"You misunderstand basic time averaging and the problems of proxies"
Nope, the actual data is the one thing I haven't looked at. Because my studies of science haven't sufficiently educated me in that area and I know I'm not qualified (ask me to, say, visualize a molecule in 3D, that's another thing). But I am qualified to understand a programmer's tribulations, having been paid good money to do "software archaeology", and most certainly am qualified to interpret overt conspiracies to keep people from being published, or to get their community to shun a journal that did publish a paper with thoughtcrime.
I have no idea who came up with the name ClimateGate, but seeing as how I was political aware when the Watergate break in happened, and followed the drama to the bitter end, I know that [Fill in the blank]Gate is an automatic, if not the default US naming scheme for scandals. If that makes me influenced by the GOP, by Richard Milhous Nixon no less, so be it!
And again you demonstrate how the GOP lives rent free in your brain, for you cannot even conceive of someone saying what I do from first principles vs. "just regurgitating GOP talking points" and lying about it all.

Then you've misinterpreted this, and have done so in precisely the same way the GOP did, even using their word.

You're either lying or dense.

No, I just refuse to believe that someone would independently reinvent everything the GOP has come up with entirely on their own, and then parade their conclusions around using all the same talking points and words, without being influenced by the GOP.
It's like someone claiming they independently wrote Hamlet. Word for word. Without having read Shakespeare. It just beggars belief.
