Climategate, part 2

One of the climate scientists wrote to another:
It is inconceivable that policymakers will be willing to make billion-and trillion-dollar decisions for adaptation to the projected regional climate change based on models that do not even describe and simulate the processes that are the building blocks of climate variability.
It's not really inconceivable now that it's really happening.  Some other comments:
Basic problem is that all models are wrong – not got enough middle and low level clouds.
and ...
Any work we have done in the past is done on the back of the research grants we get – and has to be well hidden. I’ve discussed this with the main funder (US Dept of Energy) in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original station data.
