A Nationals MP has called for an inquiry into the weather bureau accusing it of fudging figures on the impact of climate change.

George Christensen says the Bureau Of Meteorology has wiped off early temperature records to justify its claims the weather is getting hotter.

He pointed to records of the drought 118 years ago where temperatures were hitting 50C in Camden, NSW, 44C in Perth and 43C in Geelong, Victoria.

The Queensland MP questioned the bureau's claims that 2013 was the hottest year on record.

"How could it be getting hotter ... if it was really hotter 118 years ago," he told parliament on Wednesday.

"It's relatively simple: the early years are simply wiped from the official record."

Mr Christensen said the bureau has been involved in a process of "homogenisation" — changing raw data so the past appears cooler than the present.

He will be seeking an inquiry into the bureau's conduct and the homogenisation process this week.

"We have a scientific process being tainted at the source," he said.
