“Everyone is in favor of free speech… but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.” ― Winston Churchill
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. -Matthew 13:10
If you ask a scientist for the data upon which he bases his theory and you are told, “You are not meant to know the mysteries,” someone is not practicing science. Some anthropogenic climate change acolytes practice science with all the rigor of Fleischmann and Pons. Fleischmann and Pons did better though, they released their data almost immediately.
The credibility of the Hockey Stick graph seems to depend on hiding the data. This does serious damage to the theory and to the scientists. One would think scientists considered reputation to be more important than theory. Oh, wait, they do.
