If Twitter was around at the time George Orwell was writing the
dystopian fiction Nineteen Eighty - Four, I wonder whether he might have borrowed some text from Schmidt's tweets, particularly when words like, «procedures correct» refer to mathematical algorithms reaching out to «nearby» locations that are across the Coral Sea and beyond the Great Dividing Range to change what was a mild cooling -
trend, into dramatic warming, for an otherwise perfectly politically - incorrect temperature
series.
