Whatever the fate of the climate deal struck between Penny Wong and Ian Macfarlane, the package it proposes is not radically different from the one the Senate rejected in August.
[In case you missed it: The note that accompanied the CRU data] We [plural] feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection [suggesting that "they" might not have released everything that they have?] of correspondence, code, and documents. Hopefully it will give some insight into the science and the people...
