The archival data will not be completely transcribed into the digital database until at least 2041.They've been working continuously on this since the 1990s.
Everyone is operating at a data deficit,including Scott Adams.
*There are paper ships logs from a number of nations showing up from warehouses,basements,personal libraries.
*Colonial records on paper for Asia,Africa,America,etc..
*Early satellite meteorological data on magnetic tape.
*Declassified UK NAVY surface ship and submarine records.

*ditto,US NAVY
*Great fortunes in money and man-hours are being consumed to get these materials into usable form,so they may be inputted into the general circulation models.
*And there's been 'interference' with accomplishing the task because of the policy implications of what will come out of the data.
The attack dogs need to cool it.It's intellectual dishonesty.
