CLIMATEGATE: CLIMATE RESEARCH GROUP IS CLEARED – SORT OF

Habitual destaque para a coluna do físico Robert Park "Whats New":

Last week we reported that Michael Mann, the Penn State University climate scientist who played a key role in alerting the world to global warming, was exonerated by the University in the climategate controversy that broke in December.

Wednesday a British panel exonerated the members of the Climate Research Unit at East  Anglia University in the UK.  However, the scientists had failed to uphold  the standards of openness on which the credibility and influence of science is grounded.  Everyone involved has now been held accountable for their actions, except the unknown hackers who broke the law.  They must have imagined the e-mails would set off an explosion, but it was in the end a barely audible "pop."  So everyone has been cleared except the unknown hackers that selectively leaked the climate scientist’s e-mails.
