Denial isn’t just a river in East Anglia

This is getting pathetic:

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.

The admission follows the leaking of a thousand private emails sent and received by Professor Phil Jones, the CRU’s director. In them he discusses thwarting climate sceptics seeking access to such data.

In a statement on its website, the CRU said: “We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.”

These are some of the chief scientists who were involved in the UN’s climate change panel, upon whose report the entire issue of global warming is based. They’ve been caught hiding data, changing numbers, undermining peer-review, etc. Now, they’ve apparently destroyed the original data that they used to make their claims. They only have the fake data left.

What does this mean? It means that any claim these people make based on their own research should be ignored, because they can’t back it up with their original data, and it will be impossible for other scientists to reproduce their results.

Again, this is why we’re supposed to use curly light bulbs. This is why there are Priuses. This is why we need Cap & Trade. This is why we don’t build power plants in this country anymore. It’s all because of data that’s been made up by people who hide their fundamental data.

For those of us who believe that anthropogenic global warming is bullshit, this is just further evidence that it was a manufactured farce perpetrated by ridiculous people for political purposes. For those who believe that it’s a fact, you should be completely outraged by the incompetence and scheming of scientists who are actively seeking to obscure facts, manipulate date, and destroy the people who disagree with them.

How is the White House responding?

Climate Czar Carol Browner (former member of Socialist International):

"I’m sticking with the 2,500 scientists. These people have been studying this issue for a very long time and agree this problem is real."

Except that the data they’ve been using is now missing, and all that remains is fake data provided by scientists of questionable character.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs:

"Several thousand scientist have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening…I don’t think that is in dispute anymore"

Except for the fact that the fundamental evidence is in dispute, it’s not in dispute anymore. The dispute has grown so obvious that it’s doubtful that we should even HAVE a climate change czar.
