So, that's where 'Pee Wee Herman' went!

Or this:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936328.ece
"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."

[...]

"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."


Hey, Phil Jones, Mr. let's-delete-our-AR4-e-mails, is the director of
the CRU (Climatic Research Unit). I hadn't noticed that.

If sea level rise is real, it might be a problem.

Do you design electronics? Tell us about it.

He's gotta be maxed out over his heart. That's no fun. Maybe we
should have mercy, lest he explode it.
