Re: [PLUG] Wanted: volunteers with bandwidth, storage, coding skills to help save climate data

["Eric H. Johnson" <ejohnson@camalytics.com>]

That fear shows a clear misunderstanding of the skeptics arguments. There
would be no benefit in destroying that data because the skeptics do not
dispute it, in fact they use that very data to make their case. The dispute
is in the climate models, particularly in the magnitude of feedback and the
failure to include many other factors in the models, most importantly, solar
activity and cosmic radiation. 

Given climategate, it seems the alarmists are the ones more determined to
hide evidence since they seem to be reduced to the single argument of "a
consensus of scientists say...".

NB: I did not vote for Trump either.

If you have an interest in preserving a lot of scientific research data:

	Scientists are frantically copying U.S. climate data, fearing it
might vanish under Trump

I've set up a mailing list to coordinate IT efforts to help out. 
Signup via climatedata-request@firemountain.net or, if you prefer Mailman's
