Open Science Is Necessary [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The disclosure of climate data from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia led to an intensive examination of the scientific practices of climate change researchers. The House of Commons' report strongly suggested that the scientific community change practices 'to ensure greater transparency,' and ended with a declaration that 'the science must be irreproachable'. Unfortunately, the US government does not endorse such high standards. Much of the US government-financed research related to climate change policy is not available for public scrutiny. For example, consulting firms doing such research are not obligated to reveal the formulas they use to arrive at their policy evaluations and recommendations. This makes the kind of examination that is the norm for scientific communications impossible. [...]
