Faked Climate Graph Used in German Schools

By Richard Littlemore

It’s frightening how easy it is to present a computer-assisted lie,ย  especially if you have no conscience about faking things like climate reconstruction graphs. It’s also frightening that such a piece of fakery can find its way into the school system of a G8ย country.

This graph was created by a German high school teacher named E.G. Beck. It’s based on information that is more out of date than a Tim Patterson solar forcing graph, and is manipulated to specifically misrepresent both the scale and the recent climateย curve.

RealClimate has the wholeย story.
