ClimateGate: East Anglia University Statement...

Here's the updated statement from East Anglia University (home of the CRU).  Most of it is defensive, of course.  There are several explicit denials about the significance of anything revealed in the ClimateGate trove. 

But most interesting to me are the two graphs at the bottom of the page.  The top graph is the famous “hockey stick” graph, showing precipitous rises in measured and modeled temperatures.  This is the graph that was published in the IPCC reports, and has been used very widely by AGW promoters.  The bottom graph is the same data, but “uncorrected”.  In other words, the raw data with no fudge factors and no tricks. 

Those two graphs tell one of the essential revelations of ClimateGate, and here, for the very first time, the CRU is 'fessing up. 

I suspect we'll be seeing more like this.
