Declan McCullagh examines the CRU leaked documents. He examine in depth the efforts of “Harry the programmer” who is stuck with the un-envious task of trying to fix a temperature database. It’s great reading so make the visit.
What I like most is Decan’s conclusion which matches my Open Source posting of yesterday…
The irony of this situation is that most of us expect science to be conducted in the open, without unpublished secret data, hidden agendas, and computer programs of dubious reliability. East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit might have avoided this snafu by publicly disclosing as much as possible at every step of the way.
