Scientists are frantically copying U.S. climate data

Dupe of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13168971" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13168971</a>

I recall a post just a few days ago about quitting the news, and how the media focuses on fear. There&#x27;s no indication that the trump administration is going to do anything to climate data other than ignore it. They even say so in this article.

With the new appointees asking for information about who attended global warming and carbon conferences. The destruction of previous data is a huge possiblity we are talking about Bible thumping evoultio and global warming deniers. And many of these guys are in the pockets of oil in one way or another

Hey, remember when info relating to government-held climate records was a big secret and instead of frantically plotting to <i>release</i> the data the same people were frantically plotting to <i>evade FOIA requests</i> for it, on the grounds that if all the raw data and algorithms got out it might be <i>misused</i> to cast doubt on scientific conclusions?<p>(eg: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalreview.com&#x2F;planet-gore&#x2F;252543&#x2F;cei-files-brief-seeking-nasa-records-chris-horner" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nationalreview.com&#x2F;planet-gore&#x2F;252543&#x2F;cei-files-b...</a> )<p>This seems like a massive improvement - fear of Trump has created a huge win for independent public access to US climate info, and he hasn&#x27;t even taken office yet. Hurray for replicability! :-)
