From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison last month, daily skeptic The Met Office's practice of inventing temperature averages based on more than 100 non-existent measuring stations was highlighted. Helpfully, the Met Office even provides the coordinates, elevations and uses of these hypothetical locations. With widespread attention and frequent retweets on social media daily skeptic In the article, the Met Office revised its ridiculous statement. Needless to say, this move has not yet been announced publicly as drawing attention to this would open a Pandora's box and risk subjecting all Met Office temperature statements to wider scrutiny. Instead, the Met Office…
