...the University of East Anglia has been forced to admit they threw away the raw temperature data they used to make their predictions of anthropogenic global warming. They claim they only kept the 'adjusted' data.

If the data was digital, ie: in spreadsheet or csv files, then they should have notes and copies of e-mails from whence the source data came.

Release all of the e-mail, source data files and climate modelling routines held locked up at the CRU.

If there was no finaggling of the data, ie: the results are what they are, then there should be no repercussions.

If, on the other hand, there is no "data-dump" then there can be no reproducable results to confirm theirs.

The choice is simple. How's that for a catch 22?

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. - Galileo Galilei, 1564-1642

“It makes all their data completely worthless. “

You’ve got that right.

They can’t back-calculate. The whole pile of crap that is AGW has turned out to be un-reproducible, forwards or backwards. Nobody can explain what equations were used in the first place.

The media is buying the bs that this is ‘real complicated’....it shouldn’t be that complex at all. They have made it complex to fit their goals; and, the whole un-reproducible charade is the antithesis of the scientific method.

Yet Copenhagen goes on. I want more than on senator to make noise about this.

Lets see, the data was disposed of when they moved into a new building? The company I work for pays a RECORDS STORAGE SERVICE to keep all our old stuff in a warehouse.

The dog at their homework?

How about criminal acts!

Your dog ate it?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

This is a load of crap. Convert the adjusted data back to its raw form using the inverse of the equations that adjusted it in the first place.

How soon before all related stories disappear off of Google?

The Earth receives 99.999999999999% of its heat from our Sun! The rest comes from the stars in the heavens but they have very little impact!

I'm happy to report that NASA has reported that Mars' atmospheric warming results from solar not human activity. So Marvin is off the hook.

I propose a special Gore tax at 100% of his wealth derived from his Inconclusive Truths. We then use these funds to launch him to Mars where he can dicuss this issue with Marvin!

Western Civilization depends on it.

How great is it that the climatogandists have revealed themselves as frauds rather than engaging in responsible science? And what now for the future of the Nobel Peace Prize which has bee demonstrated, once again, to be sympathetic to popular politics rather than to reality?

NO DATA! - NO WARMING!

BTTT!

In the 60's one of the demonstrators' slogans was something like

NO JUSTICE! - NO PEACE!

So we could now adapt this as

NO DATA! - NO WARMING!

Two questions I have are:

1. If they were collecting data from around the world and you assume that they didn't own the collectors, did'nt they destroy other peoples property?

2. Can't the data be reproduced in some fashion for such an important issue?

We’ve GOT to keep this story alive.Bump!!!

There is now no discernible difference between the tactics of the CRU and the tactics of ACORN.

Very well said.

We’ve GOT to keep this story alive.

Our LIVES depend on it.

Well there you have it.

There is now no discernible difference between the tactics of the CRU and the tactics of ACORN.

Isn't this just too convenient?

Well then, I guess we will just have to rely on what has been called in other articles the "value-adjusted" processed data for our multi-trillion dollar decision to save the planet. /s

Isn't this just too convenient?

It makes all their data completely worthless.

Isn't this just too convenient?
