THE RUSSELL WHITEWASH

The report has been released from the Russell Whitewash Inquiry into Climategate.
The "rigour and honesty" of the scientists at the centre of a row over climate research, sparked when hundreds of emails were stolen from a world-renowned research centre, is not in doubt, an independent review said today.

NB "an independent review"?!

Sir Muir Russell was asked to investigate the UEA CRU by the UEA itself...and the UEA is financing the inquiry!! So how can it be declared as "independent"? Duh, gee, I dunno, boss.

Anyway, hardly a surprise, but the inquiry run by Russell into the UEA CRU which was financed by the UEA has concluded that the UEA CRU is full of saints but they should have been a bit more open.
