Most of these scientists are working on public grants, and in America and Britain anyone working on a public grant must make their data available to all. The fact that they have not is prima facia evidence of falsification.

I don’t think you understand prima facie. Maybe you meant res ipsa loquitur, but even that is not accurate here. You are extrapolating meaning without a causal link. Prima facie (note the spelling too) evidence would be more like finding the “real” data and comparing to theirs to show the falsehood. Whatever though, try to use big words to make yourself sound more serious if you like.

One can pretend that this is a non-story, but its a non-story on 11M web sites.

I think there are about 11M web sites with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion but that don’t make them real either. How about Obama’s fake Kenyan birth certificate. Just because something is spread on the web doesn’t make it true.
