Final CRU email review considers, overwhelmingly rejects critics' accusations of misconduct

The Independent Climate Change Email Review investigation of the Climategate emails rejected the vast majority of allegations made against CRU including all the claims made about tree-ring data, breaking of IPCC rules, and manipulating peer review. The only allegations upheld related to CRU's unwillingness to share data and a single misleading graph. The detail in the ICCER's report make claims of a "whitewash" untenable.

  1. #1    SO it's unanimous, the Climate Change Deniers were completely bullsh!t. Their entire smash&grab was bogus, the scientists that they smeared were doing honest research on a crucial issue and their results were unimpeachable even under intense scrutiny that makes normal peer review seem like a cakewalk.
    But, that part of the story isn't getting anything like the Mediaplay that the smear itself got. And, the climate change legislation that had been moving through Congress has been effectively killed.
    So the deniers' win this even as the proof arrives that they were dishonest and wrong.
    On a somewhat different note, when faced with an article that's packed with acronyms as this one is, please include a translation list in a sidebar. That way, you don't have to translate in the body copy and your readers don't come away wondering what all those initials mean.

  2. #2    What is terrifying is not that the Earth is warming. What is terrifying is that wealthy, conservative imbeciles are preventing us from taking the steps needed to slow it down. Because, they are rich, they imagine that all they have to do is turn the thermostat in their air-conditioned mansions down a degree or two and that solves the problem. If millions of poor people suffer and die terrible deaths due to global warming, that is just one more thing they can watch on T.V. and laugh about.

  3. #3    ACORN, Shirley Sherrod, CRU, where does it all end? The right wing, with no good ideas to advance, is left with nothing but lies, theft, distortion and slander. In any other reality, this would thoroughly discredit their movement, but in America the MSM lines up to advance their agenda and careers are ruined, people are maligned and the public is misinformed.
