Experts claim climate change activists altered findings and used “arbitrary adjustments” to exaggerate sea level rise

Natural News: Remember the days when one could read a newspaper article or scientific journal with complete conviction that the contents were accurate? Sadly, we have reached a point where we have fewer and fewer reliable touchstones, and virtually all the information we are fed needs to be scrutinized carefully before it can be accepted.

The latest example of this, perhaps unsurprisingly, comes from the sphere of “climate change” science, with a new study claiming that activists have been manipulating data to make it seem that sea levels are rising at an alarming rate in the Indian Ocean.

Drs. Albert Parker and Clifford Ollier, researchers from the University of Western Australia, recently published a study in the journal Earth Systems and Environment, in which they questioned claims by the Permanent Service of Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) that there has been a dramatic and alarming rise in the sea level of the Indian Ocean. The PSMSL based their claims on raw data collected from sites in Yemen, Pakistan and India.

The Australian researchers asserted in their study that the PSMSL figures were skewed because only higher sea level readings were included, while readings that reflected lower sea levels were ignored...read more>>>....
