We wish!
Well, more news out about those leaked emails. From PZ Myers.
On the much cited phrases in the leaked e-mails—"trick" and "hiding the decline"—the Committee considers that they were colloquial terms used in private e-mails and the balance of evidence is that they were not part of a systematic attempt to mislead.
Insofar as the Committee was able to consider accusations of dishonesty against CRU, the Committee considers that there is no case to answer.
The Committee found no reason in this inquiry to challenge the scientific consensus as expressed by Professor Beddington, the Government Chief Scientific Adviser, that "global warming is happening [and] that it is induced by human activity". But this was not an inquiry into the science produced by CRU and it will be for the Scientific Appraisal Panel, announced by the University on 22 March, to determine whether the work of CRU has been soundly built.
On the mishandling of Freedom of Information (FoI) requests, the Committee considers that much of the responsibility should lie with the University, not CRU. The leaked e-mails appear to show a culture of non-disclosure at CRU and instances where information may have been deleted to avoid disclosure, particularly to climate change sceptics. The failure of the University to grasp fully the potential damage this could do and did was regrettable. The University needs to re-assess how it can support academics whose expertise in FoI requests is limited. |
Of course, Vox Day, who got his source from a different place than Myers did, has to have his say:
Translation: we found nothing too terribly damning... mostly because we were careful not to look very hard. Please, please, please be sure to notice all the qualifiers we were careful to insert so we don't look like we were covering anything up when more in-depth investigations reach opposite conclusions.
The stonewalling didn't work. Neither will the whitewashing. |

| Naturally, as "Durantis", I had to have my little say. |
