You may have caught the revelation that three out of four “independent” data sets cannot be used as the basis for anything. One of them — CRU — has been withdrawn and for all legal and scientific purposes no longer exists. This means NASA’s GISS temp data — at least before pre-April 2008 — doesn’t, either, given that NASA simply drew its global temp data from CRU, the home of the fictional Climategate data.

Here in the East Anglia e-mails we see another admission — this time from Tom Wigley – that NASA’s data was even more poorly managed than CRU’s.
