Climatic Research Unit Data Loss Scandal

The Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia is reported to have lost or destroyed the original raw data used for global temperature records. In response to Freedom of Information requests, the unit claimed it only possesses "homogenized" or manipulated data because it lacked storage resources in the 1980s. The hosts highlight this as a major blow to the credibility of the scientific consensus on warming.

Climatic Research Unit, Global Warming Data Loss

The Climatic Research Unit (CRU) admitted it no longer holds the original raw data used to create global surface temperature records cited by the IPCC.
