Climate Audit and NOAA FOI Policy

Climate Audit - by Steve McIntyre » Climate Audit and NOAA FOI Policy

For some reason, Michael Tobis seems to think that the Team is busy cranking out responses to an endless stream of my data requests. Nothing could be further from the truth. For me, getting data from the Team is no easier than posting at realclimate. At this point, it seems to be Team policy to simply not provide any data to me. So it doesn’t take them any time at all.

I racked my brains trying to think of whether I got any data from the Team last year (and by Team here, I mean the core Hockey Team, not the IPCC). The only thing that I could think of was the list of stations used in Jones et al 1990, which was eventually provided under a UK FOI request. I encountered an interesting little back story about this request today...
