Second, whereas it might take lots of data storage space to store data analysis, it doesn't take a ton to archive measured temperatures. If temperature was measured every hour, for 100 years, that would be only 876,000 separate data points. You could easily write those numbers down on less than 2000 pieces of paper, less than the size of the current health care bill. The only reason they may have had too much data to store is if they had massaged it so much already that there were file upon file of altered data. I just don't buy the data storage issue.
And some little freebie intern could knock it out in two weeks and be thrilled to death to be a part of it.
