Draft Contributing Author to the Summary for Policy Makers, and Coordinating Lead
Author of Ch3 of the 4th UN IPCC report on climate change, AR4)
Jul 5 2005: The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant. (1120593115.txt)
Note: in 2012, it is now 14 years of cooling.
2/2/2005: The two MMs have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I'll delete the file rather than send to anyone. (1107454306.txt)
-
Thu May 29, 2008, Subject: IPCC & FOI: Can you delete any emails you may have had
with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He's not in at the moment -
We will be getting Caspar to do likewise. (1212073451.txt)
Note: Destroying information subject to a FOI request is a crime.

September 12, 2007: Ammann/Wahl -
-
Jul 8 16:30:16 2004: I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report.
Kevin and I will keep them out somehow -
-
16 Nov 1999: I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline. ( 0942777075.txt)
Note: this is an extremely important admission: the “decline” he is hiding is the temperature decline since 1961, in the tree ring data, while the actual temperature rose. The existence of this decline suggests that tree ring data can’t be trusted for any period, since it deviates from measured temperatures in one period (after 1961.) This is crucial as much of the IPCC case rests on tree rings.
11 Mar 2003: I will be emailing the journal to tell them I'm having nothing more to do with it until they rid themselves of this troublesome editor. A CRU person is on the editorial board, but papers get dealt with by the editor assigned by Hans von Storch. (1047390562.txt)
-
Dec 3, 2008: When the FOI requests began here, the FOI person said we had to abide
by the requests. It took a couple of half hour sessions -
Dec 3, 2008: About 2 months ago I deleted loads of emails, so have very little -
Nov 24, 2009 Guardian: We’ve not deleted any emails or data here at CRU.
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/24/climate-
Note: he emails that he has deleted loads of emails and a year later tells the newspaper he didn’t.

Draft Contributing Author for the Summary for Policy Makers,
contributing author to Ch 1, a lead author for Ch 3, and
contributing author to Ch 7 of the 4th UN IPCC report on climate change, AR4.)
12 Oct 2009: ...we have broken records the past two days for the coldest days on record. (...) and it smashed the previous records for these days by 10F. (...) The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. (. . .) Our observing system is inadequate. (1255352257.txt)
-
Oct 14, 2009: We are not close to balancing the energy budget. The fact that we can not account for what is happening in the climate system makes any consideration of geoengineering quite hopeless as we will never be able to tell if it is successful or not! It is a travesty! (1255523796.txt)
Michael E. Mann
Creator of the famous “hockey stick” shaped temperature curve
prominently featured in the UN’s third climate report (tar) used by Al Gore.
04 Jun 2003: I think that trying to adopt a timeframe of 2K, rather than the usual 1K, addresses a good earlier point that Peck made w/ regard to the memo, that it would be nice to try to "contain" the putative "MWP", even if we don't yet have a hemispheric mean reconstruction available that far back (1054736277.txt)
Note: Elimination of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) makes today’s temperatures look unusual.
27/10/2009, 16:54: As to the issues of robustness, particularly w.r.t. inclusion of the Yamal series, we actually emphasized that (including the Osborn and Briffa '06 sensitivity test) in our original post! As we all know, this isn't about truth at all, its about plausibly deniable accusations. (1256735067.txt)

May 1999: Trust that I'm certainly on board w/ you that we're all working towards
a common goal. That is what is distressing about commentarys (yours from last year,
and potentially, without us having had approprimate input, Keith and Tim's now) that
appear to "divide and conquer". The skeptics happily took your commentary last year
as reason to doubt our results! In fact, your piece was references in several commentaries
(mostly on the WEB, not published) attacking our work. So THAT is what this is all
about. It is in the NAME of the common effort we're all engaged in, that I have voiced
concerns about language and details in this latest commentary-
Please understand the above to be a complete and honest statement about the source of my concerns. It really doesn't have anything to do about who did what first, etc. I trust that history will give us all proper credit for what we're doing here. (0926010576.txt)
Tom Wigley
Contributing Author to Ch 10 of of the 4th UN IPCC report on climate change.
06 Nov 2009: We probably need to say more about this. Land warming since 1980 has
been twice the ocean warming -
-
24 Apr 2003: Mike's idea to get editorial board members to resign will probably not
work -
-
27 Sep 2009: So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC, then this
would be significant for the global mean -
I've chosen 0.15 here deliberately. This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these). When you look at other blips, the land blips are
1.5 to 2 times (roughly) the ocean blips -

Oct 14, 2009: ...there have been a number of dishonest presentations of model results by individual authors and by IPCC. (1255553034.txt)

09 Oct 2009: I'm really sorry that you have to go through all this stuff, Phil. Next time I see Pat Michaels at a scientific meeting, I'll be tempted to beat the crap out of him. Very tempted. (1255100876.txt)
Keith Briffa
Lead author for Ch 6 of the 4th UN IPCC report on climate change, AR4
Apr 29, 2007: I tried hard to balance the needs of the science and the IPCC , which were not always the same. I worried that you might think I gave the impression of not supporting you well enough while trying to report on the issues and uncertainties . (1177890796.txt)
-
Sep 22, 1999: I know there is pressure to present a nice tidy story as regards 'apparent unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data' but in reality the situation is not quite so simple. We don't have a lot of proxies that come right up to date and those that do (at least a significant number of tree proxies ) some unexpected changes in response that do not match the recent warming. (0938031546.txt)
Note: There is that troublesome decline again, that needed to be hidden.
Sep 22, 1999: I believe that the recent warmth was probably matched about 1000 years ago. I do not believe that global mean annual temperatures have simply cooled progressively over thousands of years... (0938031546.txt)

6/4/03: I got a paper to review (...) that claims that the method of reconstruction that we use in dendroclimatology (reverse regression) is wrong, biased, lousy, horrible, etc. (...) If published as is, this paper could really do some damage. (1054756929.txt)

Also, it is important for us if you can transfer the ADVANCE money on the personal accounts which we gave you earlier and the sum for one occasion transfer (for example, during one day) will not be more than 10,000 USD. Only in this case we can avoid big taxes and use money for our work as much as possible.

NOAA want to give us more money for the El Nino work with IGCN. How much do we have left from the last budget? I reckon most has been spent but we need to show some left to cover the costs of the trip Roger didn't make and also the fees/equipment/computer money we haven't spent otherwise NOAA will be suspicious. Politically this money may have to go through Simon's institute but there overhead rate is high so maybe not!
Hiding information

Anyway, I wanted you guys to know that you're free to use RC in any way you think would be helpful. Gavin and I are going to be careful about what comments we screen through, and we'll be very careful to answer any questions that come up to any extent we can. On the other hand, you might want to visit the thread and post replies yourself. We can hold comments up in the queue and contact you about whether or not you think they should be screened through or not, and if so, any comments you'd like us to include.

If you think that Saiers is in the greenhouse skeptics camp, then, if we can find documentary evidence of this, we could go through official AGU channels to get him ousted.
From: Phil Jones, Date: Fri Aug 13 13:38:32 2004
I'd rather you didn't. I think it should be sufficient to forward the para from Andrew Conrie's email that says the paper has been rejected by all 3 reviewers. You can say that the paper was an extended and updated version of that which appeared in CR. Obviously, under no circumstances should any of this get back to Pielke.
