Here's a concept ... hang on to ur flower powah ... COST ANALYSIS.
You know what my problem with ignorant people like you is? You don't do any REAL researchResearcher: NASA hiding climate data...
Boxer: Hackers should face criminal probe over 'Climategate'...
Obama science officials defend warming research...
India 'will not sign' binding emission cuts...
boxer typical vomit politition attacking the whistle blower
is this the mob??
bitch get your priority's straight, trying to prosecute this sorry sap instead of investigating the biggest & most expensive fruad in history! that reaches across the globe with hundreds of billions at stake, and millions of jobs
Just one little problem with this latest tempest in a teapot no data was destroyed. And the article at The Times, oddly enough, just happens to leave out that part of Phil Jones explanation.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 UEAs 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.
The admission follows the leaking of a thousand private emails sent and received by Professor Phil Jones, the CRUs director. In them he discusses thwarting climate sceptics seeking access to such data.
In a statement on its website, the CRU said: We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.
By the way, heres some information on the group spreading the destroyed data claim: Competitive Enterprise Institute.According to CRUs Web site, Data storage availability in the 1980s meant that we were not able to keep the multiple sources for some sites, only the station series after adjustment for homogeneity issues. We, therefore, do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (i.e. quality controlled and homogenized) data.
Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit, said that the vast majority of the station data was not altered at all, and the small amount that was changed was adjusted for consistency.
The research unit has deleted less than 5 percent of its original station data from its database because the stations had several discontinuities or were affected by urbanization trends, Jones said.
When youre looking at climate data, you dont want stations that are showing urban warming trends, Jones said, so weve taken them out. Most of the stations for which data was removed are located in areas where there were already dense monitoring networks, he added. We rarely removed a station in a data-sparse region of the world.
Refuting CEIs claims of data-destruction, Jones said, We havent destroyed anything. The data is still there you can still get these stations from the [NOAA] National Climatic Data Center.
Again, the connection to energy industries and big tobacco. Almost every one of the main anti-AGW front groups is connected to either big energy or big tobacco, and often both.CEI is a think tank funded by donations from individuals, foundations and corporations. CEI does not accept government funding. Past and present funders include the Scaife Foundations, Exxon Mobil, the Ford Motor Company Fund, Pfizer, and the Earhart Foundation[5][6].
CEI is also active in the legal aspects of antitrust and government regulation. As part of its Control Abuse of Power (CAP) project, CEI launched lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the 1998 tobacco Master Settlement Agreement and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), respectively.
Are any of you experts on Climate?There's the intellectual left folks.... did any of you catch the razor like arguments of the data?
Ooops, me neither, never mind....
You know what my problem with ignorant people like you is? You don't do any REAL research
Take the first link you posted for example. They site the "competitive enterprise institute" group as a credible link....LOOOOOL
FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL
The latest recycled claim from the climate denialists: Climate change data dumped.

So instead of having our own energy producers harassed by regulations in the USA, we let them go to China (of course not all go). China is building or completing a coal plant every 10 days. 10days! We need to make sure that ALL of these coal plants are the very best thay can be. Let BIG OIL get in there and show them how it's done. We all get services, the govt.s begin to trust one another more, China gets cleaner energy, and we get much much cleaner air, and water.
India steps up to climate change commitmentsyour wrong there cracker china is now offering 40% carbon decrease in next decade and india is looking at a 25% percent reduction.
so you cant really use them as an excuse to carry on regardless eh??
It changes everything. The Antropogenic Climate Change push had precious little to do with the environment and everything to do with control. An immense wealth transfer scheme administered by the corrupt U.N. which would get a few hucksters insanely rich trading carbon credits. A scheme designed to cripple the U.S. economy.So even if it is proven that it's a vast scam conspiracy, it really doesn't change anything at all.
Pollution is a different matter entirely. It is a problem which should be addressed. But is it a U.S. problem which is not being addressed right now?We still are poisoning ourselves with smog over all major cities some worse than others, there's enough plastic in the ocean to make a giant barbie doll you could see from outer space, oil spills over 10 years old are still completely killing off marine life in some areas and were never cleaned up just sit there to this day, human waste has turned many rivers into health hazards where we won't even go in them for a minute and the fish coming out are deemed inedible and a health hazard, and as long as we remain on the oil tit we just throw our future away financially if nothing else and on and on and on.
You make some good points, but are these problems that the U.S. has been addressing successfully for decades, or are they problems that exist outside our borders and will not be addressed at the source unless somebody else pays the freight?I want to see the bullshit exposed as much as the next person, but it truly makes no difference things must change. You don't need a degree or to travel the world to see the devastation we are causing it's not just about some polar bears out on icebergs nobody has ever seen in their lives it's all around you and right above your head floating in the air so thick you can easily see it in a town near you.
Just words.... wait and see the action. there will be practically none beyond showboat projects. Both countries already see the steam leaving the carbon issue. They can read scientific news stories, ... just like us. They can see the Green train is leaving the tracks and headed towards oblivion, just like us.India steps up to climate change commitments
On the climate front, on Dec 4 India announced it would slow the growth of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 2020 following similar announcements by the U.S. and China.
India is a key player in the climate conference. It is ranked second globally in terms of population with an estimated 1.2 billion people and fifth in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Jairam Ramesh, Indias Environmental Minister, in a speech to Parliament on 12/3, laid out a plan to reduce the growth of GHG by up to 25% by 2020 using 2005 as a baseline. He said that India is prepared to do more if an equitable deal can be worked out in Copenhagen.
This speech has the appearance of a major change by India on climate change. In the past it has resisted measures that might slow the countrys development. Whats changed is a growing realization that India is not immune from the effects of climate change. Chief among them are potential shifts in the Monsoon rains and flooding of coastline areas by rising sea levels.
Not everyone has bought into the idea that resistance to climate change is futile. Top Indian diplomat, Shyam Saran, PM Singhs go to guy for the nuclear energy agreement with the U.S., said in a speech to Indian industrial CEOs Dec 3, We have to be very careful that we are not hustled into a position, inadvertently, where our economic interest is harmed.
The other factor influencing Indias policy shift are recent announcements by the U.S. and China. The Obama Administration said 12/2 it would cut total GHG by 17% below the 2005 baseline by 2020 and by 83% by 2050. On 12/3 the Chinese government followed suit announcing a plan to reduce the grow of GHG by up to 45% by 2020 compared to 2005 levels. All three nations based their targets on the concept of carbon intensity, which is an allocation of carbon dioxide emissions relative to gross domestic product.
looks like obama foreign policy might be working eh?
lol so now your saying india and china are liars? what are you basing that on cracker?Just words.... wait and see the action. there will be practically none beyond showboat projects. Both countries already see the steam leaving the carbon issue. They can read scientific news stories, ... just like us. They can see the Green train is leaving the tracks and headed towards oblivion, just like us.
Go figure.
