Emails in Order « the Air Vent
Buffy Minton who provided the Mime data has produced a spreadsheet of CG1 and CG2 emails in chronological order. This should be an excellent tool to follow conversations through.
Thus, these e-mails further document that Phil Jones provided an incomplete statement on his conflict of interest with the CCSP report. Tom Karl, Tom Peterson, Tom Wigley, Peter Thorne and Ben Santer clearly knew about this conflict. For whatever reason, they sacrificed an opportunity for an independent assessment of the CCSP report. The NRC did not properly vet the individuals on the NRC committee.
The released e-mails show a behavior that appears to be systemic throughout much of the leadership with respect to climate assessments such as performed by the IPCC.

We are edging to the crunch point, the moment when the senators crowd around Caesar, the daggers go in and Kyoto stumbles and dies. Developing countries – like Porritt – fear that any new treaty that might emerge will be much weaker than the existing Kyoto protocol regime, with a voluntary and domestic "pledge and review" system nowhere near strong enough to force countries to act. Any new treaty which might emerge after the death of Kyoto, they say, would be a complete re-writing of the UN convention where historical responsibility and the principles of equity are disregarded.Developing countries profess to be Kyoto's friend, but how many of these in the wings secretly conceal a dagger and intend to join the throng of rich countries in Durban hoping to kill Kyoto off in the next two weeks?
