UK Met Office to publish climate records

"If you look at the land data, the sea surface data temperatures and mean air temperature data, those three records independently show a 0.7 degree warming trend over the past 100 years. That's all published by the IPCC."

"We also know that NASA have data sets that show pretty much the same trend over the past 100 years and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) also have a data set -- which, I think, is all freely available."

.....by releasing the data it was continuing a policy of putting as many station temperature records as possible into the public domain. The office says it's confident that the data will show that global average land temperatures have risen over the past 150 years.
