ClimateGate

If you didn't know already (and you probably don't because none of the US Majors are reporting it) there is a bunch of hubhub over some false data (or data that was ommitted rather) from the 2007 ICC report on Global Warming.  Scientists hid data that didn't fit their political goals or changed it so it did?  And there were a bunch of emails that were hacked from a University that revealed this.

If you want a wrap up of where we stand today - see this in the Telegraph UK.

For more info see Daily Express UK.  In summary:

His comments came days after a scandal in climate-change research emerged through the leak of emails from the world-leading research unit at the University of East Anglia. They appeared to show that scientists had been massaging data to prove that global warming was taking place.

The Climate Research Unit also admitted getting rid of much of its raw climate data, which means other scientists cannot check the subsequent research. Last night the head of the CRU, Professor Phil Jones, said he would stand down while an independent review took place.

Just in case you were curious.
