Out of the Mouths of Babes/Mean-Spirited SOBs/Cheaters

"Leave it to you to delete as appropriate."......"We will keep them out somehow - even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"......"Don't any of you tell anybody that the U.K. has a freedom of information act."......"I've just completed Mike's nature trick of adding in the real temps to end series for the past 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onward) and from 1961 for Keith to hide the decline."......"About two months ago, I deleted loads of emails, so have very little, if anything at all."......Phil Jones, University of East Anglia..................."I'll maybe cut the last few points off the filtered curve before I give the talk again as that's trending down as a result of the end-effects and the recent coldish years."......Mick Kelly, University of East Anglia..................."So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 15 degrees Celsius, then this would be significant for the global mean - but we'd still have to explain the blip."......"It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip, but we are still left with 'why the blip'? Let me go further."......"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 A.G.U. channels to get him ousted."......"Perhaps the University of Wisconsin ought to open up a public comment period to decide whether Pat Michaels' PhD needs reassessing."......"Land warming since 1980 has been twice the ocean warming and skeptics might claim that this proves that urban warming is real and important."......Thomas Wigley, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research..................."We are nowhere close to knowing where energy is going or whether clouds are changing to make the planet brighter. We are not close to balancing the energy budget."......"The fact that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't."......Kevin Trenberth, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research..................."We should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers in, this journal ('Climate Research' - ostensibly for publishing articles by skeptics)."......"Gavin and I are going to be careful about what comments we screen through. We can hold up comments in the queue and contact you about whether or not you think they should be screened or not."......Michael Mann, Pennsylvania State University..................."I will continue to refuse such data requests in the future. Nor will I provide McIntyre with computer programs, email correspondence, etc.."......Thomas Karl, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...................Nah, there's nothing going on with this Climategate thing. Nothing, nothing at all....It's a blip, as one of the above fellows stated.
