If It’s Worse in Context, Why not Print It?

Specifically, please cite an instance of selective quoting from Climategate: The CRUTape Letters, Jan. 2010.

Here’s a quote on page 9:

But that explanation certainly can’t rectify why Keith’s series, which has similar seasonality and latitudinal emphasis to Phil’s series, differs in large part in exactly the opposite direction that Phil’s does from ours.

Gee, let’s try to avoid drifting into a Climategate discussion, too. I’ll limit my response to the 141 words you just spent on the topic. First, they tried to get a journal editor fired for the sin of daring to publish papers that were full of intentional and unintentional errors. Second, everybody agrees that the “decline” caption was inadequate. Third, it did become way too personal for them…though I don’t know if I wouldn’t react the same way if I had discovered that our entire civilization was in danger and others were using dirty tricks to convince people that it wasn’t. My biggest complaint was their unwillingness to share data. Meanwhile, though, we have the PCMDI archive, where every model run from the IPCC is publicly available to download and analyze. So don’t tar and feather the entire discipline.

Climategate

[** Vaughan Pratt’s conclusion.**]

Climategate is incontrovertible proof that every government in the world is part of the coverup of the fact that climate science has lied to everyone: governments, the public, you name it.
