Climate Unit Releases Virtually All Remaining Data

mutube writes "The BBC is reporting that the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit, target of 'ClimateGate,' has released nearly all its remaining data on temperature measurements following a freedom of information bid. Most temperature data was already available, but critics of climate science want everything public. Following the latest release, raw data from virtually all of the world's 5,000-plus weather stations is freely available. Release of this dataset required The Met Office to secure approval from more than 1,500 weather stations around the world. The article notes that while Trinidad and Tobago refused permission, the Information Commissioner ruled that public interest in disclosure outweighed those considerations."

But it *is* denial, of the pathological kind.

I know it is polite and all to be nice to people, but we are dealing with psychosis here, and a lot is at stake.

One common crooked arguing technique is to jump around from point to point, never stopping long enough to conceed that anything is wrong. Using this technique, a denialist can cover enough ground to make it /seem/ like that are correct, when in fact, almost everything they say is garbage.

Your comment is a perfect case in point. We were talking about UEA data not being what scientists say it is. Your proof? Something that you heard from Watts about /different/ data.

*Every* denialist argument has already been responded to -- many of the over a *decade* ago. But with ears fully shut, denialists just keep spinning new thoughts about how they are "correct". This is the natural human mechanisms of pathological denial.

I could show that you are wrong about the "single" yamal bristlecone canard, but the my understanding of the human condition is that that would be pointless.

As for James Speed an his Sheep hypothesis -- that was only just published, so I will be waiting to see how the story develops. Somehow I think you already have you mind made up -- you have found your silver bullet that destroys evidence in 1000s of papers.
