Heat rises in the search for temperature data truth

ABC (Australia)
"In the last few days, pro- and anti-climate change blogs have gone into overdrive over comments made at a US Congressional hearing into climate science.

To understand what it's all about, you need to go back to November 2009. One of the biggest science stories that month was the 'leaking' of emails from the Hadley Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, including the unit's head Professor Phil Jones.

The leak would later become known as 'Climategate'. .....This brings us back to Phil Jones and Climategate. How well adjusted is the data and are climate scientists 'cooking the books' to suit their needs? Professor Richard Muller of the University of California, Berkeley has for some time been critical of the techniques used by some of his colleagues.Last year, he gave a lecture in which he claimed he would no longer read papers authored by certain researchers, due to the Climategate scandal."

ED: The ABC are very pro-warmist as a rule....
