Surely, in order to assess the impact of putative climate change upon a business, it is necessary to have access to reliable data, rather than falsified data or data which has been corrupted by people who have manipulated it in some untransparent and perhaps incorrect manner. Could any company demand access to all original, uncorrected temperature and proxy temperature data, in order to fulfill their obligation to assess the impact upon their busuness, of climate change, rather than potentially mislead their shareholders and other interested parties, by knowingly produucing assessments which are based upon data which has already been proven to be unreliable, or deliberately falsified.
If a company produced its assessment using data provided by individuals or agencies whose data is already proven to be unreliable, surely the assessment would fail to qualify under rules of due diligence and the company could face legal action from any potentially adversely affected party.
