We have already had people requesting information on temperature modeling algorithms from NASA that Hansen did not provide. Perhaps he had a good reason, but the issue was on the table and not responded to. Given the current climate (pardon the pun) transparency in the discussion will only help, in spite of the fact that many believe the issue is settled..

The work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (
IPCC) is probably the most open and peer reviewed of any and it has no corporate or special interest funding.
If you havent read it, I would suggest reading the most recent
"Summary for Policymakers" that addresses the human and natural drivers of climate change.
For an additional objective analysis, an FAQ on the IPCC report is available from the US Climate Change Science Project, including a section (2.1) "How do human activities contribute to climate change and How do they compare with natural influence" (
