Scientist who said climate change sceptics had been proved wrong accused of hiding truth by colleague

A very sad commentary that an effort purported to decrease controversy will only escalate it. All those people that complained about the ‘hockey stick’ distortion (of which I am happy to be a member) will have a field day with this (copied from the link above):
How can you _possibly_ justify not showing this data unless you are intent on obscuring it? Yes, it is extremely difficult to predict the future of the climate (I would make the case it is essentially impossible to predict anything less than we will have an ice age in the next 10-20K years and even that has historical evidence hinting that the chance is not absolute), but that should lead to fewer absolute statements (like “the controversy is over”), not more. That the author of this disputed data goes on a round of press interview when his papers are still in peer review tells me that he is full of crap and would make me very skeptical of his paper. Given how the media works, if his papers are all rejected no one will every know and he will live on in popular memory as the guy who debunked the climate skeptics when all he did was bolster their case.
