Why is Bureau of Met manipulating data re Cyclone Marcia ?

They said it was a Cat 5 cyclone, yet all the wind speeds, sustained and gusts show that it was only a Cat 3.

In addition, the pressure level never got down to a Cat 5.

And regardless of the better building codes compared to Darwin/Tracy in 1974, the damage was no where near a Cat 5.

For a start, the trees still had leaves on them. In all the Cat 5 cyclones in the last 30 years, no trees had leaves

left on them.

In addition, "Data for Middle Percy Island has disappeared from the BOM site, but Jennifer Marohasy kept a copy.

(I’m sure the BOM will be grateful!)..."

Have a read of this.

IN ADDITION

It seems some of the media outlets wewre dissapointed that the damage wasn't worse. That was the impression I got.

Almost like Disaster porn.

Any comments ?

I have, and removing data from 60+ years ago has no valid reason
except to achieve what they wanted.

A temp increase over the century.

but for what reason?? who would gain anything by doing that

[debra9275]

vic you said to me awhile ago that George Soros has bribed all the scientists to falsify reports. .. buy why would he??

[poddster]

The same reason that the IPCC do it Deb 🙂

[debra9275]

that's not really an answer. but what's the point of manipulating data. who benefits anything from it?

[myoclon1cjerk]

Haha just read this discussion for the first time.It relates to my post in 'right or left'.

[debra9275]

I noticed that lol

I just don't get why they think it's to anyone's advantage to manipulate data

Those pushing an Agenda. Climate change, global warming.

And to get funding !

The same as a nature program I watched on the weekend, about Africa and one part discussed a particular species

of antelope.

Out came the "threatened, population under pressure, poaching, hunting, extinct in XX years"......... etc.

Which is rubbish as it is in the group of least concern over it's population as friends hunt them.

But they have to trot out the mantra as usual.

[debra9275]

funding for what??

I don't agree with  hunting  btw

[vicr3000]

Research.

I know, you said before.

You buy your meat on a polystyrene tray at the supermarket.

Each to their own.
