Comments on: Climategate II Tools http://climateaudit.org/2011/11/23/climategate-ii-tools/ by Steve McIntyre Mon, 20 May 2013 20:19:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ZT http://climateaudit.org/2011/11/23/climategate-ii-tools/#comment-312748 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 18:55:54 +0000 http://climateaudit.org/?p=14993#comment-312748 I had a mistake in the script that create kwic.txt. I’ve fixed it now, and the update file sizes are kwic.txt (197mb) and kwic.pdf (79mb). Yes, these files are large. They have a lot of redundancy because each sentence is reproduced several times with a different keyword highlighted. Their merit is that they quickly allow you to assess the context of a given term.

Probably ‘midnight commander’ (as discussed here) can also be used. The files that contain the string ‘ippr’ are 1748.txt 3213.txt 4573.txt.

This file is 105mb. Once you have on your machine commands like:

grep -i “cheque” kwic.txt

…will give you a rapid sense of who is picking up what in the way of extra-curricular payments (sorry consulting). The benefit of the kwic index is that it is fast, and you see the context of the word. I also made a PDF of this file here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50773158/kwic.pdf

(The PDF file is 44mb)

http://dump.kurthbemis.com/climategate2/FOIA/mail/

there files are “missing”: is this a result of some not being released yet?

Let’s suppose we are using one of the following:
http://foia2011.org
http://di2.nu/foia/foia.pl
http://www.ecowho.com/foia.php

Can anyone advise on advanced search techniques?
e.g. looking for compound term, what delimiters can one use?

use of wild cards?

Suppose I want to search for BP – this seems to get rejected as being too short?

Thanks.

http://www.ecowho.com/foia.php

This combines both Climategate 1 & 2 e-mails with a search engine. !!!
