Who expected anything else? The two self-inquiries launched by the University of East Anglia into its Climatic Research Unit (CRU) were always destined to produce whitewashes, as did a recent UK parliamentary inquiry, and as will an \u201cindependent\u201d review by the UN.<\/p>\n<p>The first of the UEA reports, from a committee headed by ardent warmist and anti-carbon profiteer Lord Oxburgh, appeared this week. As Lawrence Solomon points out elsewhere on this page, the choice of Lord Oxburgh indicated that the fix was always in for an inquiry which fails to address, let alone probe, most of the major issues. And yet there is a mountain of condemnation-by-faint-exoneration between the lines of the report\u2019s ridiculously slim five pages.<\/p>\n<p>Its attempt to present CRU head Phil Jones, and his beleaguered band, as unworldly boffins who were blindsided by all this attention is ridiculous. The report claims that it found a \u201csmall group of dedicated if slightly disorganised researchers.\u201d The key question is: dedicated to what? Certainly, they weren\u2019t expecting to be outed quite so spectacularly, but to paint them as innocents in the big bad world of climate realpolitik is nonsense.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: network.nationalpost.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/climaterealists.com\/index.php?id=5549\">Read in full with comments \u00bb<\/a>  &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7838FpQtFixPJkyRTjvMwsKkA1c\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7838FpQtFixPJkyRTjvMwsKkA1c\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7838FpQtFixPJkyRTjvMwsKkA1c\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/7838FpQtFixPJkyRTjvMwsKkA1c\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/ClimaterealistsNewsBlog\/~4\/TBsVTPnBtgw\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Tags: ClimateGate, Peter Foster CRU scientists who removed caveats from IPCC reports are praised for warning of uncertainties in their published work Climategate scientists cleared of wrongdoing\u201d read the headline in yesterday\u2019s Post.
