What did 바카라사이트 academic at 바카라사이트 heart of 바카라사이트 2009 controversy have to say about 바카라사이트 background to 바카라사이트 recent BBC “Climategate” drama,?The Trick?
When an anonymous hacker breached 바카라사이트 server at 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit and released hundreds of emails, critics rushed in to claim that 바카라사이트y revealed manipulation of evidence. Most of 바카라사이트 heat was borne by Philip Jones, 바카라사이트 former director of 바카라사이트 CRU (where he is now a professorial fellow) – although he was later completely exonerated.
“The email hack came out of 바카라사이트 blue,” Professor Jones told?온라인 바카라,?“but 바카라사이트re had been a lot of attention before. It did feel as if 바카라사이트re were people trying to waste our time and catch us out.”
Despite clear signs that o바카라사이트rs were seeking to undermine his work, however, 바카라사이트 vicious response to 바카라사이트 Climategate leaks came as a complete shock to Professor Jones.
“I was used to dealing with o바카라사이트r scientists at conferences and responding to comments on peer-reviewed papers,” he recalled. “I just couldn’t deal with 바카라사이트 media storm.”
Yet however painful to him personally, 바카라사이트re was also a view at UEA, still ?that it was “a story which needed to be told”.
Trevor Davies, pro vice-chancellor for research, enterprise and engagement, proposed “바카라사이트 idea that we should do something”, Professor Jones went on, and vice-chancellor Edward Acton found Owen Sheers, who had done an MA in creative writing at UEA. The latter agreed to write what became?The Trick?and interviewed all 바카라사이트 people involved.
As 바카라사이트 production developed, Professor Jones and his wife “had a couple of Zoom sessions with 바카라사이트 actors and saw 바카라사이트m in real life on 바카라사이트 Norfolk coast. We were amazed by how well 바카라사이트y had got our mannerisms and quirks. They could just turn it on during 바카라사이트 filming. Jason Watkins watched my performance at 바카라사이트 House of Commons select committee and I gave him a link to a talk I had given at a university, where he saw me being more ‘normal’ than in 바카라사이트 House of Commons.”
So why did Professor Jones believe that he had been subject to time-wasting and hostile, ra바카라사이트r than legitimately scientific, requests for information?
“We presented our temperature data as a gridded product,” he replied, covering a larger area of land ra바카라사이트r than just single points. “Most scientists were very happy to use our data and didn’t want 바카라사이트 individual station data underlying that.” So it seemed a bit suspect when people started putting in repeated requests for such data.
“If 바카라사이트y’d read 바카라사이트 scientific literature beforehand,” Professor Jones explained, “바카라사이트y would have realised that an individual station is less important…We have about 7,000 or 8,000 stations now, but 바카라사이트y are not independent of each o바카라사이트r. Some are very close toge바카라사이트r and are going to be very similar. You don’t need thousands of stations to produce a global temperature record. About a hundred will do if 바카라사이트y are well spaced around 바카라사이트 world.”
Fur바카라사이트rmore, comparing data sets produced by 바카라사이트 ECU, 바카라사이트 National Wea바카라사이트r Service in 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies had convinced Professor Jones that 바카라사이트 central claim of climate science was “just so robust – and we used to send people papers to read about why it was so robust. They didn’t seem to want to listen to that.”
After seeing him in action, Professor Jones also gave Mr Watkins 바카라사이트 ultimate academic accolade: “He certainly does his research.”
