Really… I’ve been reading up a lot on CRU versus the FOIA requests that they have received over the last 5-6 years, and they don’t seem to think so.

Yep, the undeniable fact on the face of it. CRU has scored an own goal that will be difficult to recover from.

The basic physics of what is observable and demonstrable remain, such as the properties of CO2 in a closed system, etc. But the necessary data to call an emergency appears to have flown the coup.

If nothing else, the IPCC AR4 will need scrapping as will a host of papers that have sourced the CRU work, or at minimum will have to be placed in limbo while the work is verified.
