Climate researchers 'secrecy' criticised – but MPs say science remains intact (U.tv)

MPs today strongly criticised the University of East Anglia for not tackling a "culture of withholding information" among the climate change scientists whose private emails caused a furore after being leaked online in November.

But the committee did not condemn the actions of Prof Phil Jones, the head of UEA's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) because it said he should have been better supported by the university in dealing with requests for data under the Freedom of Information Act. It added that the scientific reputation of Jones and the CRU was untarnished.

Crooks in parliament covering for crooks at the UEA's CRU.

Bastards.

Indeed.

The Germans are also suspecting though (in their numbers, by all accounts):

They're being very, very kind to Jones, aren't they? Odd. Or not.

They are, although he was "suicidal", remember ;-)
