Not A Lot Of People Know That
Readers will recall this story from January:
Any competent scientist should have double checked the source of the data, but for some reason Lister did not.
Now PNAS, who ran the original study, have published a new paper which rubbishes Lister’s findings.
Not only does this new study confirm the incompatibility of the temperature data, it also questions Lister’s claims that insect populations are even declining at all.

Not A Lot Of People Know That
Readers will recall this story from January:
Insect collapse: ‘We are destroying our life support systems’According to the Lister paper:
“Over the past 30 years, forest temperatures have risen 2.0 °C, and our study indicates that climate warming is the driving force behind the collapse of the forest’s food web”As I reported at the time, the supposed temperature increase was fake, an artifact of merging two sets of incompatible data. The El Verde Field Station, responsible for the meteorological data, clearly warned against combining these two sets of temperature data, because the first one up to 1992 was artificially higher because of faulty equipment.
Any competent scientist should have double checked the source of the data, but for some reason Lister did not.
