What's your point? The main issue is that Dr. Jones was not changing the data, just the presentation. This is to be frowned on, as Nate Silver said. However, claiming this email proves that global climate change is some international conspiracy among liberal scientists requires derangement on a really impressive level.

Anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together would realize that what I'm asking for is an analysis of WHAT was changed and how so. What data points and numbers were changed? Silver just claims the presentation was being sexed up, without mentioning WHAT was altered and in exactly what manner. Was any underlying data changed? And, even if no, even sexing up a graph is a big-f--king-deal, since that's the kind of junk the media and bureaucrats love to look at anyway.

I suspect he is hoping the rest of us will stop asking questions and 'just take his word for it.' He's gonna need a lot more than eight short paragraphs to explain why if he wants that to happen.
