Here is the most recent sign that that data is 'cooked'. On Tuesday, the Moscow based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) issued a report claiming that the Hadley Center for Climate Change based at the headquarters of the British Meteorological Office in Exeter (Devon, England) had probably tampered with Russian-climate data... Over 40% of Russian territory was not included in global-temperature calculations for unknown reasons, rather than the lack of meteorological stations and observations, according to the IEA. http://global-warming.accuweather.com/2009/12/was_russian_climate_data_tampe.html http://global-warming.accuweather.com/2009/12/was_russian_cl...

Believe what you want to believe. Since you are jumping to conclusions, I don't think discussion would make sense. The fact remains that the data set has been published openly. If it is cooked, everybody is free to point it out. I hope the IEA has published the missing data from the Russian territory? Then it should be a simple matter of another Perl script to complete the data. Problem solved. If you have a link to the missing data, please provide it. However, I don't think such a data set should just be used as a proof for anything. The perl script in the article her was an interesting play, but I don't think the person who wrote it is a climate researcher. He is just some guy visualizing some data that was floating around. The interpretation is another matter.
