Scientists in stolen e-mail scandal hid climate data

The university at the centre of the climate change row over stolen e-mails broke the law by refusing to hand over its raw data for public scrutiny.

The University of East Anglia breached the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to comply with requests for data concerning claims by its scientists that man-made emissions were causing global warming.

The Information Commissioner’s Office decided that UEA failed in its duties under the Act but said that it could not prosecute those involved because the complaint was made too late, The Times has learnt. The ICO is now seeking to change the law to allow prosecutions if a complaint is made more than six months after a breach.

    “As chief operating officer for the cabal of Billionaires who control the global warming scam, Hitler quickly realizes the long range implications of “Glaciergate”.”

    So, they didn’t hide the data? Do you have anything of substance (SUBSTANCE!!) to add here? Anything? Anything, at all?

    Substance? Ass…

    So, that’s a no. As long as we’ve established that you’re bringing nothing to the table but a few third-rate epithets, then we can get back to the entertaining portion of our show, Mr. Mole–WHACK!!

    Why are you talking about a table?

  7. Palmetto Conservative says:

    Why are you talking? Nothing of value results.

  8. James says:

    What’s all this about value…? Do you honestly think you have anything of value to say? C’mon…

    Wipe the drool off of your chin, son. You’re embarrassing youself at this point (well, you’ve been embarrassing yourself all along, but now it’s just pitiful).

    Why do you hate?

    Why do you breathe?
