David Walters asserted:

The data and its explanations are readily available to ANYONE who wishes to see them.

Non sequitur. It does not follow from the fact that SOME explanations for adjustments are posted on a GISS website that this necessarily means that ALL the explanations are posted. Nor does it follow from the fact that SOME explanations are posted that this is the procedure they actually follow.

GISS is run by James Hanson. Hanson is on record in an English court of law that he is in favor of the destruction the private property of utility companies — destruction to be accomplished by any “concerned citizenry” without due process of law or any involvment of government — if said destruction will stop CO2 emissions.

Given that he is willing to resort to physical destruction to stop global warming, there can be little doubt about his willingness to resort to data manipulation to make his case stronger than it otherwise would be.

As long as creatures like Hansen are “managing” the data, it will have little credibility with me.
