the "accidental" deletion of temperature data by head of the CRU Phil Jones

This strikes me as being a little like Hillary Clinton going into the bowels of the State Dept and destroying a cabinet of microfiche.

1) It's not something that happens by accident.
2) There really have to be backups. I can't imagine any serious enterprise not having backups. If these are gone, then the data destruction is done thoroughly and deliberately.
3) The Head guy doesn't do this stuff. He delegates. If he DID do it (and Phil Jones seems to have done so) then it is an admission that the data destruction is too sensitive to delegate to anyone and can only be performed by people who will keep their mouth shut.

This is so totally dirty.

One of the emails stated that they’d delete the data rather than comply with an FOI request.

It’s pretty obvious that that’s what happened.

“accidential” deletion like the Nixon tapes were accidentaly deleted?

How do they feel now that they are in the same league as Richard Nixon?
