The details are on the last three days of Steve McIntyre’s site Climate Audit, and summed up beautifully on Watts Up. The sheer effrontery and gall appears to be breathtaking.
The Briffa temperature graphs have been widely cited as evidence by the IPCC, yet it appears they were based on a very carefully selected set of data, so select, that the shape of the graph would have been totally transformed if the rest of the data had been included.
Kieth Briffa used 12 samples to arrive at his version of the hockey stick and refused to provide his data for years. When McIntyre finally got hold of it, and looked at the 34 samples that Briffa left out of his graphs, a stark message was displayed. McIntyre describes it today as one of the most disquieting images he’s ever presented.
One for your list...
Global Warming is as American as cherry pie.
The reason why publishing all of your data and allowing others to repeat your experiments is because science has a long history of cherry picked or just manufactured data. Every one who remembers throwing out the experimental data and just copying results from the textbook (with a little error added in to hide obvious straight lines) in high school chemistry can understand the need of allowing everyone to see the raw data and duplicate tests.
This lying has to be money driven. These scientists are lying to protect permanent grants from the Feds. These scientists are bums who are too lazy to make money honestly
These scientists have permanent franchises so long as they toe the line for global warming

It used to be called "GIGO" where computers were involved, but that implies inexperience or incompetence.
What we have here is deliberate and agenda-driven, and has absolutely nothing to do with science.
Having said that, the sheer arrogance of some ignoramuses comes to the fore.
Sea levels have fallen and risen dozens of times in the earth's history, each half cycle lasting tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
Than humanity should, or even can, "reverse" or "prevent" it is the hallmark of extreme stupidity or incompetence.
The best humanity can hope for is the proven ability to adapt, not to use natural processes to advance political demagoguery, witchcraft or redistribution of world wealth.
