There's nothing there that looks like a suggestion to delete any data.
In fact, I've seen very little in any of the released emails to suggest
any sort of hiding of data or scientifically suspect actions. There's
nothing there but political ammo; it doesn't change the overall quality
of climate research, nor the obvious conclusion that AGW is a real
phenomenon.

S. Caro -- What makes you thing data was deleted?

Take a look at what's happening around the world.
I've provided you with links to some good graphic
of data form many independent sources.

CO2 increase, Global Temperature increase, Sea Level
increase, are all consistent with each other. Real
impact is showing up in agriculture, ecosystems, weather
patterns, shifting seasons and ice melting.

The global data CLEARLY shows:

Human contributed increase in green house gas CO2

And accompanying Sea Level Rise

Apparently objective accountability doesn't qualify as evidence, that
is unless it favors the opposite of AGW.

Since you claim to be able to read the source. Did you notice that the
whole section is commented out. Did you see that the whole collection
isn't being used as part of the analysis programs Nah that would make
you look stupid Chuckle pretty stupid on your part

First prove that the emails contain anything more than a bunch of
emails between scientists who are sick and tired being libeled and
slandered by industry paid shills and clueless morons like you. Then
explain to me why you are willing to ignore Pat Michaels lying under
oath before Congress about global warming, why you are willing to
allow Steve McIntyre lie about the availability of raw tree ring data,
why you are willing to allow the Heartland Institute offer a $10,00
reward for anyone to lie about global warming.

Sam although I agree there is need to oppose the libel and slander,
Staup freely admits that he has lost cognative ability and memory and
Caro never had any.

Indeed I have read the emails, a long time before you have, I've
looked at the source code a long time ago. All you can do is post
links from people like Watts, Spencer, Miloy, Soon, Baliunas,
McIntyre, McKitrick, de Freitas All of whom have been shown to be
unable to do simple arithmetic or who have freely admitted that they
sold their integrity for a few dollars.

What makes you think that every scientist in the world isn't trying to
find something wrong with the observed data and modeling results and
haven't taken a close look at the date, collection methods, analysis
methods and source code, and conclusions. You claim to have read the
emails, but it is clear you haven't since you would have seen how much
effort goes into making sure morons like you don't have a leg to
stand on. Think how often liars like Watts, Michaels, Miloy, McIntyre
and McKitrick have tried to shoot down Hansen's results and methods.
Guess what Watts, Michaels, Miloy, McIntyre and McKitrick and host of
others are so incompetent that they get laughed at every time they
open their mouth.Think McIntyre and McKitrick who got shot down by
group of statistician (McIntrye's supposed field of competence) who
said in a National Academy of Science report the McIntyre is
incompetent. Kinda like McIntyre claiming Briffa wouldn't give him
tree ring data and that McIntyre could not verify Briffa's results so
therefore Briffa's hiding something.Guess what? McIntryre had the tree
ring data for longer than Briffa. If you are so concerned with fraud
why aren't screaming about McIntyre's fraud? Why aren't you screaming
fraud when the oil/gas industry lobbying group (the lobbying groups
name is the Heartland Institute) offers a $10,000 reward to anyone
who will publish an anti-global warming paper whether it is factual or
not? Why aren't you screaming fraud when Christy publishes papers in
the scientific journals that Hansen's projections are correct,
testifies under oath in court that Hansen's projections and
conclusions are correct, yet goes on Heartland Institute sponsored
speaking tours claiming Hansen is wrong

I'm on your side. It was meant as a pun, whereas the anti-AGW clowns
and their Big Energy puppet masters are the ones being very data
selective and otherwise obfuscating hardest upon whatever doesn't help
their argument.

Objective accounting of those remaining volumes of 'slow ice' is all
that matters. We're headed towards losing a km3/day, and that's not
exactly a good sign.

With 30e6 km3 and the average daily loss of 1 km3 = 30e6 days, or only
82,192 years and those oceans full of expanding dead zones will no
longer rise, other than for thermal expansion (<1% of 15e9 km3 = 15e6
km3) as our environment really gets hot and humid. Actually, there
should be a progressive acceleration of melt, so perhaps within 8,000
years we’re ice free and oceans high, with Antarctica summers running
well above freezing (lots of fall, winter, spring season snow as fast
ice, but that’s about it).
