I think I'll go put it on some other threads as well.

The fight over global warming science is about to cross the Atlantic with a U.S. researcher poised to sue NASA, demanding release of the same kind of climate data that has landed a leading British center in hot water over charges it skewed its data.
Chris Horner... said NASA has refused for two years to provide information under the Freedom of Information Act that would show how the agency has shaped its climate data and would explain why the agency has repeatedly had to correct its data going as far back as the 1930s.
"I assume that what is there is highly damaging," Mr. Horner said. "These guys are quite clearly bound and determined not to reveal their internal discussions about this."
The numbers matter. Under pressure in 2007, NASA recalculated its data and found that 1934, not 1998, was the hottest year in its records for the contiguous 48 states. NASA later changed that data again...
Mark Hess, public affairs director for the Goddard Space Flight Center which runs the GISS laboratory, said they are working on Mr. Horner's request, though he couldn't say why they have taken so long.
He said he was unfamiliar with the British controversy and couldn't say whether NASA was susceptible to the same challenges to its data. The White House has dismissed the British e-mails as irrelevant.
The Freedom of Information Act requires agencies to respond to requests within 20 days. Mr. Horner says he's never received an official acknowledgement of his three separate FOIA requests, but has received e-mails showing the agency is aware of them.
He said he has provided NASA with a notice of intent to sue under FOIA, but said he also hopes members of Congress get involved and demand the information be released.

Liar! Or else he's been on extended vacation for the past two weeks in Tahiti.
See this post for information about the NASA GISS head, radical James Hansen. They are neck deep in this scandal and Horner is not the first to challenge him and their data, but those looking hard at the data manipulation have not had the press coverage before this.

Oh right, are these MY toes? I’m unfamiliar with them...
Not necessarily - if he get his news from ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC
The problem is that they will have help and cover from the White House and the rest of the Administration because this AGW crap is one of the main fronts which the left is pushing to help destroy our free country.
And Obama was not aware of the TEA parties. ;)
From here on out, I am going to refer to these characters as the global warming “perps.” Make it a meme.

BUMP!
Thanks.
Partially incorrect, the NASA insiders did not believe in global warming by greenhouse gas, but instead by the sun. NASA insiders, even not all, were afraid that if it told the truth, the eco fascists would slam NASA, while eco fascists would run conspiracy theories on panic mode.
Now we find they're actively corrupting and hiding scientific data on the weather.
Close NASA so we can start colonizing space in earnest.
NASA is the Post Office. We need a UPS (Universal Private Space) alternative.
