That is what the Royal Society panel assigned to look into the climate

were guilty of was sloppy record keeping but not bad science.

Sloppy record keeping IS bad science.

Have Parakeet tell that to, um...(oh, who's the guy at CRU who stepped
down?) Phil Jones, who admitted to manipulating (falsifying) climate
data. "Lost" is data supporting CRU theories of global warming. Who
could have guessed that might happen? He's no scientist; he's a
freakin' politician who got caught and AFAIK, isn't in prison for it,
either.
