There has been no statistically significant warming since 1995." So says Professor Phil Jones, former director of England's University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU).
The CRU at the University of East Anglia, since its founding in 1971, has collected data going back more than 800 years, including temperature readings from around the world. All these records were on paper and magnetic tape at East Anglia's CRU.
Much of those original records are now gone.
East Anglia's CRU became the international repository of temperatures and other weather data and was consulted on a regular basis by climatologists from around the world. The CRU has about 30 research scientists and students and has developed a number of the data sets widely used in climate research, including the global temperature record used to monitor the state of the climate system, as well as statistical software packages and climate models.
There are reports that a decision was made back in the 1980s, when the CRU moved to a new building, to discard some of the original raw data formerly in storage.
Many climatologists believe the records were deliberately destroyed, leaving only "homogenized" and "synopsized" versions of what was contained in the original records — "doctored" data used in graphs to show that climate undergoes cyclical changes from warming periods to cooling and back to warming.

For whatever mindless purpose, like "health Care Reform," it just must happen to satisfy SEIU, ACORN, the Great Uniter and the low-IQ Congress.
Oh yes; also the African-American contingent.
Notice that "African" always comes first?
Prepare for the African-Muslim U.I.S.A.
