“These emails, obtained by Christopher Horner, also show that the NASA GISS dataset was not independent of CRU data. “
Ping of definite interest. So yes, there has been collusion on temperature data supposedly “separately maintained.”
These two repositories were HEAVILY relied upon among global warming scientists and both are not grossly suspect.
Maybe to you.

"Collusion" implies some kind of subterfuge. All of this is ascertainable through published papers.
And I LOVE how important stuff in a quote gets dropped. Like this:
"In 2005 this turned out to be important, as the Arctic had a large positive temperature anomaly. We thus found 2005 to be the warmest year in the record, while the British did not and initially NOAA also did not. Independent satellite IR measurements showed that our extrapolations of anomalies into the Arctic were conservative."
THIS JUST IN: ... Scientists analyze data differently! ... Scientists sometimes reach different conclusions from analyses of same data ... Scientists differ on best way to correct and average data ... Scientists occasionally work together to improve data analyses ...
Still working on that analysis of stratospheric cooling I suggested? That would indicate an actual interest in the issue rather than just interested in trying to prod me.
More later. Because I sometimes enjoy being prodded (blush).
