My analysis of the CRU emails shows that 50% of the emails were accounted for by 32 people and 90% of the mails from only 12 high-level domains. This supports the contention that contributers like Buba Jallow were given sinecures to give the impression that there was a world-wide consensus.

I’ve been living in Europe for a good number of years now. That kind of language is normal here. It’s the product of mish-mash bureaucracy.

The jargon at that site is truly astounding!
