Ted, > They dicked around with the date to make it look more impressive but they did not lie.
They did more than that, but even changing dates is bad enough.
Sorry.....I meant data, not date.
You're just listening to the denial from the left-wing bloggers who, like CJ, have a vested interest in keeping the "climate change" craze partisan.
Like I said....google is your friend.........the truth is out there, do a search. Actually, here you go:
Exhibit A for conservatives has been the revelation in the emails that, back in the 1980s, CRU discarded a set of data on raw surface temperature. The Post argues that that means "it's now impossible to check the CRU research," and adds "So much for settling questions and resolving debates with science."
But as Brad Plumer at The New Republic notes, at least three other respected organizations -- NASA, NOAA, and the Japan Meteorological Agency -- have been analyzing global temperature trends, and all three, like CRU, have found clear evidence that warming is occurring. (Plumer even has a handy chart.)
Even an email by CRU director Phil Jones about using a "trick" to "hide the decline" in temperatures, merely refers, according to Plumer, "to a method of concatenating two different data sets--this "trick" has been openly discussed in scientific journals like Nature since 1998."
