>> since these "scientists" do not release their code. We are supposed to believe the priests who say Earth is at the center of the universe, but we are not allowed to see either their data or method they used to arrive at that conclusion.
>>This isn't the production code, although it's related. CRU has promised to release both the code and the raw data. At that point, us coders can start the process of replicating the results, and looking for statistically significant errors. I agree this is the key point. I also think it's fair to state that without the leaked e-mails and documents they would not have agreed to release their data and code. I'll go one step further: No science is "settled" if nobody has even had the opportunity to replicate the work.
