Roger Pielke Sr points out in a recent blog post that NOAA, GISS, and HADCrut3 all overlap 90%-95% in their data. All three temperature records track each other to an impossible degree of precision. If one is bad then they all are bad. The skeptic mantra must be SHOW! ME! THE! DATA! In every newspaper. Whenever there is a report on Copenhagen let the comment section fill with the rallying cry; SHOW! ME! THE! DATA! Say it with me one time. SHOW! ME! THE! DATA! Don't it make you feel good just saying it? Phil Jones threatened in one of his emails to delete the primary data if the Freedom of Information inquiry ever came to fruition.

In every newspaper. Whenever there is a report on Copenhagen let the comment section fill with the rallying cry; SHOW! ME! THE! DATA!

Say it with me one time.
SHOW! ME! THE! DATA!

Don’t it make you feel good just saying it?

The mainstream news media is doing their best to ignore the story but it’s spreading anyway and rightfully so. I hope Rudd tries to drive though Cap&Trade anyway and fails miserably. What I don’t understand is why would Rudd want to do this when the USA, China and India have no Cap&Trade? They are the big emitters, Australia barely emits enough CO2 to warm up a cup of coffee let alone the planet. Climategate could not have happened at a more opportune time.
