Garbage In, Garbage Not Allowed Out

Climate scientists have some explaining to do:

The university at the centre of the climate change row over stolen e-mails broke the law by refusing to hand over its raw data for public scrutiny.

The University of East Anglia breached the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to comply with requests for data concerning claims by its scientists that man-made emissions were causing global warming.

In what way is this behavior trying to suppresss data sharing anything like "science" rather than defending the faith from heretics and unbelievers?
