Another example of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.

This guy is just about the last person in the world who would ever kill himself. But fishing for sympathy in this way just proves to me that he is a master manipulator. I now feel like I know this guy. I just didn't realize it until I read this article. Mark my words... this guy sounds like a lying womanizer. My guess is that this whole climategate thing did not come from a “hacker” or a “whistle blower”. I will bet that of the women Phil Jones was sleeping with released the emails to get even with him.

that he had thought about killing himself “several times”

If you can't take the pressure that you yourself generated, by bringing and polluting science with your own petty political biases, perhaps you should just get out of the cooker, little boy. Leave it to men of real science.

Had i been interviewing him my response to his revelation would have been one word,very droll;”And?”

JUMP!

[alecqss]

Curious. I always thought once would suffice.

Well, it does not stop with the science. They have bizarre ideas about the suicide, too.

[hgro]

Well, he did figuratively. These Al Gore enablers should have a chance to ruminate over their transgressions in a prison cell.

Jones is a dick. Shoot yourself you lying maggot or STFU

[YHAOS]

Oh, prof Jones, we are so sorry.

[jtal]

Jump!

[LachlanMinnesota]

Typical...no follow through.

[Minipax]

Boo-hoo. These scumbags tried to use this cooked up nonsense to destroy capitalism. He is no scientist, he is a propagandist.

[Engineer_Soldier]

Yea , maybe it was the guilt of knowing he stabbed SCIENCE in the back . What a disgrace he is . He has helped science to become a political tool ..and he is a tool himself.

Speaking of political tool: What's this all about? (see link) http://fns.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/02/07/web-exclusive-palin-endorsing-mccain/

Palin has lost major cool-points with me (she was starting to suffer in that department anyways).

I’ll be happy to send him a fifth of whiskey, a pistol and one bullet so that he could do the right thing.

You forgot the porn magazines. Successful self-murder crime scenes typically include pornography for some reason.

[Little Ray]

Since he’s a Brit, I hoped he would do the “right thing” without them. You know, “Stiff upper lip” and “No sex please, we’re British.”

[Fitzy_888]

Ends justify the means. He never got to the ends, therefore he is disgraced be the means.

It’s stop-gap ethics.
