re: #101 Walter L. Newton
This is not EMAILS… this is a 314 page narrative by the CRU programer Ian Harris and the notes he made as he went though years and years of live legacy program code and was finding error after error.
This is his diary of the work he did and the problems he found, problems he found with LIVE LEGACY PROGRAMS AND DATA.
Haven’t scientists worked with inaccurate data before and refined their calculations as more accurate data became available? Isn’t that pretty much how science works?
We have no idea how much skew the inaccurate data may have caused and if it was even enough to be notable.
The fact that there were at one time errors in the data is nothing shocking, surprising, or scandalous.
