Peter Thorne's comments about politicisation of science have been among the most prominent of Climategate2. Now Thorne has apparently responded in a comments thread at RealClimate, making some extraordinary claims about Phil Jones.
I do not know of a single person who has done more to try to advance data sharing of meteorological data for the last 15 years than Phil Jones (if you doubt me you could mine something useful instead of personal emails … the GCOS report series to see how hard this really is to get to happen and how involved Phil Jones has been).
