Permalink Climategate report: 'Campaign to win hearts and minds' needed

Shameful Sham Climategate report urges 'campaign to win hearts and minds' to restore confidence in global warming science. The University of East Anglia's enquiry into the conduct of its own staff at its Climatic Research Unit has highlighted criticisms of the department and staff conduct - but clears the path for the individuals concerned to carry on. The CRU played an important role in writing the UN's IPCC summaries on climate science, so the issue is far from a parochial one. The most serious charge is poor communication; Sir Muir Russell even calls for "a concerted and sustained campaign to win hearts and minds" to restore confidence in the team's work. Climate Audit: Climate Audit's McIntyre: 'Muir Russell's [climategate report] contains many gaffes and errors'. Examiner: More Errors: Muir Russell writes that Oxburgh inquiry looked at the science. Lord Oxburgh has specifically stated that his inquiry did not look at the science'.
