The integrity of climate change research is in doubt after the disclosure of e-mails that attempt to suppress data, a leading scientific institute has said.
The Institute of Physics said that e-mails sent by Professor Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, had broken “honourable scientific traditions” about disclosing raw data and methods and allowing them to be checked by critics.
Professor Jones admitted to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee yesterday that he had “written some very awful e-mails”, including one in which he rejected a request for information on the ground that the person receiving it might criticise his work.
In a written submission to the committee, the institute said that, assuming the e-mails were genuine, “worrying implications arise for the integrity of scientific research in this field and for the credibility of the scientific method as practised in this context”.
The e-mails contained “prima facie evidence of determined and co-ordinated refusals to comply with honourable scientific traditions and freedom of information law”, it added.

Lord Lawson of Blaby, the former Conservative Chancellor and a leading climate sceptic, said that those who wanted to check the university’s research should not have been forced to resort to making requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
He said: “Proper scientists, scientists of integrity, wish to reveal all of their data and all of their methods. They don’t need freedom of information requests to force it out of them.”

Prof Jones is a fraud.
The unsaid point being that people who are afraid of the truth coming are telling you lies...
Well, I guess these were fakes as originally claimed by the Warmism Deceivers.

“Shame on the NY Times (but they know no shame).”
The NY Times is setting themselves up to be sold to the highest bidder. Carlos Slim of Mexico is the most likely buyer right now, so no doubt they are minding their P’s and Q’s and maintaining their liberal slant because they think it makes them a more attractive opportunity.
Lord Blaby: “Proper scientists, scientists of integrity, wish to reveal all of their data and all of their methods. They don’t need freedom of information requests to force it out of them.”
Hear - hear!!
THANK YOU to the KGB guy who hacked the CRU e-mails. The entire hoax is unraveling nicely. Sweet. It is only a matter of time now before the evil US MSM has to cover this in detail and the AGW theory explodes in shame.
I can’t wait. Good bye green jobs, Cap and Tax, and California CARB.
fyi
What a shameful twerp.
