CRU UPDATE
UEA- Climatic Reasearch Unit ^ | 11/23/2009

Posted on 11/23/2009 2:06:13 PM PST by Duke C.

Climatic Research Unit update - 17.45 November 23 It is a matter of concern that data, including personal information about individuals, appears to have been illegally taken from the university and elements published selectively on a number of websites.

The volume of material published and its piecemeal nature makes it impossible to confirm what proportion is genuine. We took immediate action to remove the server in question from operation and have involved the police in what we consider to be a criminal investigation.

Funny....

Nowhere is the word "hacker" or "break-in" mentioned.

Is Hadly/CRU tacitly admitting that it was an INSIDE JOB by an as of yet unnamed Whisleblower?

More stuff that makes you go "Hmmm..."

I think that the CRU and the university that sponsors them should be notified that they will be sued under international law for aiding and abetting the perpetration of a massive fraud on the rest of the world which resulted in untold billions of useless spending and emotional and traumatic suffering whilst having to listen to asswipes like ALGORE rant about 'de Planet! de Planet!'....

Need to go on the offensive and hit these asswipes while they are down....

I agree with the CRU.

This IS criminal. As in what these liars have done is criminal. And that THEY should be investigated.

I just went to UEAs website and told them they should be ashamed of themselves for being unscholarly.

“illegally taken “

What’s illegal is destroying information to avoid a FOI request. Phil Jones is going to jail. Question is, who will he take with him? Al Gore?

Excerpt/.....

CRU is one of a number of independent centres working in this important area and reaching similar conclusions. It will continue to engage fully in reasoned debate on its findings with individuals and groups that are willing to have their research and theories subjected to scrutiny by the international scientific community. The selective publication of some stolen emails and other papers taken out of context is mischievous and cannot be considered a genuine attempt to engage with this issue in a responsible way.

The raw climate data which has been requested belongs to meteorological services around the globe and restrictions are in place which means that we are not in a position to release them. We are asking each service for their consent for their data to be published in future.

In addition to supporting the police in their enquiries, we will ourselves be conducting a review, with external support, into the circumstances surrounding the theft and publication of this information and any issues emerging from it.

Really? And was it a ‘matter of concern’ that you CRU folks were scamming billions of people, causing them financial harships, and strongarming money away from bussinesses, all based on BOGUS INFORMATION?

Criminal charges may be coming your way CRU- so yeah- you ‘call in the police’, and you continue denying all you like- We now have the evidence to lock you up and throw away the key!

The full statement:

Climatic Research Unit update - 17.45 November 23

It is a matter of concern that data, including personal information about individuals, appears to have been illegally taken from the university and elements published selectively on a number of websites.

The volume of material published and its piecemeal nature makes it impossible to confirm what proportion is genuine. We took immediate action to remove the server in question from operation and have involved the police in what we consider to be a criminal investigation.

The material published relates to the work of our globally-respected Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and other scientists around the world. CRU's published research is, and has always been, fully peer-reviewed by the relevant journals, and is one strand of research underpinning the strong consensus that human activity is affecting the world's climate in ways that are potentially dangerous.

CRU is one of a number of independent centres working in this important area and reaching similar conclusions. It will continue to engage fully in reasoned debate on its findings with individuals and groups that are willing to have their research and theories subjected to scrutiny by the international scientific community. The selective publication of some stolen emails and other papers taken out of context is mischievous and cannot be considered a genuine attempt to engage with this issue in a responsible way.

The raw climate data which has been requested belongs to meteorological services around the globe and restrictions are in place which means that we are not in a position to release them. We are asking each service for their consent for their data to be published in future.

In addition to supporting the police in their enquiries, we will ourselves be conducting a review, with external support, into the circumstances surrounding the theft and publication of this information and any issues emerging from it.

Now my responses:

[CRU] will continue to engage fully in reasoned debate on its findings with individuals and groups that are willing to have their research and theories subjected to scrutiny by the international scientific community.

And yet:

The raw climate data which has been requested belongs to meteorological services around the globe and restrictions are in place which means that we are not in a position to release them.

In other words, we will debate only if the other party discloses all of their data and methodology, but we won't release any of ours.

Should go bacvk and tell them that they need to be ashamed of themselves for scamming everyone, and that they NEED to apologize to the world for scamming them and ripping htem off, and causing unwarrented emotional distress based on BOGUS INFORMATION which we know KNOW resulted in major fraud on their part, and that criminal charges may very well soon be levelled agaisnt them

Lets try them in Iran under Sharia Law!

I don’t know what the penalty is, but it will be severe.

The Arabs have to understand this is an attack on their wealth since they produce most of the world’s oil. It would be fun to watch.

I bet Phil is responsible for this spin.

They can’t hold back but attack the people that want to review their work.

Silly me to think that I should be entitled to a review of their work since it is expected to destroy 34% of my income as the result of implementing their theories.

This is the first i have seen this anywhere...:

The raw climate data which has been requested belongs to meteorological services around the globe and restrictions are in place which means that we are not in a position to release them.

That has got to be a really DESPERATE EXCUSE,...
