Radio Discussion of Holland vs Met Office

David Holland’s adventures with Met Office dishonesty is covered in a recent article in a law journal [link] and in a radio segment here *=(h/t Bishop Hill.) Untruthful answers by the UK Met Office to David Holland’s FOI requests were discussed at CA in 2008. Holland followed up with CRU, thus the “delete any emails” […]

Re-post of “Tamino and the Magic Flute”
