The Berkeley Earth Project

In a few weeks a new kid on the block of global warming, The Berkeley Earth Project, will unveil a huge collection of climate data.

I think the naysayers won't budge regardless. Global warming has entered the minds of many people with the same intensity that religion has. Its like a belief in god.

Guardian UK: Can a group of scientists in California end the war on climate change? The Berkeley Earth project say they are about to reveal the definitive truth about global warming
Starting from scratch, with new computer tools and more data than has ever been used, they will arrive at an independent assessment of global warming. The team will also make every piece of data it uses – 1.6bn data points – freely available on a website. It will post its workings alongside, including full information on how more than 100 years of data from thousands of instruments around the world are stitched together to give a historic record of the planet's temperature.


The wealth of data Rohde has collected so far – and some dates back to the 1700s – makes for what Muller believes is the most complete historical record of land temperatures ever compiled.
