Ahem...
Bottom line, lying is good science, trust me.
fyi
LOL...amazing chutzpah to lie so blatantly. And here I thought part of science was to present one's theories and the data and then have peers attempt to reproduce results and test hypotheses.
How are Al Gore, James Hanson and this guy any better than Bernie Madoff?
Certain types of secrecy are often part of legitimate scientific research, especially temporary secrecy, to prevent competitors from stealing information that was expensive to compile or discover and rushing to publish research on it, patent it, and commercialize it, leaving the team which may have done 90% of the work high and dry. And obviously secrecy about individual patient identities is the norm, meaning that raw data (i.e. patient files) from which data was complied for analysis, must be kept secret, and not available for direct review. But none of this has anything to do with Mr. Jones and his pathetic excuses. He’ll be lucky if he can get a job teaching elementary school science at this point. He is now a former scientist.
Whatever university gave this man his diploma should demand he give it back! What a disgraceful thing to say. All science is supposed to depend on honesty and peer review to try to disprove it, that is what makes it science.

And he claimed it was not ’standard practice’ to release data and
computer models so other scientists could check and challenge research.

So at least some major academic scientists no longer believe in
the cardinal principals of “falsify-ability” or “free exchange of data”
so that models can be either proven or dis-proven.
It’s sad to NOT see other academic scientists falling on the neck
of “Professor” Phil Jones.
And denouncing his Bill-Clintonesque view of how to get ahead in academia.
