1. The data the Dept. of Energy collects can't be described as "Reams".

Relation worked up until last April collecting and making available such data and he was dealing with Terabytes! Reminds me of the poor middle eastern museum keepers as the Taliban and ISIS advanced into their cities.

What will come of it all?

PS. When, at family gatherings, I asked him what the scoop was on the climate change issue...he would simply say: "It's much worse than they are telling you."

2. Fascinating. So no one else in the entire world keeps temp data but us, huh?

That doesn't sound entirely accurate. How could 'climate data' just vanish?

Perhaps it should be directly output to the internet so that ANYONE can read it.
