From an emailed PRESS RELEASE on March 5, 2010

Climate scientist delivers false statement in parliament enquiry

It has come to our attention, that last Monday (March 1), Dr. Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (CRU), in a hearing with the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee made a statement in regards to the alleged non-availability for disclosure of Swedish climate data.

Dr. Jones asserted that the weather services of several countries, including Sweden, Canada and Poland, had refused to allow their data to be released, to explain his reluctance to comply with Freedom of Information requests.

This statement is false and misleading in regards to the Swedish data.

All Swedish climate data are available in the public domain. As is demonstrated in the attached correspondence between SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute), the UK Met Office and Dr. Jones (the last correspondence dated yesterday March 4), this has been clearly explained to Dr. Jones. What is also clear is that SMHI is reluctant to be connected to data that has undergone “processing” by the East Anglia research unit.

Thanks to Dr. Bogus Pachysandra;

For pointing this out.....on another thread.:

THE DISCLOSURE OF CLIMATE DATA FROM THE CLIMATIC RESEARCH UNIT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Why! Thanks for the “hat tip!”
As I mentioned, the comments there are quite interesting!

Nowhere in Phil Jones’s letter does he request that raw data from sweden be released, He stresses that any data that he would release would be adjusted in some way. That is the data for which approval was refused.It is not possible to claim that the Swedes refused when they were never asked in the first place.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

We don’t seem to have either the cover or the article up...working on that.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

The Swedes apparently did not want to give their “official sanction” to Jones’ adjusted data. Good for them!

Thanks Ernest. This drags poor Harrison Ford through the mud.

Phil Jones and some of his cronies are going to end up behind bars eventually. He has lied his guts out thus far. He is no damn innocent victim of being lead by incompetent scientist, statisticians, marketing specialist etc.. He has been part of the crime for many years. Jail time should be his just reward.
