Temperature Data Wants To Be Free

An anonymous reader writes "The UK's Met Office Hadley Centre and University of East Anglia have been refusing access to the data used for their global climate averages and scientific studies. A copy of the data has leaked, and attempts continue to accomplish the release of the data by whoever maintains it. Excuses have included confidentiality agreements which cannot be verified because no records were kept, mention of the source has been removed from the Met Office web site, and IPCC records were destroyed."

Uh huh... got anything... peer reviewed?

If this guy is for real, I hope he carries on and gets the fame and fortune he's due. But that's going to take proving his hypothesis to the real skeptics--- scientists. Best of luck to him.

In any case, yes, global temperature is a control on oceanic cycles. It also is probably a system with feedback loop. That doesn't do anything to disprove my assertions, however.
