The British scientist at the heart of a scandal over climate-change research temporarily stepped down Tuesday as director of a prominent research group amid an internal probe that follows the release of hacked emails involving him and other scientists. People in Copenhagen form the logo of a campaign to cut carbon emissions to 350 parts per million. The University of East Anglia in the U.K. said Phil Jones, head of the university's Climatic Research Unit, had decided to step aside from the director's post.

* UN climate panel report "in no way" tarnished * Review process makes bias impossibleLONDON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The head of the U.N.'s panel of climate experts rejected accusations of bias on Thursday, saying a "Climategate" row in no way undermined evidence that humans are to blame for global warming. Climate change sceptics have seized on a series of e-mails written by specialists in the field, accusing them of colluding to suppress data which might have undermined their arguments. The e-mails, some written as long as 13 years ago, were stolen from a British university by unknown hackers and...

A recent hack into a prominent UK scientist's computer has revealed over a thousand emails that contain incriminating information against climate change and global warming proponents. The information in these emails has been described as a 'smoking gun' evidence of data collusion and manipulation among climatologists. This data was tweaked to be in support of the widely held view that man is causing climate change. The data has been retrieved from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, or Hadley CRU, by an anonymous poster by the name of 'FOIA'. The director of Britain's leading Climate Research Unit, Phil...
