The Met Office plans to re-examine 160 years of temperature data after admitting that public confidence in the science on man-made global warming has been shattered by leaked e-mails.
The new analysis of the data will take three years, meaning that the Met Office will not be able to state with absolute confidence the extent of the warming trend until the end of 2012.
The Met Office database is one of three main sources of temperature data analysis on which the UN’s main climate change science body relies for its assessment that global warming is a serious danger to the world. This assessment is the basis for next week’s climate change talks in Copenhagen aimed at cutting CO2 emissions.
The Government is attempting to stop the Met Office from carrying out the re-examination, arguing that it would be seized upon by climate change sceptics.
The Met Office works closely with the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU), which is being investigated after e-mails written by its director, Phil Jones, appeared to show an attempt to manipulate temperature data and block alternative scientific views.
The Met Office’s published data showing a warming trend draws heavily on CRU analysis. CRU supplied all the land temperature data to the Met Office, which added this to its own analysis of sea temperature data.
Since the stolen e-mails were published, the chief executive of the Met Office has written to national meteorological offices in 188 countries asking their permission to release the raw data that they collected from their weather stations.
The Met Office is confident that its analysis will eventually be shown to be correct. However, it says it wants to create a new and fully open method of analysing temperature data.
The development will add to fears that influential sceptics in

All the raw data, the analysis of that data and the conclusions need to be publicly available on their Web site for anyone to analyze that wants to.
That is the only way to have confidence in the results. It is as simple as that.
Heh...Might be tougher than they think since the original data was lost (or intentionally destroyed)...
I’m sure their investigation will therefore conclude that the results are correct (assuming that those investigating are looking for grants themselves (probably) - heh)...
Ahh... the scientific approach, at long last...
A crack in the dyke?
3 more years to find ways to disguise the truth, cheat, lie, and plan our destruction.
Are people really that dumb to believe in this hocus pocus?
How are they going to do that when the original data has been destroyed?
Not so much anymore thank goodness! Heck, even NASA seems to be involved in the charade! Understand they are pursuing grants for global warming that can be funneled into space exploration. They are also hiding data and not responding to Freedom of Information action. Draw your own conclusions.
...The MO has written to 188 countries for permission to publish the historic data it says proves that the world is warming up due to man-made emissions.
A spokesman denied reports ministers had tried to block the publication.
The material, dating back 160 years from more than 1,000 weather stations around the world, is expected to be released this week....
An MO spokesman denied it would spend up to three years re-examining the climate change data, and said it had already planned to publish the material long before the "Climategate" controversy broke.
Did Boxer get that message? Umm...no.

And yes, it is a swindle- a fraud and a cheat and a scam-- a deliberately designed construct intended to con you out of things you hold dear-- money, prosperity, freedom... and a few other things, as well.
Moreover, why would it take three years to analyze? Its a lame excuse for three more years of funding crap science.
SOP of the warmies...create new data.
What they destroyed was their copy that they accumulated from multiple national sources around the world. The "original" original data is still in whatever repositories the weather offices of various nations maintain. It's a question of going out and re-collecting and re-collating all of that information. I suggest they hire Steve McIntyre to head the effort.
Not necessarily. The CRU copy of the data may be lost, but the entities that they originally got the raw data from probably still have copies. They may come under considerable pressure to not re-release the data if an unbiased examination makes Global Warming come into doubt.
