The 'climate gate' shown to be a total fraud, Phil Jones back as research head.
Climate scientists exonerated in 'climategate' but public trust damaged - CSMonitor.com
A six-month investigation into the leaked e-mails that formed the "climategate" scandal has largely exonerated key scientists, including Phil Jones, the former – and now reinstated – director of the University of East Anglia's (UEA) Climate Research Unit (CRU). The CRU's key findings have a major impact on the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which in turn influences climate policy on a global scale, including pending cap-and-trade carbon offset legislation in the US. Critics charged that the "climategate" e-mails proved that researchers were gaming the science to win public support for the idea that countries need to act to correct global warming
Hear Ye

Look at the hypocrisy we are now witnessing. Is this not one of the posters who insists that we check the credentials of anyone who opposes the lock step on anthropomorphic global warming? One of those that claims that only people who actually study the climate are qualified to have an opinion?
Let us examine the very same credentials of the men he now claims prove him and his ilk right.
The make up of the panel of "experts" who signed off on the IPCC data being essentially correct, if a bit zealous in their methods. After all, saving the planet is important, and a few excesses are understandable, because the "experts" agree the science is right.
Sir Alistair Muir Russell, who led the panel of experts, is a career civil servant from Scotland. Just because the Scottish government is rabidly pro AGW does not mean that Russell would allow political pressure to taint his judgment.

Geoffrey Boulton is an expert at chairing committees, and leads the Global Change Research Group, but surely he would not allow personal bias to color his professional opinion.

Professor Peter Clarke is a physicist who has never studied climatology.
David Eyton is an engineer employed by, wait for it, BP and has no background in climatology.
Professor Jim Norton is a man who is so talented only hiws own words do him justice.

We should bow to the superior knowledge of these "experts" and accept that the IPCC was right all along, despite the fact that most of these experts are not experts.
Did I mention that the report was paid for by the same university that is being investigated?
