Climate scientist Phil Jones in Feb. 2005:

‘We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?’

'The two MMs have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I’ll delete the file rather than send to anyone.'

You can say what you want about the antagonistic nature of climate science (the pro-AGW site skeptical science excuses the above quotes on that basis), but I think science flourishes best when opposing viewpoints are vigorously but truthfully defended.

I find the above quotations inexcusable.
