The United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 in Copenhagen that is scheduled for next week will take place under the cloud of Climategate. First the hacked file-dump that took place more than a week ago exposed emails and falsified data that has been the source for global warming hysteria. Now, Universities on both sides of the pond are investigating the emails and data that have been exposed.
The Associated Press is reporting today that the director of the Climate Research Unit at England’s University of East Anglia, is stepping down from his post. Phil Jones’ resignation comes after the emails revealing the theory that man-made global warming is a hoax were released on the internet. Included in the emails were directives from Jones for others to delete specific messages and to falsify data.
An independent investigation into allegations that Jones altered the way global temperature data was presented is expected to take place. The allegations against the director and the data that was leaked include over a decade’s worth of correspondence that point to the fabrication of the entire global warming movement.
Penn State Meteorology Professor Michael Mann, is also being accused of exaggerating or fabricating global warming data. The Daily Collegian is reporting that Penn State officials are investigating whether Mann and his colleagues distorted data on global warming. According to the report, a committee assigned by PSU will read all 300 email messages to determine if further inspection is necessary.
In light of these developments, President Barack Obama is expected to attend the Conference in Copenhagen and the U.S. Congress continues to push for Cap & Trade legislation.
