Climategate and the damaged node that is today's mainstream media
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
The UEA's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.
The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals -- stored on paper and magnetic tape -- were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.
Five things to take away here:
- Climate change studies the world over are based upon research done at UEA's Climate Research Unit.
- UEA's Climate Research Unit has been fudging their numbers to show warming trends not otherwise found in the data.
- UEA dumped all of the raw data from which they derived their "adjusted" data so no one can go back and try to duplicate the results of their research.
- Trillions and trillions of tax dollars hang in the balance based upon the "findings" of UEA's CRU and any other research based upon those findings.
- You've seen virtually nothing about all of this in the mainstream press.
The precursor to today's internet (ArpaNet) was designed and built by the Department of Defense to detect damage in the system and to route vital information around the damaged node to keep that information flowing.
There is no way to look at today's mainstream national press other than as a damaged node.

At this point ,Theo, I believe Global-Warming is more in line like a wannabe Scientology .
A BUSINESS desiring non-profit status, and thus, implied Government approval.
Make up the biggest ,stupidest story you can think of . Repeat that story with an ominous voice and a straight face and people will throw MONEY at you ! (Remember channeling in the '80's?)
I'm waiting to hear what the church of 2012 has to say .
Kick the tires and light the fires, problem officially slvoed!

Global warming is a religion--you won't see anything about it in the legacy media because being a doubter is being a denier and that's heretical.
The BBC World Service on XM can be pretty good, except when anyone even gets close to even questioning the "science" behind AGW. And then the droids come down in force.
About the destroyed data. Is it stretching it to suggest a parallel to Savonarola over 500 years ago?
I have a friend, Harvard, Harvard law, who has fallen for this rubbish because in his circles it's just part of the atmosphere. And he's been sensible since 1972, when we first became friends. Not that I'm causative.
