Mea Culpa?

SEE HERE This piece from Newsweek is the kind of irrational reporting that annoys me to hell. Why? Well they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. In the face of the revelations about cooked science the climate alarmist crowd are being fried. But this piece in Newsweek has as a subtext the idea that they're really right it's all a public relations problem. One phrase that annoyed me to death was: " Climate science, they say, needs to open its books and be more tolerant of scrutiny from the outside."

Hello!! Calling earth!! Science isn't science if the books aren't open. It is bad science to just publish the results without making the data available. Science is about confirmation of results and entirely too many scientists play close to their chest with the data. That's what has to change. It isn't science if the data isn't make available so that those who doubt the results can confirm them.
