RE: "We should make a law requiring all data like this be made available in raw unmodified format. We paid for it, right ?"
Right on. We need a POTUS that will totally understand all the BS that has been taking place with the NASA and associated entities and is willing to get some solid people in from not only the scientific community but elsewhere that have carefully observed what the hell has been going on and restructure the agency to be how should I say "honest".

The sun has been behaving very strange lately. The raw data itself is getting wacky. Sunspot numbers are at max, but magnetism Ap is very low. The suns polar magnetic field shift on the sun apparently did not happen when it should have. So if they put modifiers on the raw data now, we will never have a clue. Brisbane Australia just had its coldest December summer day ever in recorded history.
