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.
It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years....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.”

Well...they screwed the pooch now......I’d say it’s ALL over now....good bye ALGORE!!!
“We made everything up. Everything.”
They already admitted in their emails that they would rather delete the data before handing it over to anyone else. Well, there you go.
They don't have data showing global warming. There must not be any.
Cap'n Trade sez: "Arrgh! It be a mighty sad thing when ye jettisons yer weapons before ye're even boarded. What kind o' scurvy, pants-wetting economy pirates are ye, anyway?"
Sounds like “My dog ate my homework.”
Don’t laugh, that value added data was almost worth trillions to them.
Considering that Algore was in it for the “bucks”, he is not going to be bothered by all this. He will spend his dotage in opulent contentment.
Value added? like buying ham by the pound pumped full of water?
So which global warming stocks should we be shorting?
Is that like...a padded bra?
How convenient.......................
I don’t think any of us are surprised.
The original data probably wasn't worth anything to them. Now, they can't claim anything about their data one way or the other.
If this is correct, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2395852/posts then carbon dioxide can't cause greenhouse warming, because it would violate the laws of physics.
“He will spend his dotage in opulent contentment.”
It would be nice if instead of spending for such opulent contentment, it was spent in the legal community fighting for his freedom until broke, and then to the Graybar Hotel.
From comments on this article:
“Truth Orator wrote:
All they have to do to re-create the original data is reverse the corrections and the corrections of corrections that they used on it. As long as they are not allowed to corrupt that process the original data should result. Since that data is so important for figuring out climate change is happening and independent body should be appointed to oversee the process. One that includes climate scientists of all persuations and scientists from other fields also.”
From what I found 2 days ago re: HARRY_READ_ME_ they can’t back out because they don’t know what adjustments were made. They bought off-the-shelf software to do the statistics and they didn’t know how it was filling in missing data points. They don’t have records of what corrections were made. They don’t have records disclosing whether or not the original input was verified.
They can’t reconstruct the original data because the original data was on paper and input (from one site) into a spreadsheet. (Excel? We spent billions of dollars for KRAP on a spreadshet? & we’re going to improverish our kids based on such incompetent information?)
Bingo.
Looks like a fraud, acts like a fraud, talks like a fraud, it MUST BE a TOTAL FRAUD. “Didn’t keep the raw data.” What a crock! These people are criminals!
