“Climate Gate Scientist” Temporarily Stepping Down Pending Investigation December 2, 2009

The chief of a prestigious British research center caught in a storm of controversy over claims that he and others suppressed data about climate change has stepped down pending an investigation, the University of East Anglia said Tuesday.
Britain’s University of East Anglia says the director of its prestigious Climatic Research Unit is stepping down pending an investigation into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change.
The university says Phil Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review into allegations that he worked to alter the way in which global temperature data was presented.
The allegations were made after more than a decade of correspondence between leading British and U.S. scientists were posted to the Web following the security breach last month.
The e-mails were seized upon by some skeptics of man-made climate change as proof that scientists are manipulating the data about its extent.
Back at the White House…
“Climate Change Is Happening….Not In Dispute Anymore” says Gibbs
Notice how Gibbs doesn’t answer the question of the Climategate e-mails, just continues with the Global Warming talking points…
