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.

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.)
The Guardian reviews the various theories on FOIA2009.zip, closing with what must be the absolute worst nightmare scenario for UEA.
