Climate Change Data Shredded To Cover Tracks
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 UEAs 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 CRUs 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.
The CRU is the worlds leading centre for reconstructing past climate and temperatures. Climate change sceptics have long been keen to examine exactly how its data were compiled. That is now impossible.
Roger Pielke, professor of environmental studies at Colorado University, discovered data had been lost when he asked for original records. The CRU is basically saying, Trust us. So much for settling questions and resolving debates with science, he said.
Jones was not in charge of the CRU when the data were thrown away in the 1980s, a time when climate change was seen as a less pressing issue. The lost material was used to build the databases that have been his lifes work, showing how the world has warmed by 0.8C over the past 157 years.
He and his colleagues say this temperature rise is unequivocally linked to greenhouse gas emissions generated by humans. Their findings are one of the main pieces of evidence used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which says global warming is a threat to humanity.

The only global warming that is happening is in my pants right now.

I 10000% agree with this guy. He says exactly what all of us (who never believed Al Gore’s fear-mongering, money-grubbing, political-pandering lies) have been thinking all along.
We just got snow …
We just got snow her in No. Cal. Hasn’t happened in 30 years. I’m freezing.
Do the little ones …
Do the little ones who have been terrorised to think the Copenhagen Treaty will bring global solutions to changes in the weather and future food crisis realise that they’re supporting a one world government that will actually cause that reality? Where is that treaty? I’ve heard about whats in the draft but can I confirm that information? No. The media is blatently a machine of propaganda. We’re all suppose to be in a pandemic crisis aren’t we WHO? The Baxter contamination thing in Austria?

3 cheers for this guy. We need more to tell it like it is.

It will always be about control not for our benefit..
That’s why they are …
That’s why they are calling it “climate change” now. The liars are covered either way.
SINCE 1961 the …
SINCE 1961 the world believed that greenhouse gasses were being trapped in the ozone. Al Gore and other people showed “evidence” that this was happening. Did you notice that Al Gore is a liar. He drives a hummer, has jet skis, and has a private airplane. On top of that he made over 200 million dollars from the Global Warming Scam. I cant believe i believed him for all those years. The truth should be heard and this man who stood out. I thank you. The Scam is over and we can be happy again.
AWESOME!
AWESOME!
Great video, there …
Great video, there should be more guys like him, people need to hear the truth about all of this CO2 warming bull! Just another way to get in your pocket! Actualy, more CO2 would help agriculture and improved crop yield… Plants love CO2!
But if you are like …
But if you are like me and want to do something about it then stop watching this film and take 2 minutes to e-mail your M.P. or Congress representative and say no to Copenhagen. In the U.K. 92% do not believe in man made warming but do believe that the climate is changing
GO ON. BE THE ONE TO MAKE A DIFFERANCE.
What we need to do …
What we need to do is work out what our contribution to warming is if any. After all if human activity is at least partially responsible as they say there may not be a lot we can do. If our contribution is say 10% and we cut our co2 by 50% that 2 degree rise will still be 1.9 degree.
We need to invest in living with rising temperatures, food, water and future energy needs. As in North America and Asia where GM crops are failing we need to do this naturally.
no there is not for …
no there is not for the last few years yes do to the suns lowered output during its eleven year cycle and el nina (you can see that on the weather channel its the reason for a slow hurrican season) in the seventies it was cooling as well due to sulfur dioxide which was emitted from burning coal and other fossil fuels containing sulfure. guess what we did we scrubbed it out of the emissions and now its not blocking sunlight which causes the CO2 to start trapping more heat.
and global warming …
and global warming helps the government how? and scientist forged all the data even down to the chemical characteristics of molecules and elements? and the physics and math? and all of them together coordinated this for decades just so the public would believe it and then have the government say nope to measures that would help with the mythical problem? wow the government likes things difficult
@Prontest Yes it is …
@Prontest Yes it is true that the government funded school system educates us in a way that would be beneficial to them.Look at all the history they have hidden from us.
Now watch. …
Now watch. Eventually we will have to pay for research on global cooling… that is, if the global warming gang ever gets blocked from picking our pockets on this issue. It’s all about money, not science.
The idiots are …
The idiots are those like YOU that are loony lemmings following along without any evidence. There hard data that the earth is actually COOLING.
Well Said.
…
Well Said.
Unfortunately Obama and other world “leaders” don’t get it and will enter into a stupid treaty.
This is the best …
This is the best video I have every seen in the past 5 years! FINALLY someone in politics is actually brave enough to speak up for sanity!
Al Gore and everyone who every raised money for global warming should have to pay it back, be sued, and be charged with fraud and theft.
Thank you . . . Check and Mate!
