Presumably climate data is NOT SECRET STUFF.
On the other hand here's the board of directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Science advancing the notion that there can be too much in the way of FOIA requests for such data.
Actually, that data has no FOIA protection and should be made available for public review and use on a continuing basis ~ as it is produced.
The way to put an end to this idea is CUT OFF ALL GOVERNMENT FUNDING and GOVERNMENT TIES to the affected institutions and employees.
If they want to surround themselves with a privacy hedge, let them do it on their own ticket ~ not mine!
BTW, that also means TAKE AWAY THEIR PRIVILEGE TO MAIL AT THE PERIODICALS RATE. They can take that 6 pound paper rock of theirs they mail out at a cross-subsidized rate every month and pay First Class Mail rates!

The reality is that you and I paid for the research. I’d like to see the results and how they came to them. Why not put ALL publicly financed research on the web? It would be very cheap and then there would be no need for FOIA requests.
I am so sick of these leftist trying to get into my pocket and control everything I do that I am truly getting VERY angry about all this stuff.
LET”S SEE THE DATA!
I like your thoughts and suggestions there. Right on! It is rather frustrating though, not getting to disagree and all. ;^)
