59 I have read dozens of the CRU threads now. My analysis is at Death By 1000 Paper Cuts.com. But in a nutshell, CRU did not only try to conceal contrary data, but manufactured data. They also programed the famed weather models to erase cold outliers but retain hot outliers. The consequence would be extreme. For instance in July of this year, measured by CRU, MET, and NASA as one of the 'warmest; ever, there were over 3,000 coldest day records, including 2 continental records (South America and Antarctica). If you ignored these.........?

62 They also programed the famed weather models to erase cold outliers but retain hot outliers.

That would be pretty damning evidence of intentional deception on someone's part. It could be a lackey/intern programmer looking to please, or it could be a lead researcher directing a lackey/intern to do it, or it could be something a lead researcher slipped in after the fact after the lackey/intern was done. To make any particular determination here, you'd need access to their source control system (assuming they even have one) and examine the change history for the module(s) in question. Minus access to their SCM system, who did it and via what mechanism it came to be, may remain a mystery.

Anyone say which source file is this supposed to have occurred in?

I would want to verify that code myself before running with that particular allegation as post of its own...which I would do if the code does in fact operate as you say. Raising the visibility level of something like this if its true, is the sort of thing that can cause enough political pressure that access to SCM systems might eventually be granted.

65 Know how to catch a polar bear?

Go out on an ice floe and cut a bear sized hole in the ice. Open a can of peas and arrange the peas in a circle around the hole.Hide nearby.

When the polar bear comes around to take a pea....kick him in the ice hole.

Posted by: FUBAR at November 25, 2009 04:46 AM (7/PMM)

74 I posted this initially in the wrong thread. It belongs here: What I find most stunning about Climategate is that it was so TOTALLY predicted by Global Warming Infidels like us. We all KNEW that "scientists" were "only human," and had a vested interested in making the "problem" out to be as bad as possible: their political ideological interests, not to mention all that grant money, was completely on the line for them. Yet Liberals insisted on sticking their heads in the sand, and pretended that "Scientists" were somehow the New Clergy, Sacrosanct, Above Reproach, to be Obeyed. Even NOW the Global Warming Is BS Truth Deniers babble on about "peer reviews" and being "published in respected Scientific Journals." And here we have the proof, in email after email, that the so-called "Harvard of Climate Science" was deliberately subverting the peer review process, and deliberately campaigning against the publication of any work that contradicted their Religion. So it became a circular argument: Non-Religionists cannot be believed, because WE refuse to peer review (or deliberately lie when we do). They cannot be taken seriously because they cannot be published (because we rig the game to make sure they can't). They cannot be published because they are not taken seriously because they are not peer reviewed. They cannot be peer reviewed (because they cannot be published). If this was just some intramural game between nerdy researchers, no real harm done. But these fools are out to destroy trillions of dollars of Global Wealth in the name of their new Religion. Millions will STARVE or remain in POVERTY in the name of this abject Fraud. Exit Observation: Vaclav Klaus had it nailed all along. He's got more common sense than the rest of the EU and Algore fans put together.

84 They are ideologically an Obama crowd, but they are AGHAST not at the emails but at the comments in the code.

Comments are often stale and unreliable indicators of what is actually going on. While the comments may be entertaining, the underlying code itself would need to be examined too. IOW - they're just comments of unknown vintage. They may be inoperative artifacts of a hasty cut/paste job in the past that doesn't apply to where the code was pasted into. Subsequent maintenance may have rendered them no longer operative. Getting programmers to clean up comments during maintenance work is usually difficult. You have to put a gun to their heads most of the time.

Comments are however a good place to apply "where there's smoke there's fire" principle. I used to scan Microsoft's stuff all the time when I was at IBM looking for "BUGBUG" in a comment. That was Microsoft's informal mechanism for documenting some spot in the code where there might be performance issues, holes in logic, compatibility problems, arbitrary limits issues, etc that the programmer was aware of. Most truly were little nits 99.9999% of users would never be impacted by, but a few were hum dingers that really did need to be fixed. I actually adopted this "BUGBUG" convention of Microsoft's myself since it was effective allowing for simple GREP scans and have been using it for the past 20 years ;->

Posted by: Purple Avenger at November 25, 2009 08:52 AM (Fk8Bo)

85 Another thing...

This code I've seen so far smacks of hasty prototype/demo quality rather than production grade quality.

The dire consequences when limited function, dubious quality prototypes are suddenly declared "production" with the wave of a hand by some executive/marketer (*cough* Al Gore *cough* *cough*) are well known.
