AL GORE JUST STARTED BURROWING UNDERGROUND FASTER

And you thought Climategate was bad. When tens of thousands of emails implicating the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) went viral last November, the fraud that is man-made global warming was exposed - that is, everywhere except in American mainstream media outlets. The British media was all over it. Al Gore burrowed underground, like a gopher being chased by Bill Murray.

Now we learn thanks to emails obtained from NASA that CRU's American counterparts made East Anglia look like a beacon of facts and truth.

Via Fox News:

NASA was able to put a man on the moon, but the space agency can't tell you what the temperature was when it did. By its own admission, NASA's temperature records are in even worse shape than the besmirched Climate-gate data.

E-mail messages obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that NASA concluded that its own climate findings were inferior to those maintained by both the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) -- the scandalized source of the leaked Climate-gate e-mails -- and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center.

The e-mails from 2007 reveal that when a USA Today reporter asked if NASA's data "was more accurate" than other climate-change data sets, NASA's Dr. Reto A. Ruedy replied with an unequivocal no. He said "the National Climatic Data Center's procedure of only using the best stations is more accurate," admitting that some of his own procedures led to less accurate readings.

Is it over-simplifying things to make the claim that NASA considered its records inferior to those of an outfit in Great Britain whose most notorious professor once used the phrase, "hide the decline" when referring to climate data?
