Climate Change scare monger, Phil Jones, admits to have misplaced climate data:
Prof Jones stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s climate change unit in December after leaked emails appeared to show academics were manipulating data to bolster claims that global warming is caused by humans.
Now the academic has admitted he may have lost track of some of the data used to produce the famous “hockey stick” graph, which uses climate readings from worldwide weather stations to show a sharp rise in global temperatures.
The Climate Research Unit formerly headed by Prof Jones is responsible for analysing data from hundreds of weather stations to produce "evidence" of global warming which is used by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Prof Jones also admitted that his own lack of organisation had contributed to his reluctance to share crucial data with climate change sceptics, but denied that he deliberately distorted the evidence.
VH: Yes, Mr. Jones. I'm sure that Steve McIntyre roundly exposing your "hockey stick" theory as a farce had nothing to do with your "lost" data.

Michael Mann cleared of charges
From The Guardian:
The American scientist who produced the "hockey stick graph" showing a sharp rise in global warming was largely cleared of misconduct by an academic investigation today.
The board of inquiry at Pennsylvania State University said it found no evidence that Michael Mann, a leading climatologist, had suppressed or falsified data, tried to destroy data or emails, or misused information. It will convene a second panel to investigate whether he had violated academic practices, including those governing exchanges between scholars.
VH: Note that this does not mean that Mann's "Hockey Stick" was proven to be scientifically correct as it was implied in this CBS story. Secondly, is anyone surprised that a Penn State panel exonerated Mann? Thirdly, this does not mean data was not suppressed at all by someone.

Jon Stewart on ClimateGate
Stewart is usually such a lefty but he hits this issue right on the button on this clip.
The Heat Is On!
Phil Jones, one of the scientists behind ClimateGate, temporarily steps down from his post. The ball is rolling, folks.

More Climategate!
Hmmm. It seems that this whole Climategate has indeed gone global:
An agency of the New Zealand government has been cooking the books to create a warming trend where none exists, according to a joint research project by global warming skeptics at the Climate Conversation Group and the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition. The chief cook? Dr. Jim Salinger, considered one of the country's top scientists, who began the graph in the 1980s when he was at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the UK.
The plot thickens.

Climategate!
The mainstream media is working hard to downplay the Climategate scandal. I have noticed that one of my large local newspapers, the San Francisco Chronicle, has ramped up Global Warming articles too.
Patrick J. Michaels of the Cato Institute was a guest on the Laura Ingraham Show and his comments on Climategate are quite revealing. In turns out that he had been physically threatened by one of the scientists involved in the scandal.
