Globo warmers destroy evidence

Sunday Times:

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.

...

I suspect they may have had other motives than space considerations. Frank Beckman points out, "The jaw-dropping evidence centers on the e-mails of the unit's leader, Professor Phil Jones who -- according to one message -- was willing to 'delete the (climate data) file rather than send' it to a pair of skeptics who sought to disprove his warming claims." When you add this admission to the actual destruction it shows the bad faith of the globo warmers.
