Queensland Senate hopeful Gerard Rennick has accused the Bureau of Meteorology of rewriting and interfering with temperature data in order to "perpetuate global warming hysteria".
Rennick’s comments are in response to an article published in The Spectator magazine which claimed the federal agency has been concocting "a consistent global warming trend".
A spokesperson from the Bureau of Meteorology says they have not ‘rewritten’ climate data, and the integrity of this data is at the core of the trust that the Australian community has in the organisation.
