At the risk of further derailing this thread, there was nothing wrong with the content of the climategate emails, other than poor choice of words - a poor choice of words that were all too easy to take out of context.



Someone said something along the lines of "I'm not giving you the data because you'll try to poke holes in it" as a FOIA request answer.

How is this OK?


That doesn't relate to the actual content of the emails or data. Although I agree that they dealed with the FOI requests poorly.


Really? There is 'literally nothing wrong' with stonewalling FOI requests, stacking peer review to prevent opposing scientists from publishing, or splicing temperature data onto the end of a proxy chart to hide the fact the proxy is diverging?

Ok then.
