I don't agree. I think that the data needs to be produced and proven
before the Copenhagen Conference later this month and long before the
House and Senate pass any cap and trade bill.

Several readers noted the latest fallout from the Climate Research Unit's
[0]Climategate: the admission by the University of East Anglia that the
[1]raw data behind important climate research was discarded in the 1980s,
"a time when climate change was seen as a less pressing issue" according
to the Times (UK) article. The Telegraph [2]quotes Phil Jones, beleagured
head of the CRU: "Our global temperature series tallies with those of
other, completely independent, groups of scientists working for NASA and
the National Climate Data Centre in the United States, among others. Even
if you were to ignore our findings, theirs show the same results. The
facts speak for themselves; there is no need for anyone to manipulate
them." Some of the data behind these other results can likely be found in
a new resource that [3]jamie located up at the [4]Real Climate site: a
compilation of [5]links to a wide variety of raw data about climate. From
the former link: "In the aftermath of the CRU email hack, many people
have come to believe that scientists are unfairly restricting access to
the raw data relating to the global rise in temperature. ... We have set
up a page of data links to sources of temperature and other climate data,
codes to process it, model outputs, model codes, reconstructions,
paleo-records, the codes involved in reconstructions etc."
