Jct: I guess the university had prepared in case their crooked
research got exposed
by having a Pro-Vice Chancellor to defend their scientific vices:

> Statement from Professor Trevor Davies, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Research
> There is nothing in the stolen material which indicates peer-reviewed publications
> by CRU, and others, on the nature of global warming and related
> climate change are not of the highest-quality of scientific
> investigation and interpretation.

Jct: Hiding the truth is lying, cheating. Destroying evidence?
Must be how things are done at this corrupt university.


> CRU’s peer-reviewed publications are
> consistent with, and have contributed to, the overwhelming scientific
> consensus that the climate is being strongly influenced by human
> activity.

Jct: Still willing to lie.

> there is a broad scientific consensus that the Earth will continue to warm,
> with attendant changes in the climate, for the foreseeable future.

Jct: A broad consensus among those from whom they hid the decline!
"Look, they remain fooled, so it must be true!"

> Respected international research groups, using other data sets, have come
to the same conclusion.

Jct: None of your crew are respected any more, except among
yourselves,
doing peer review about yourselves. No shame at such corrupttion.

> The University of East Anglia and CRU are committed to scientific
> integrity, open debate and enhancing understanding.

Jct: Har har har. Stating the opposite of the truth is no alibi.

> This includes a commitment to the international peer-review system

Jct: Which is now know has been exposed as completely corrupted.
Har har, relying on corrupted peers for help.

> It is this tried and tested system which has underpinned the assessments
> of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Jct: Yes, tried and tested to be crooked.

> It is through that process that we can engage in respectful
> and informed debate with scientists whose analyses appear not to be
> consistent with the current overwhelming consensus on climate change

Jct: Don't you just love seeing a "Vice-Chacellor" blowing his
reputation forever!

> The publication of a selection of stolen data... faced with difficult circumstances
> related to a criminal breach of our security systems and our concern to
> protect colleagues from the more extreme behaviour of some who have
> responded in irrational and unpleasant ways

Jct: Yes, people who have been lied to may react in unpleasant but not
irrational ways.

> There has been understandable interest in the progress and outcome of
> the numerous requests under information legislation for large numbers
> of the data series held by CRU.

Jct: And even more interest in why the numerous requests were denied,
the only possible reason the data isn't proudly displayed can only be
that it has been fudged.

> The University takes its responsibilities under the Freedom of Information
> Act 2000, Environmental Information Regulations 2004, and the Data
> Protection Act 1998 very seriously and has, in all cases, handled and
> responded to requests in accordance with its obligations under each
> particular piece of legislation. Where appropriate, we have consulted with the
> Information Commissioners Office and have followed their advice.

Jct: Didn't Phil Jones admit he had corrupted them into not pushing? I
guess
the Vice Chancellor didn't read that part.

> In relation to the specific requests at issue here, we have handled
> and responded to each request in a consistent manner in compliance
> with the appropriate legislation. No record has been deleted, altered,
> or otherwise dealt with in any fashion with the intent of preventing
> the disclosure of all, or any part, of the requested information.

Jct: Gee, has he forgotten their admission that the destroyed the
data?
I guess that with the evidence destroyed, we have to take his word for
it.

> Where information has not been disclosed, we have done so in
> accordance with the provisions of the relevant legislation and have so
> informed the requester.

Jct: Yes, Phil Jones did explain some of the ruses he was going to
use
to deny publishing the truth to the world.

> The Climatic Research Unit holds many data series... It is a time-consuming
> process to attempt to gain approval from these organisations to release the data.

Jct: What a piece of bullshit. These are government-supported agencies
who don't
own the data. It is a great sounding excuse for hiding the data
though.

> experience has shown that determined and skilled people, who are
> prepared to engage in criminal activity, can sometimes hack into
> apparently secure systems.

Jct: And expose his own criminal activity. I've asked before if it is
a crime
to blow the whistle on their crimes. People who concentrate on the
legality of the leak instead of the legality of the fraud are not
doing a very
good job of covering up the fraud.

> Highly-protected government organisations around the world have also
> learned this to their cost.

Jct: These government organisations who won't reveal their data?

> We have, therefore, decided to conduct an independent review, which
> will address the issue of data security, an assessment of how we
> responded to a deluge of Freedom of Information requests, and any
> other relevant issues which the independent reviewer advises should be
> addressed.

Jct: So they're going to investigate everything about the improper
exposure
of their crime but not the crime. Har har har.
Professor Trevor Davies, East Anglia University's Pro-Vice Chancellor
is
not doing a good job convincing us their vices aren't that important.
\
Amazing they'd have a Chancellor in charge of vice.
