate evidence and publish that work in the scientific literature…. What these 20 scientists have done with their letter is the worst kind of irresponsible advocacy. Attempts by powerful people to silence other scientists, especially in this brutal fashion, is a recipe for stifling scientific progress and for making poor policies….”
Approximately 66% of global surface temperature data consists of estimated values
Reported By wattsupwiththat.com on 2015-09-24
“Overall, from 1880 to the present, approximately 66% of the temperature data in the adjusted GHCN temperature data consists of estimated values produced by adjustment models, while 34% of the data are raw values retained from direct measurements…. The estimates produced by NOAA for the GHNC data introduce a warming trend of approximately a quarter degree C per century…. Approximately 7% of the raw data is discarded. If this data were included as-is in the final record it would likely introduce a warming component from 1880 to 1950, followed by a cooling component from 1951 to the present….”
