I cannot believe that all the establisment figures who comment(DISMISS) the contents of the e-mails, have read them in their entirity. Furthermore, i cannot understand why professor jones contemplated suicide if their contents were so beiign.The scientific community must stand up and be counted on this issue,if they are going to regain any semblance of credibility.They either support the hockey stick team or they condemn it. Speak up now or condemn science to an ignominious and deserved place of contempt in the minds of (in my opinion) most reasonable people.

Back-browsing – In case you never received a response, here is the text (not all of it, just ask) surrounding the unfinished quote above:
” Also this load of rubbish !

This is from an Australian at BMRC (not Neville Nicholls). It began from the attached

article. What an idiot. The scientific community would come down on me in no
uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only
7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant.

The Australian also alerted me to this blogging ! I think this is the term ! Luckily

I don’t live in Australia.

Unlike the UK, the public in Australia is very very naïve about climate change, mostly
because of our governments Kyoto stance, and because there is a proliferation of people
with no climate knowledge at all that are prepared to do the gov bidding. Hence the
general populace is at best confused, and at worst, antagonistic about climate change -
for instance, at a recent rural meeting on drought, attended by politicians and around
2000 farmers, a Qld collegue – Dr Roger Stone – spoke about drought from a climatologist
point of view, and suggested that climate change may be playing a role in Australias
continuing drought+water problem. He was booed and heckled (and unfortunately some
politicians applauded when this happened) – that’s what we’re dealing with due to
columists such as the one I sent to you.”

“by . . . design, the pre-selection of these particular emails makes the writers appear more preoccupied with ‘things Steve’ than they really are”

An aide-memoire (which includes this site) IS all about the author. So what? Any perceptive reader knows that.

What a bodger’s botch of a subthread this turned out to be. Or should that be botcher’s bodge?

Oh who cares. I’m not paying for it. Take it back and get a refund.

If the FOI request is refused why not also pump in an EIR which has less of a chance of refusal.

http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/policy/opengov/eir/faq.htm

gives some more data specifically. If the request can be phrased or go after a specific set of data this is a lot more difficult to refuse than an FOI.
