re: #999 goddamnedfrank

I take it then you have no similar objections to the NASA GISTEMP dataset?

Correct.

I should also assume that striking three decades of CRU’s data, much of it taken under agreements that long predate the political importance and prominence of the topic, won’t be followed by claims that the NASA dataset has no untainted contemporary equivalent and is therefore now questionable on that basis?

Correct also,

Programs used in the GISTEMP analysis and documentation on their use are available for download. The programs assume a Unix-like operating system and require familiarity with FORTRAN, C and Python for installation and use.

Here is the source code, and here is some of the data that is how real science is done.
