I also could not understand the practice of not providing dissenters with the data and models the science was based upon. This was all before the emails from Jones, et. al. were released.

I actually agree with this (thought I'm sure that is going to bring another flurry of attacks my way). All input should be evaluated and published on the Scientific Stage. My issue is when laymen, politicians and clergy try to do science in public forums and media. If there are dissenting voices these must be raised in the proper context the one of the established science processes, not on Ereader forums, not on NBC Nightly news etc. etc.

If data is not being shared openly and honestly then proper ethics of science are not being observed.
