re: #117 Bagua

The MSM has its value, and they are good at highlighting an issue. But so often they fail to truly understand and fairly represent what they are writing about.

Assuming everything is Kosher - and those at CRU deserve the benefit of the doubt at this point - then there will be no problem verifying the data and the results. It will just take a bit of time and correct procedures. Should have been done long ago.

And the raw data is only part of the picture, it is how that data was adjusted and used. Presumably they did not discard those notes as well? If not, then it should prove no problem to verify everything.

Who is going to hold their feet to the fire? I really ask that with no idea of the answer. It appears that there has actually been peer reviewed scientist that have been locked out of the process, at least as far as CRU is concerned, so, how tight does CRU hold the lid on other valid research?
