GORE LIED

Could be.

As noted here earlier today, according to the CRU web page, a staffer named Mr. Ian (Harry) Harris performs “dendroclimatology, climate scenario development, data manipulation and visualisation, programming”.

Soylent Green thinks there’s something fishy about the Harry_Read_Me file, which was also noted by Steve McIntyre:

Love the ironic title. Got this from reader, Glenn. I’m out of my depth trying to read the code–and apparently so were several folks at CRU. If what he, and the techies at the links, say is true, it’s no wonder they had to spin this for 10 years–it’s all absolute bullshit.

Here’s Glenn’s take with links:

The hacked e-mails were damning, but the problems they had handling their own data at CRU are a dagger to the heart of the global warming “theory.” There is a large file of comments by a programmer at CRU called HARRY_READ_ME documenting that their data processing and modeling functions were completely out of control.

They fudged so much that NOTHING that came out of CRU can have ANY believability. If the word can be gotten out on this and understood it is the end of the global warming myth. This much bigger than the e-mails. For techie takes on this see:

To base a re-making of the global economy (i.e. cap-and-trade)on disastrously and hopelessly messed up data like this would be insanity.

So, perhaps Mr. Ian (Harry) Harris is connected to this now notorious Harry_Read_Me file.

Brainstorming and thinking out loud in the comments is highly recommended.

Hat tip (again) to reader JasonR.
