re: #310 Seltzer123

Do you think that you are being a little uncharitable by using that quotation?

The report’s comment “We saw no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice in any of the work of the Climatic Research Unit and had it been there we believe that it is likely that we would have detected it. Rather we found a small group of dedicated if slightly disorganised researchers who were ill-prepared for being the focus of public attention. As with many small research groups their internal procedures were rather informal.”

is a far cry from comments made about the CRU following the release of the stolen and out-of-context e-mails.

Uncharitable? What do you mean, it’s in the report. My personal concern on this issue (and if you have been here for any amount of time, you know this)… my concern has been on the data processing procedures at CRU. And the paragraph addresses that, doesn’t it?

And what the fuck are you suggesting, that I should only quote paragraphs from the report that meets with your fucking approval?
