Peter Jackson's latest [link updated, no longer onering.net's version]

The actors' legal advice something like - you may not be able to have a collective contract, but you can still agree on terms with a bunch of people.

To muddy the waters further, Sir Peter is himself a member of a union
That original statement: "I'm a very proud and loyal member of three Hollywood Unions - the Directors Guild, the Producers Guild and the Writers Guild."

Speaking of which, you can read the hoax director's guild release here.
It's actually quite funny, though not very deep.

Gordon Campbell has quite a lot of interesting things to add.

I suppose I'll forgive you.
Every time the honours list comes out, I think of Roll Out The Knightcart.
When they were reinvigorating the titular honours, Jim Anderton had a go at singing that in Parliament.

If the science is to be robust then let other scientists test it.
Whats to fear?Making your data, results and methodology available is generally considered sufficient to allow this. THis has been the case for some time.
And as has been pointed out, the upward trend is backed up by unadjusted data from stations that haven't moved (and the 'unadjusted' graph the CSC is using now shows a very little warming).
I suspect people new to the debate will tend to be disappointed by the dismissal they get, most of these things have been hashed out ad nauseam many moons ago. Though that doesn't seem to have happened here.
As regards this particular case, the more I see the more it looks like a publicity stunt. Judging by the was the release about NIWA everyone's reading on Scoop concerns an underwater volcano, it doesn't seem to have been hugely successful.

Went and found the C"S"C press release. Which includes their 'summary of claim', which may be aiming vaguely in the direction Matthew says by opening with "NIWA has statutory duties to undertake climate research efficiently and effectively for the benefit of NZ, pursuing excellence and observing ethical standards, while maintaining full and accurate records."
They didn't seem to have sent Scoop the PR. Which just meant all the responses went up first.
