I have just one comment on the Climategate reports and that is this.
People who ask the world to spend $45 trillion on a project are surely under an obligation to show their raw data and their workings. If instead, they
publish only `adjusted data' rather than raw data,
refuse reasonable requests for computer code,
break freedom of information laws,
use `tricks' to `hide' inconvenient data,
base an argument on one tree,
use inappropriate statistical techniques,
break their own rules on sources,
and urge each other to delete rather than release correspondence,
then I don't think they should go to jail or be called frauds.
But I do think their request should be politely turned down.
