Climategate: East Anglia agrees to release all data
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.
"These guys called climate scientists have not done any more
physics or chemistry than I did. A lifetime in engineering gives you a very
good antenna. It also cures people of any self belief they cannot be wrong.
You clear up a lot of messes during a lifetime in engineering. I could be
wrong on global warming – I know that – but the guys on the other side don't
believe they can ever be wrong."
When would scientists expecting the world to take them seriously throw
out the raw data on which their conclusions are based? Probably at the
same time that they e-mail each other to launch professional vendettas
against skeptics and conspire to hide contradictory data. The
University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit — already in a deep
scandal over the e-mails released by either a hacker or a whistleblower
that shows highly unscientific behavior behind the scenes — now admits they threw out the raw data on which much of their theories on anthropogenic global warming are based (via Fausta)
So now the only data that other scientists can check are those that have been, er, adjusted
by UEA-CRU. Were those “adjustments” proper? Did they have a
scientific basis for making those adjustments? Were there any gaps in
the data?
The AGW movement has been exposed as a religious belief and a political cash cow, not science.
