Lynda,
I didn't say anything about what you are accrediting to me below, and
it is not what the director said on his BBC america interview. Just to jump
into it anyway though...... The original data was destroyed, the product
of data entry, not copies of the originals is all that remains. Those
numbers now on file received "treatment" and are work product, not original
data. That much he admitted when questioned. It matters not one bit whether
it
was Thursday or thirty years ago either, as it still means today we are
basing these claims on data that is not original and pure. If you don't
believe that scientists would twist things up a bit if it meant a steady
stream
of research dollars, and if you do not believe politicians would work hand in
hand with scientists that would cheat, then you are never going to
understand why these admissions, and the leaked emails are very important.
We are
supposed to be able to believe in what scientists tell us, they are
supposed to use the scientific method do get their answers and tell us when
they
are merely guessing. It matters no one bit who is right or wrong here, but
the scientists who wrote of manipulating data to support their claims, and
worked hard to block publications of their peers that disagreed should be
fired. This is the data genius, internet inventor Gore used to base his
schlocumentary on..... By the way, did you see him on TV two nights ago
claiming
the earth is millions of degrees just a short distance below the
surface???? hilarious.

Drew, I have a problem with your logic. I'm a A to B, B to C kinda
person.
I think Mr. Spock is great. Logic is my ideal.

So, I am having a problem with your leap from "the originals - stored on
paper and magnetic tape - were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to
a
new building" to "data is manipulated" and "fake science."

And, I fail to see any reason for hysteria about something that was done
THIRTY years ago when the person they are screaming about AND whose
e-mails
they stole AND *manipulated* wasn't even employed there then.

I also fail to see what all the hysteria is about when anyone who wants
can
reconstruct the raw data. They didn't actually dump the *original* data.
They dumped the data they originally collected. There is a BIG difference
between the two. While both are "called" original data, both aren't the
actual original, original data. They destroyed *their* original data.

This whole thing reminds me of a conversation I had on another list with
some gal from Chicago who decided she was an expert on earthquakes. She
had
decided, based on her interpretation of science, that we are having more
and
more earthquakes, that areas with earthquakes are in more danger and that
any day now California is going to slide into the ocean. She wasn't
interested in looking at where her data came from and how it was
collected.
She also decided that scientists were manipulating data and weren't being
honest with folks when they said we aren't have more earthquakes.

Yes, there are more recorded minor earthquakes. No, there aren't more
earthquakes. "Recorded" is the operative word. There are now more
stations
recording earthquakes AND the old equipment has been replaced with much
more
sensitive modern seismographs and they are now able to record much smaller
earthquakes. The determining factor on earthquakes is to compare apples
to
apples and oranges to oranges. They compared the number of earthquakes of
the type and size that have been recorded since any records have been kept
and the answer is no, there aren't more earthquakes.
