Hey, remember all those stolen and leaked emails amongst climate scientists that the folks on the Right swore up and down proved that it was all a ginned up conspiracy? As anyone with half a brain might have guessed the answer really was: eh, not really, no.
This time it is the Inspector General's office of the Commerce Department weighing in after completing an investigation at the request of freak out specialist Sen. Inhofe. This report joins the British House of Commons, Penn State University and the National Research Council in exonerating the scientists regarding claims that they manipulated scientific data. It did note that NOAA could improve it's handling of FOIA requests and that climate scientists should probably not forward around comics of Jim Inhofe regardless of how funny they are. True to form, however, Senator Inhofe continues to claim that there is a monster hiding under his bed. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SCI_CLIMATE_HACKED_E_MAILS?SITE=CAACS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/25/science/earth/25noaa.html?ref=science http://voices.washingtonpost.com/post-carbon/2011/02/report_clears_us_scientists_in.html Cheers, Judah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:334720 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
