re: #145 karmic_inquisitor

I think the issue with the CRU data was and has been that the raw data and the methods for adjusting it were not transparent. The code shows why they didn’t want to do that - they are lousy software engineers with no source control and publishing their code would have been an embarrassing, even if the adjustments were all necessary and proper.

Actually, you can’t tell that they weren’t using some kind of version control from the stolen files. Those files were assembled deliberately by the thief, to cherry-pick the most damaging stuff.
