Climate Audit

I wonder if it would be worth asking if they made a copy before they returned the server? And on a related note (as I have also commented at BH):

Hmmm … maybe they’re not so certain after all … from the Q&A at the press conference:

Can you describe what investigations you undertook at the UEA and who you interviewed there?

The focus internally was on the IT infrastructure and working out from there. We also looked at people working at or with connections to the Climate Research Unit and, in simple terms, we were looking for anything obvious. All members of staff were interviewed. If someone had some obvious links or had an axe to grind, then that might have been a line of enquiry.

Generally speaking, it was a screening exercise which did not provide any positive lines of enquiry.
Whilst – because we have not found the perpetrators – we cannot say categorically that no-one at the UEA is involved, there is no evidence to suggest that there was. The nature and sophistication of the attack does not suggest that it was anyone at the UEA. [emphasis added -hro]

Perhaps their “results” were affected by yet another “screening fallacy” 😉

  Wow. I’d be crying if I was a UEA employee”.

  Police: “UEA employees are incapable of sophistication.”

    To get onto the Climate Science Degree course at UEA you only need 2 grade E’s at A Level. Its not called the University of Easy Access just because FOIA got TB’s of data from their servers.
