Review: “Global Warming: The Other Side” | CLIMATEGATE
E.Michael Smith notes “When doing a benchmark test of the program, I found patterns in the input data from NCDC that looked like dramatic and selective deletions of thermometers from cold locations.” Smith says after awhile, it became clear this was not a random strange pattern he was finding, but a well designed and orchestrated manipulation process. “The more I looked, the more I found patterns of deletion that could not be accidental. Thermometers moved from cold mountains to warm beaches; from Siberian Arctic to more southerly locations, and from pristine rural locations to jet airport tarmacs. The last remaining Arctic thermometer in Canada is in a place called ‘The Garden Spot of the Arctic,’ always moving away from the cold and toward the heat. I could not believe it was so blatant and it clearly looked like it was in support of an agenda,” Smith says

Watts Up With NASA? - Chris Horner - Planet Gore on National Review Online
But for now, take a gander at this e-mail from the New York Times's Andrew Revkin to James Hansen — included below one of Hansen's missives massaging Andy's late entry into the fray with an apologia for which NASA's Reto Ruedy later gushed in thanks (causing Andy to despair, in apparent further apology that he couldn't do more, that the issue had become difficult for him to ignore). The thread is dated August 23, 2007:
i never, til today, visited http://www.surfacestations.org and found it quite amazing. if our stations are that shoddy, what's it like in Mongolia?
...
Speaking of crummy data and Mongolia — among other neighboring locales — some amazing discoveries have trickled into the open that will also receive a further airing shortly. Who knew that, for example, tiny China needs only 35 stations to tell us the country's surface temperature within a hundredth of a degree . . . such that more than 350 could be closed? We know the China data is valid.
