<div>The article from April 1, 2010, at the website first below is in German, but the quote below is translated from the article, and the graph from the article, comparing 5 temperature data sets (Hadley, GISS, UAH, RSS, NOAA/NCDC), perhaps does not require translation. </div>

<div>Rahmstorf indicates that he "never worked" with Phil Jones' data (Phil Jones of the Climatic Research Unit of East Anglia University, whose e-mails were criminally hacked resulting in a media frenzy of exaggerations and distortions regarding climate science and scientists), refuting the claim that "the entire profession" of climate science "based much of its work on his [Jones'] research"...</div>

<div>Translated quote from article:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>According to DER SPIEGEL “the entire profession” of climate science “based much of its work on his [Jones'] research” and “almost every internal debate among the climate popes passed through his computer”. Now it happens that I, most likely not an untypical example, have never worked with Jones’ data and have only exchanged a handful of emails (out of tens of thousands every year) with him, although I do probably count as part of the “profession”. There is a whole set of other data of global temperature, e.g. the data from <a href="http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt"><font color="#335522">NASA </font></a>which is based on weather stations (and which I prefer <a href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/10/a-warming-pause/"><font color="#335522">for various reasons</font></a>) or data from <a href="ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/anomalies/annual.land_ocean.90S.90N.df_1901-2000mean.dat"><font color="#66aa55">NOAA </font></a>or the satellite data from <a href="http://www.remss.com/data/msu/monthly_time_series/RSS_Monthly_MSU_AMSU_Channel_TLT_Anomalies_Land_and_Ocean_v03_2.txt"><font color="#66aa55">RSS </font></a>or the <a href="http://vortex.nsstc.uah.edu/public/msu/t2lt/tltglhmam_5.3"><font color="#335522">UAH</font></a>. As is always scientifically useful, important conclusions are based not on one single set of data but on the fact that a whole range of competing scientific groups find consistent results, using different methods (see Figure).</div>
