Where’s the data?
Now that The Other McCain has kicked off climate gate parodies, I present my humble offering:
Dr. C: So, before we go to the climate conference, are you going to tell me about the climate change data?
Dr. A: Of course, of course. If I tell you about the data, will you quit bothering me?
Dr. C: Yes, I’m just really into global warming and I want to know all about the data.
Dr. A: Alright, Alright. I’ll tell you about the adjusted data.
Dr. C: The adjusted data? What about the initial data?
Dr. A: We adjusted it.
Dr. C: Can I see the initial data?
Dr. A: There is no initial data.
Dr. C: But you just said this was adjusted data.
Dr. A: It is.
Dr. C: So what was it adjusted from?
Dr. A: The data.
Dr. C: So where’s that data?
Dr. A: What data?
Dr. C: The data you adjusted!
Dr. A: Oh…you mean the data we adjusted?
Dr. C: That’s what I’m asking, where’s the data you adjusted!
Dr. A: We adjusted it.
Dr. C (flabbergasted and confused): You have some adjusted data, right?
Dr. A: Right
Dr. C: You had some other data before you adjusted it, right?
Dr. A: Right.
Dr. C: So where’s the data, what was the data, before you adjusted it to the adjusted data?
Dr. A: We adjusted it.
Dr. C: So if I want to see the data, what was the data before you adjusted the data…where do I go to see that?
Dr. A: To see what?
Dr. C: The data.
Dr. A: What data?
Dr. C: The unadjusted data.
Dr. A: You can’t.
Dr. C: Why not?
Dr. A and Dr. C together: Its been adjusted.
Dr. C: So this is the data?
Dr. A: That’s all of it.
Dr. C: There’s no other data?
Dr. A: None that matters.
Dr. C: So this data used to be different?
Dr. A: Of course.
Dr. C: So where’s that data?
Dr. A: That data is this data.
Dr. C: So there is no that data?
Dr. A: That’s right, only this data.
Dr. C: So what happened to that data?
Dr. A and Dr. C together: Its been adjusted.
Not nearly as good as the original but you can only expect so much from the staff around here. Maybe with some donations I could hire a decent writer.
IMAO has unconvered some incrminating excerpts from climategate e-mails that have yet to be published elsewhere
