UPDATED @ 11:57 a.m. Friday: The Union of Concerned Scientists, based in Washington, D.C., has issued a statement concerning Penn State Professor Michael Mann. Details have been incorporated into the report below.----------A Penn State-led investigation into the work of Professor Michael E. Mann has cleared him of alleged wrongdoing, the university announced Thursday.Mann, a recognized climate researcher at Penn State, was accused last year of twisting information to manipulate dialogue about global warming. The accusations materialized after critics obtained some of his correspondence from British computer servers and posted his e-mails publicly.Some mainstream news outlets called the matter "Climategate."But in January, an initial Penn State committee found no evidence to support three of the four primary claims against Mann. The fourth allegation questioned whether Mann had compromised confidence in his climate findings by undermining the public's trust.A second university committee, comprising five Penn State faculty members, investigated that charge for the past four months. They looked to see whether Mann had "engaged in, directly or indirectly, any actions that seriously deviated from accepted practices within the academic community for proposing, conducting or reporting research or other scholarly activities."
What a pant-loadHow would you know if he manipulated data if the data was thrown out by the researcher's own admission?And when did dumping research data become an acceptable academic practice?
When it supports liberal agendas, you silly boy!
