Again, can we obtain the RAW DATA?

I do not need someone to tell me how to think. Usually, if they are not willing to share the RAW DATA, they are trying to hide something.

Having published a few scientific research results over the years, I understand the importance of peer review. I am also painfully aware of how you are required to slant the last summary paragraph to please the people who funded your research.

Most people only read the summary and ignore the technical details. This is where you use phrases like "perhaps", "it is possible", "this may indicate", and other weasel words.

A scientist will never risk his reputation by falsifying the actual raw data. However, because of political reasons, that same scientist may imply the results that the funding organizations desired.

Understand?

no, actually, i do not understand why you'd need to research the raw data on the Vostok ice core

but if you want to go look for it, be my guest

if you don't trust scientists to accurately measure the CO2 levels in the ice core, i can't really help you

even if you get the raw data, if you're that skeptical that you need the raw data, maybe they fudged the measurements, huh?

so no, I'm not going to play "fetch" for you. what you can't find is any respectable scientist who questions the integrity of the Vostok or other ice core samples showing CO2 levels at that point which are at historical highs for the last half million years.
