University of East Anglia U-turn in climate change row Leading British scientists at the University of East Anglia, who were accused of manipulating climate change data, have agreed to publish their figures in full.

David Holland is seeking prosecutions against some of Britain's most eminent academics for allegedly holding back information in breach of disclosure laws.
The U-turn by the university follows a week of controversy after the emergence of hundreds of leaked emails, "stolen" by hackers and published online, triggered claims that the academics had massaged statistics.
In a statement welcomed by climate change sceptics, the university said it would make all the data accessible as soon as possible, once its Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had negotiated its release from a range of non-publication agreements.
The publication will be carried out in collaboration with the Met Office Hadley Centre. The full data, when disclosed, is certain to be scrutinised by both sides in the fierce debate.
A grandfather with a training in electrical engineering dating back more than 40 years emerged from the leaked emails as a leading climate sceptic trying to bring down the scientific establishment on global warming.
David Holland, who describes himself as a David taking on the Goliath that is the prevailing scientific consensus, is seeking prosecutions against some of Britain's most eminent academics for allegedly holding back information in breach of disclosure laws.
Mr Holland, of Northampton, complained to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) last week after the leaked emails included several Freedom of Information requests he had submitted to the CRU, and scientists' private responses to them.

I wouldn't trust either organization with determining day versus night.
Raw data, or lightly cooked?
I’m with you. Anything they release ain’t worth spit.
Which should have been happening all along.
Hey, stop denigrating spit!
“University of East Anglia U-turn in climate change row [agreed to publish their figures in full..]”
LOL...as if you could believe anything coming from these hacks.
He added: "These guys called climate scientists have not done any more physics or chemistry than I did. A lifetime in engineering gives you a very good antenna. It also cures people of any self belief they cannot be wrong. You clear up a lot of messes during a lifetime in engineering. I could be wrong on global warming – I know that – but the guys on the other side don't believe they can ever be wrong."
I LOVE this guy! Carry on Mr. Holland.
And of note is that we are reading about this in a UK newspaper instead of a US Dinosaur Media publication.
bump- but I wouldn’t trust ANYTHING ANYONE at CRU has to say ever again- they’ve proven themselves to be liars of the lowest order- they have probably already deleted ALL the incriminating emails and data, and goen to lengths to cover-up the code which was set to dissallow any refuting results
” the university said it would make all the data accessible as soon as possible, once its Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had negotiated its release from a range of non-publication agreements.”
Let’s see if I understand this - they will release the data 1) when hell freezes over, or, 2) when they are fully confident that their fake but true data is internally consistent enough not to be easily found out, or, 3) never because the non-publication agreements are with other fraudsters who will, of course, not agree to releasing the data.
This tepid report from the NYT reporting calls for “changes in climate research,” but no serious coverage on the fraud from MSM yet-—no doubt, for fear of disturbing the Copenhagen global heist. Facts and fraud be damned, Copenhagen is proceeding full throttle.

Contracts with whom??
Using taxpayer funded grants for scientific inquiry and subject to FOI - WTF??????
I wonder who the “hacker” will turn out to be?
This bunch should take up printing couterfeit bills. Cut out the need to make stuff up - just print money and stop the nonsense.
For REAL scientists, releasing the data should have been the FIRST thing they did, not the last!
