2 Convicted in Plot to Tamper with NOAA Climate-Gauges Devices – Was This Fraudulent Data Used?
Two southeastern Colorado farmers have demonstrated what shenanigans might unfold when money and climate mix — as they often do.
According to a Feb. 29 news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Colorado, Patrick Esch and Ed Dean Jagers of Springfield, Colorado, pleaded guilty to criminal charges of tampering with rain gauges, some of which belonged to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
In other words, due to the tampering on the NOAA devices, those federally owned gauges showed inaccurate rainfall totals. That, of course, would make actual climate conditions in the area impossible to measure.
It wasn’t clear if the fraudulent data was used for “climate change” record-keeping, but the case definitely raises the question.
