And now, NASA will be sued under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI), for its data (know as the GISS).
“Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said NASA has refused for two years to provide information under the Freedom of Information Act that would show how the agency has shaped its climate data and would explain why the agency has repeatedly had to correct its data going as far back as the 1930s.”
(See: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/03/researcher-says-nasa-hiding-climate-data/ )
Under FOI, NASA had 20 days to respond. They have not. They say that they are trying to get the data together.
I did my geophysical research over twenty years ago (also in FORTRAN code). If you asked for my raw and processed data and code, my University could have the files ready for you to download within a couple of days. If not, I have electronic copies. And, unlike Obama, you can walk into my university’s library and pull my thesis off the shelf and read it.
The taxpayers paid for the collection, processing, and analysis of the GISS. University of Alabama - Huntsville has conducted independent research that contradicts the NASA GISS results. Not to worry, the scientific method, the standard for scientific research, provides that scientists must make available their data and code that support their results. UAH's data and code are available.
One wonders why NASA is dithering. I think maybe another house of cards is about to tumble.
