From: Phil Jones To: Michael Mann , Gavin Schmidt Subject: Nature Aug 12 Date: Thu Aug 13 09:13:53 2009 Mike, Gavin, See the attached - odd quote by McIntyre in the middle of this .. he is not interested in challenging the science of climate change or in nit-picking, but is simply asking that the data be made available. "The only policy I want people to change is their data-access policy" I must have been in a parallel universe for the past 7-8 years! The CRU web page referred to in the article is this one. [1]http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/availability/ I'm off at noon today - back in on Aug 20. I'll be checking email once a day, but will not be looking at blog sites. Olive Heffernan at Nature expects the Nature blog site to be hijacked by the deniers. She also said she would put up an expanded article, but I can't see this.
