SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.

I bet Al GOre supplied the document shredders. He just wanted to recycle paper. Yeah right!
That is amazing. Good catch.
Al Gore is on the board at Google. The “auto-suggest” feature of Google is no longer functioning for “Climategate” or “Climate gate”.
(It is too late, Al. We don’t need “auto-suggest”.)
So, is Bill O’Reilly still on the GW bandwagon?
Idiot.
They may not have service contracts on it, but there's probably a storage room around somewhere full of old garbage. A weak manager is unwilling to sign off on discarding old equipment, then his replacement doesn't find out about it, and eventually everyone who ever knew about it is gone, and THEN somebody wonders what the hell's IN that locked room, anyway? And where's the key?
ROFL!!! That's the best explanation I've ever heard.
Gee and all these years the Left has called us Christians the "easily led", mindless sheep that can't think for themselves. Now the REAL clueless morons have been exposed! I hope there are some right thinking folks left that are taking notice!
Death Penalty. Period. I will bring my own rifle and my own ammunition. If you can’t be killed for attempting to cripple all of mankind through deception and lies, what should qualify?
I’m pissed...truly and thoroughly pissed and would happily volunteer to offer my services to exterminate these vermin if convicted. I’ll pay my own airfare and hotel.
....much like the Holy Grail, several people claim it’s real and say they have it, but won’t show it to us and when a crowd demands to see it they claim they can’t because it was “misplaced” by a careless maid.
i.e. Liar, liar....
Ping MSM coverage graphic
Please... Someone help me understand how one "throws away" that which never existed?
While I’ve been out, I’m glad that you and several others have pointed out the difficulties with retrieving data from ‘archives’. The problem is huge, and we’ve only touched on parts of it in this thread, but ...
I am NOT ever going to absolve HADCRUt from their resposibility to maintain records of this extremely important original/ hisorical data, AND COMPLETE REASONING how and why they massaged it to create the “value-added records” that they have been presenting to the world. I don’t believe that we will ever be able to recover the data or the reasoning/programming that resulted in the “temperature records” that they have presented, or the reasoning that has resulted in each successive iteration of their “history of temperatures” showing a greater temperature trend due to the way that the data was manipulated.
It’s a shame Michael Crighton died. I wonder if he’d be surprised by any of this or simply say “I told you so !”
Gore never was willing to accept Crighton’s challenge to debate AGW. I assumed it was because Gore is an idiot, knows he’s an idiot, and knows he’d look stupid trying to debate an actual scientist like Crighton. Now, it’s pretty clear he just didn’t want a public forum that would expose how fraudulent the whole AGW data has been from the start.
Who would have thought “science” would jump the shark?
I keep my family’s genealogy records. As such I’ve made all sorts of electronic copies of the old photographs and documents. Under no circumstances would I ever consider throwing away any of the original material. For these guys to claim it was thrown away for lack of space is a lie. I assume that the claim that it was thrown away in the ‘80s is a lie too. Thrown away or hidden when McIntyre asked for it is probably closer to the truth.
The latest CRU b.s. is simply more evidence that the field of “climate science” has been heavily politicized and distorted for various ideological and also institutional reasons:

Cap and Tax is dead folks. Obambi may bring home some stupid signed document, but it will never get past the Senate, much like Kyoto didn't. I also predict that obamacare is going to die in conference. Mark these words.
I hope you are correct. However, the communists know this is end game time and they’ve proven not to be pragmatists.
“...They are completely shameful. If they had a conscience, they’d never show their face in public again. All of ‘em.”
Exactamundo!
But they don’t possess a conscience or anything simlar.
They have big ravenous bellies
and guilty hands
Big hot heads
w/ cold, scheme-filled minds
But you knew that already
So good morning to you
