No, but looking at some of the narratives about the data that I have been reading this afternoon, it appears that the RELATIONS from certain data records to the actual STATIONS that collected the data is not possible to reconstruct. And that is a sticking point for anyone that wants to reconstruct the science.

And the actual percentage of discarded data was 2 percent.

Two percent?

Two percent?

This whole thing is over two percent of the raw data, discarded over 30 years ago, in just one dataset out of many hundreds of datasets collected by scientists around the world.

Are you starting to see how completely, utterly insignificant and overblown this story is?
