Russians accuse Hadley Centre of falsifying Russian temperatures: "The mystery of the accusations of Russian involvement in the Climategate scandal suddenly deepened yesterday, when a key Russian ministry accused the UK Met Office Hadley Centre, closely partnered with the East Anglia Climatic Research Unit (CRU), of misreporting Russian weather-station data in order to allege warming trends that, the Russians now say, their data do not support.
According to an article in Kommersant, reproduced here at RIA Novosti (and quoted here at The Air Vent), the Institute for Economic Analysis (IEA), in Moscow, issued a report Tuesday alleging that the Hadley Centre, when compiling its contribution to the Hadley-CRU Temperature (HadCRUT) surveys, used data from a select 25% of Russian weather stations.
The problem: the remaining stations, covering 40% of Russian territory, have shown no substantial warming in recent decades. Furthermore, the stations selected mostly include those with incomplete datasets.
IEA also specifically alleged that the stations selected by the Hadley Centre were in large population centers and thus subject to urban heat island (UHI) effects."
