Global Warming: Is the “hacked e-mail” story hiding the real story: the raw climate data has been destroyed?
With the news filled with tales of illegally obtained e-mails, I am afraid that there is an even bigger cover-up might be under way.
Let us look at the Telegraph’s report on the CRU releasing their data …
As reported in London’s Telegraph …
“Climategate: University of East Anglia U-turn in climate change row”
“Leading British scientists at the University of East Anglia, who were accused of manipulating climate change data - dubbed Climategate - have agreed to publish their figures in full.”
“The U-turn by the university follows a week of controversy after the emergence of hundreds of leaked emails, ‘stolen’ by hackers and published online, triggered claims that the academics had massaged statistics.”
“In a statement welcomed by climate change sceptics, the university said it would make all the data accessible as soon as possible, once its Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had negotiated its release from a range of non-publication agreements.”
Now let’s consider the e-mail revelation by Dr. Phil Jones who heads the CRU …
| Tom, I'll look at what you've said over the weekend re CCSP. As for FOIA Sarah isn't technically employed by UEA and she will likely be paid by Manchester Metropolitan University. I wouldn't worry about the code. If FOIA does ever get used by anyone, there is also IPR to consider as well. Data is covered by all the agreements we sign with people, so I will be hiding behind them. I'll be passing any requests onto the person at UEA who has been given a post to deal with them. Cheers |
So it appears that Phil Jones is well aware of how to manipulate the legal system when it comes to IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) and seems well-prepared to do so.
But what are they really hiding and exactly which data will they make available?
As reported by London’s TimesOnline …
Climate change data dumped
“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.”
“The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.”
Impossible to reproduce the global warming calculations?
Without this data, it appears that it would be next to impossible to compute the differences between the “raw” data and the “manipulated data” which feeds all of the climate models used to support global warming theories (and they are nothing more than theories) and provide a basis for draconian and radical political agendas.
So what data will they be releasing? And will the release happen after Copenhagen where corrupt and complicit politicians hope to convince others that global warming is real, catastrophic and that we must allow our politicians to engage in socialist tactics to remedy the situation.
As if man could regulate the awesome forces of nature by demanding higher taxes, reduced freedom and fealty to a particular political system!
“Hacked” e-mail story diluting the media coverage of the real story …
It appears that this entire charade of allegedly “hacked” e-mails may be nothing more than just another cover-up to dilute the public’s attention away from the fact that the scientists involved in pushing a global warming agenda are not in consensus (as if that is how science is really done) and that there are significant problems with the climate models and the data used to reach climate conclusions.
More on this tomorrow …
