Au contraire, T8 - doing the test that disproves the theory is THE
gold standard of science.

What you're seeking, with your demand for raw data and source code, is
merely an opportunity to cherry pick to enable you to ridicule - you
don't want to contribute. Why would any sane person indulge you?
Especially when it's clear that you have no respect for researchers
(you wrote "at least I haven't spent an entire career living at
taxpayer expense").

If by some slim chance you're serious, the data you seek isn't limited
to the UK at CRU - almost all developed nations have it. Swallow the
attitude, make friends at some place like NCAR, prove you're sincere
rather than on some preverted crusade, and you might get enlightened.

John C and Tom G, you two set an appallingly low standard of proof for

and a sound basis for worldwide policies costing in the $trillions.
My opinion, shared by others. My mind remains quite open, though I
don't think I could possibly convince you of that. I observe that to
skeptics, you appear rather closed minded yourselves. Jack up the
standard of proof, show the (raw) data, show the source codes, let the
skeptics do their best to tear it up.
