Default [OT] How science is not done

Professor Phil Jones, the activist-scientist who maintains the data
set, has cited various reasons for refusing to release the raw data.
Most famously, Jones told an Australian climate scientist in 2004:
"Even if WMO agrees, I will still not pass on the data. We have 25 or
so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to
you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it."

"Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try
and find something wrong with it."

Phil Jones does /not/ know how science works.


Grant funding demands observation validate theory, science demands
observation challenge theory. The Church is winning not by inflicting
its dogma but by impressing its methods.

Management is about process not product. Freedom is compliance.
