Prime Minister's Office

More details from petition creator

The Met Office , the climate research unit and various individuals at numerous academic institutions are refusing to release the source codes used in their climate research models.

These are tax payer funded institutions, which are influencing government policy decisions which will affect the day to day lives of us all.

With the Prime Minister's belief in a new age of transparency, it is unsurportable that these publicly funded organisations, are not open to public scrutiny .
