MUST SEE: Climate Sceptics or Climate Realists? by 21stCenturyWireTV | Climate Realists

 From Jerry Pournelle
...I propose that given the enormous economic importance of climate trends, the IPCC should publish all the raw data: uncorrected, not homogenized, just the numbers you'd get if you went out on the porch and read the thermometer (or dropped your thermocouple over the side of a boat, or whatever it is they do to get the numbers); and also publish the corresponding "corrected" or "homogenized" number that is fed into the models. That's publishing a few gigabytes of data per year, or some 10 megabytes a day. Let everyone on earth look at the data, and do things like calculate differences between raw and corrected data. We can all look at the trends and differences.

Given the trillions at stake the costs of doing this are trivial. I doubt that it will be done, but shouldn't it be?

As American public sentiment and congressional will to combat global warming wane, climate zealots' strong-arm tactics ratchet up.
Global weather dataset being systematically corrupted
For the past six days, several climate scientists have discovered an alarming trend: clear evidence of alteration of historical data at weather stations around the world, in order to support the contention of anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
Climategate Stonewallers: As Exposed as Tiger Woods, but Without Any Show of Repentance
Climategate exposed some widely respected academic defenders of global warming as intellectual imposters and data-fakers. Their peers, who have relied on their faked data, are now trapped. They don't know what to do. If they admit that the data really were faked and that opposing views have been shut out of peer-reviewed journals, they inescapably also admit that theit case is weak and that they were taken in by charlatans. On the other hand, if they defend these people, they look either like charlatans or easily deceived intellectual lightweights. What's a global warmer to do? Here are two fine examples.
