Data destroyed ---supporting GW

Today we learn that all supporting data for world-wide global warming (or climate change) has been destroyed by the guardians of that data. University of East Anglia (UEA) Climate Research Unit (CRU) claims to only keep “value added data”, data that they have modified. All historic “raw” data from temperature measurement stations around the world has been destroyed! This makes it impossible for anyone to verify whether global warming is real or not (so much for peer review). In light of ClimateGate emails that have surfaced admitting to hiding, destroying, and modifying data it is no longer possible to believe anything coming out of that office or based off of their “value added” data. Most of the conclusions from the IPCC have their roots in this CRU data. The Mann hockey stick (which is also involved in ClimateGate – see below) bases the hockey stick curve upward on CRU data. Anyone still believing that our climate scientists are impartial and that we have any accurate climate data must be a fool. Though there are undoubtedly honest climate scientists (and we really feel sorry for them right now) most of their work is based off invalidated data. Not only has the public been made fools of but so have the honest scientists. Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based. The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space In a statement on its website, the CRU said: “We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.” ----- Times Online, Jonathan Leake, Environment Editor Consider the following Press Release from the University of East Anglia (UEA) Climate Research Unit (CRU): ”Conclusive proof that polar warming is being caused by humans” Thu, 30 Oct 2008 New research by the University of East Anglia has demonstrated for the first time that human activity is responsible for significant warming in both polar regions. The findings by a team of scientists led by UEA’s Climatic Research Unit will be published online by the Nature Geoscience this week. Now consider the following quotes. From Michael E. Mann (of Hockey Stick fame) about withholding data: Dear Phil and Gabi, I’ve attached a cleaned-up and commented version of the matlab code that I wrote for doing the Mann and Jones (2003) composites. I did this knowing that Phil and I are likely to have to respond to more crap criticisms from the idiots in the near future, so best to clean up the code and provide to some of my close colleagues in case they want to test it, etc. Please feel free to use this code for your own internal purposes, but don’t pass it along where it may get into the hands of the wrong people. Nick McKay about modifying the data (“author” here is Steve McIntyre of ClimateAudit fame): the temperature proxy we looked at is x-ray density, which the author interprets to be inversely related to temperature. We had higher values as warmer in the reconstruction, so it looks to me like we got it wrong, unless we decided to reinterpret the record which I don’t remember Then there is CRU's Phil Jones quote about hiding the declining temperatures: I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. From Michael Mann (truth doesn't matter): As we all know, this isn't about truth at all, its about plausibly deniable accusations. From Phil Jones telling other scientists to delete data: The skeptics seem to be building up a head of steam here! ... The IPCC comes in for a lot of stick. Leave it to you to delete as appropriate! Cheers Phil PS I’m getting hassled by a couple of people to release the CRU station temperature data. Don’t any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Freedom of Information Act ! Phil Jones again trying to hide from FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) laws: If FOIA does ever get used by anyone, there is also IPR to consider as well. Data is covered by all the agreements we sign with people, so I will be hiding behind them. Phil Jones (CRU) to Michael Mann (of Hockey Stick fame): "Mike, Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He’s not in at the moment – minor family crisis. Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don’t have his new email address. We will be getting Caspar to do likewise." And now we're told that the original raw data is gone forever and that we're suppose to trust their "value added" data. How convenient. Does anyone know the temperature outside? Never mind, I'll just bring a sweater.
