On July 29, 2009, Phil Jones emailed Tom Peterson of NOAA (1248902393.txt) … I have a question for you. I’m going to write a small document for our web site to satisfy (probably the wrong word) the 50 or so FOI/EIR requests we’ve had over the weekend. I will put up the various agreements we […]
David Rose of the Mail places the Met Office obstruction of FOI requests squarely in the spotlight. The Met Office obstruction left a singularly bad taste with their sequence of untrue excuses for not producing John Mitchell’s Review Editor comments. First, they claimed that Mitchell had deleted all the emails concerning AR4. (This excuse came […]
Jonathan Leake of the Sunday Times has another IPCC blooper for breakfast tomorrow, this one about a looming 50% decline in north African crop production, a claim that occurs not just in the eccentric WG2, but the Synthesis Report:
As many CA readers know, I was slimed today in the Independent by reporter Paul Bignell, best known for his hard-hitting expose of Bagpuss the cat. Bignell reported: The children’s television producer Coolabi has bought the rights to produce Bagpuss for television, but Mr Postgate’s son, Daniel, has scotched plans to bring the series back. […]
Maurizio Morabito’s twitter notes here. Audio here. I’ve been trying for about 10 days to get a digital version of Muir-Wood’s data, sending three requests so far without an acknowledgement (Pielke Jr doesn’t have a copy of the Muir-Wood data.)

Since they only needed to correct four out of 23 proxies, there is no need to name those who pointed out errors. 😉 There is a small improvement over the draft version though; congratulations Hu! We thank H. McCulloch and others […]
The Guardian reviews the various theories on FOIA2009.zip, closing with what must be the absolute worst nightmare scenario for UEA. After observing that “so far, the police investigation has got nowhere.”, they state: It is not even clear whether the crime of computer data interception has actually occurred. They describe a scenario in which no […]
Ralph Cicerone, President of the US National Academy of Sciences, has weighed in on the CRU and data sharing controversies – he’s now in favor of data sharing. While it’s nice that he’s seen the light, he has previously (in best Sir Humphrey style) manipulated the NAS panel terms of reference to avoid having to […]
Is here. I’ll comment later. See RA-10 here and RA-47 here 4 p.m. A couple of quick points. Readers should understand that I have limited expectations from this sort of inquiry. What I do expect is that the authors not make untrue statements that can be easily disproven. (At least make them hard to disprove.) […]
