I thought these musings on the code behind the data was more interesting. (John Stodder, I hate you for pointing this post out, and costing me way too much sleep).
http://www.di2.nu/200911/23a.htm I don't necessarily agree with the author. He has obviously never worked on a multi-year programing project, nor worked for the government or science sector. And doesn't seem to understand the constraints that are placed on most projects. (There is seldom a "make it right" option available, just a "make it work a little better, in no time and no money"). And this is obviously not the only climate model running. But the code _is_ pretty scary in there.
