The favorite target of climate-change deniers, Michael Mann, has been
cleared of any research wrongdoing.
"The panel found no evidence of research misconduct in three of the four areas
it examined, including falsifying data and misusing confidential information.
But it concluded that further investigation was needed into whether Mann did
anything not in keeping with accepted practices for proposing, conducting or
reporting research."
I know it would be wishful thinking to think that the ignorant folks
who up until now used this one incident to paint all scientists as dishonest,
and thus free them from acknowledging anything they don't like as valid, would
realize that at worst this was a matter of incorrect protocol being followed,
and at best a simple matter of human error by an individual. However, as these
people are the same ones who continue to knowingly assert untruths such as "Al
Gore claimed to have invented the internet", I strongly doubt that they will
display any more honesty when it comes to this matter. But at least those of
you with some shred of dignity will be able to more easily spot these liars
when they continue to repeat lies about climate scientists "cooking the books".
