JWoods - more shoddy posting and speculation.
Professor Jones has not resigned:
Professor Phil Jones has today announced that he will stand aside as Director of the Climatic Research Unit until the completion of an independent Review resulting from allegations following the hacking and publication of emails from the Unit.
Professor Jones said: "What is most important is that CRU continues its world leading research with as little interruption and diversion as possible. After a good deal of consideration I have decided that the best way to achieve this is by stepping aside from the Director's role during the course of the independent review and am grateful to the University for agreeing to this. The Review process will have my full support."
Vice-Chancellor Professor Edward Acton said: "I have accepted Professor Jones's offer to stand aside during this period. It is an important step to ensure that CRU can continue to operate normally and the independent review can conduct its work into the allegations.
“We will announce details of the Independent Review, including its terms of reference, timescale and the chair, within days. I am delighted that Professor Peter Liss, FRS, CBE, will become acting director.”
Those of us who do not swallow global warming hook line and sinker must really feel like a JW elder in about 1972 saying to the others - be careful, maybe the end of the world is not really going to come in 1975.
There were very few of us.
Analogizing unquestioning obedience to a mind control cult with a global scientific consensus tells me everything I need to know about your critical thinking ability. Zilch.
There is very few of you for a reason - natural selection.
