"Apparently many of the statistics had been "manipulated".
Does the phrase "out of context" ring any bells?

**THE** statistics? I just 30 min. ago saw in interview with a climate scientist who explained that the most quoted set of emails... the ones that seem to expose wholesale deceptive manipulation of data, were in fact talking ONLY about studies of trees in Siberia! They were discussing (if I understood it correctly)how to re-state data in order to use it for different purposes...not to 'deceive' the general public!

   Now... IF that is true, and IF releasing all the emails would clarify the matter, I would hope we could learn something about not assuming too much about damning 'disclosures' which appear right before some major event... like Copenhagen.


I am searching and watching to try to find out more details.
