Charles,

Frankly your position on this is baffling. Santer et. al. have admitted to destroying/losing/not finding data. Phil Jones, in response to a FOIA request, also admitted to destroying data to “save space”. You’ll note that his story now changes in light of the public release of the CRU’s code and email. The only reason to do this is to engage in damage control and deception.

References in the newly released code also highlight areas where data was lost, far beyond what Phil Jone’s is willing to admit under FOIA requirements.
