Many journels, including Nature where the Mann et al articles were published, do require that the data be available on request. That is one of M&M's early complaints, that Mann et al did not provide the data for several series, making it harder to accurately reproduce the results. I don't think that was ever completely resolved, even with the
Corrigendum.
Anyway, the
M&M site update is pretty interesting (as discussed on the
other thread). Their strongest evidence, IMO, is still that feeding random data into Mann's program yields the same hockey stick shape.
