Comment The Met Office invents temperature data (Score -1) 57

"The world faces an 80% probability of breaking another annual temperature record within the next five years, according to a forecast released Wednesday by the World Meteorological Organization and the UK Meteorological Office".

The Met Office has zero credibility, as it has been discovered that it posts invented temperature readings at 103 non-existent weather stations. If you don't like the sound of that, then move on. If you want to know the facts, read at least one of the following articles.

I remember that the psychologist and statistician Kahneman had a story about how the Israeli air force decided to design a new "one size fits all" seat for its jet fighters. After many complaints and some injuries, a survey was done and it was discovered that this seat - painstakingly designed to fit the average pilot - did not in fact fit perfectly any one pilot in the whole air force. It was a perfect fit for the average pilot, but not for any real pilot.

I couldn't locate a reference, as the Web is chock full of the Kahneman and Tversky lesson about regression to the mean.
