ClimateGate Fraud Temporarily Steps Down

The AP still clings to the fantasy that this fraud has any credibility.

Britain's University of East Anglia says the director of its prestigious Climatic Research Unit is stepping down pending an investigation into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change.

The university says Phil Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review into allegations that he worked to alter the way in which global temperature data was presented.

Independent review. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Will the review be peer-reviewed?

The e-mails were seized upon by some skeptics of man-made climate change as proof that scientists are manipulating the data about its extent.

Uh, yes, and it was definitive proof.

Next up, hopefully, will be a prosecution of Jones and his merry band of hoaxsters.
