Oh Ford, not more bloody climategate stuff. Flagged.
Note that "the Russians" means "a right-wing think tank in Russia". Which is not what anyone would think from reading the headline or any bit of Delingpole's article other than the one sentence in which he says which Russians he has in mind.
Note also that, prima facie at least, there is at least one obvious candidate explanation for lots of Russian temperature data not being used in the CRU dataset; see the section on "Russian temperatures" at http://www.john-daly.com/graytemp/surftemp.htm and note that the author of that page does not believe in AGW and therefore isn't likely to be preemptively covering up for the CRU.
Note also that Delingpole is not any sort of scientist.
I would say "note also that Delingpole's past writings on global warming are totally full of shit", but that would be rude and I'm a very polite chap so I won't.
