Phil Jones' Climatic Research Unit isn't the only centre of the warming
faith to refuse to share its data for checking:
Today, on behalf of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, I filed three
Notices of Intent to File Suit against NASA and its Goddard Institute for
Space Studies (GISS), for those bodies' refusal - for nearly three years -
to provide documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act.
Chris Horner details the three sets of documents he's trying to wrest from
another climate centre that's into political activism as much as it's into
science:
"- internal discussions about NASA's quiet correction of its false
historical US temperature records after two Canadian researchers discovered
a key statistical error, specifically discussion about whether and why to
correct certain records, how to do so, the impact or wisdom or potential (or
real) fallout therefrom or reaction to doing so (requested August 2007); "
- internal discussions relating to the emails sent to James Hansen and/or
Reto A. Ruedy from Canadian statistician Steve McIntyre calling their
attention to the errors in NASA/GISS online temperature data (August 2007);
"- those relating to the content, importance or propriety of workday-hour
posts or entries by GISS/NASA employee Gavin A. Schmidt on the weblog or
"blog" RealClimate, which is owned by the advocacy Environmental Media
Services and was started as an effort to defend the debunked "Hockey Stick"
that is so central to the CRU files. RealClimate.org is implicated in the
leaked files, expressly offered as a tool to be used "in any way you think
would be helpful" to a certain advocacy campaign, including an assertion of
Schmidt's active involvement in, e.g., delaying and/or screening out
unhelpful input by "skeptics" attempting to comment on claims made on the
website. "
"This and the related political activism engaged in are inappropriate
behavior for a taxpayer-funded employee, particularly on taxpayer time.
These documents were requested in January 2007 and NASA/GISS have refused to
date to comply with their legal obligation to produce responsive documents"

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
