This is not a case of throwing the smoking gun to the bottom of the lake - the original data does still exist - at the institutes from which it was originally gathered. Anyone who has worked with compiling data from many sources knows there will be anonmalies in the way it has been gathered - formatting, units of measurement etc. It has to be cleaned up before it can be amalgamated into a single database. This is not a contentious issue and therefore it would be reasonable in the minds of some people to carry out this administrative task and use the results as your baseline. We could argue about whether this is manipulation or not but its not what I would call it. I base my opinions only on what I have been able to read in the press - you may have insider knowledge which is more condemning but so far I have not seen anything published.I do not condone the excessive zeal and PR tactics of some of the scientists at UEA - and of course it is a gift from the gods for the nay-sayers - but lets not get carried away with it.

XD I also find their motivations a joke...but truly see no humor in the manipulating of data, and then destroying the originals to cover ones tracks. Sad. Black humor anyone? Good one! XD
