Why isn't the Hadley CRU data available to everyone?

Because much of the original data were discarded (beware line wrap):

"They have come up with every possible excuse for concealing the
background data on which their findings and temperature records were
based.

"This in itself has become a major scandal, not least Dr Jones's
refusal to release the basic data from which the CRU derives its
hugely influential temperature record, which culminated last summer in
his startling claim that much of the data from all over the world had
simply got "lost". Most incriminating of all are the emails in which
scientists are advised to delete large chunks of data, which, when
this is done after receipt of a freedom of information request, is a
criminal offence. "

Only the reduced data are left (think "hockey stick" and Hansen's
GISS), and that's only available because of Liberal-backed Freedom Of
Information laws designed to prevent government agencies from "keeping
the truth from the people". Talk about unintended consequences...

The problem isn't
the quality of the data, but the interpretation of the data.

Apparently, the computer code for the climate models is so poorly
documented that it is difficult to assess the validity of the output.

"What is tragically evident from the Harry Read Me file is the
picture it gives of the CRU scientists hopelessly at sea with the
complex computer programmes they had devised to contort their data in
the approved direction, more than once expressing their own
desperation at how difficult it was to get the desired results. "

*Stealing e-mails is not the same thing.

ITYM "whistle-blowing".

AGW isn't science, it's pure polemics.
