New Episodes Of Scientists Behaving Badly

WSJ
"Scandals just keep pouring from the laboratories......Those who have followed the tawdry "Climategate" spectacle won't find such allegations all that hard to believe. The more journalists dig into the internal emails of top climate scientists—communications hacked and made public last year—the more examples of manipulation of scholarly journals they find. Just this week, the Guardian newspaper noted that Prof. Phil Jones, then head of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England, bragged about scuttling the work of scientists who might have called his own work into question. "Recently rejected two papers [submitted to scholarly journals] from people saying CRU has it wrong," Prof. Jones crowed to another prominent global-warmist, Prof. Michael Mann. "Went to town in both reviews, hopefully successfully. " Prof. Jones and his defenders have suggested that anyone shocked by such machinations is naive about the ways of science. That's not exactly the most reassuring of assertions."
