More official vindication for those "Climategate" scientists.
quote:According to Lord Ernest Oxburgh, who led the investigation, the probe uncovered "absolutely no evidence of any impropriety whatsoever." He added that "whatever was said in the e-mails, the basic science seems to have been done fairly and properly." Then last week, a blue ribbon panel of science faculty at Penn State University unanimously exonerated professor Michael Mann himself. Investigators found "no substance" to charges made against the climatologist by his media detractors. Exactly as the embattled climatologist had said, his e-mail communications had been "misrepresented ... (and) completely twisted to imply the opposite of what was actually being said."

I'd be blaming Murdoch rather than England for anything the Times does, personally.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Too be honest, even if "Climategate" hadn't occurred, I still think the deniers would find something else to hang on too to prove their right. I mean, there are no blinder people than those who deliberately choose not to see.

The entire hack thing now smells of a scam itself- very curious that the e-mail hack (which was never itself really investigated) should happen just in time for that big Climate summit.
But you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for the press to change course now taht it's set- all subsequent discussions on global warming will have some reference to this manufactured bullshit.
In it's execution it's very much like what the Tobacco industry has done to discredit medical data on smoking.
