CRU’s Phil Jones will step down from his position as director of the unit that cooked climate change data to hide global cooling. Britain’s East Anglia University says Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review.
The CRU scandal emerged after anonymous persons gained access to 160 MB of emails and source code. It is uncertain if the evidence implicating Jones and the CRU came from hackers or whistle-blowers.
Lord Monckton, the third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley and adviser to Margaret Thatcher’s policy unit in the 1980s, went on the Alex Jones Show last week and called for criminal prosecution of Jones and his crew of climate change fraudsters.
In a blog entry posted prior to talking with Alex Jones, Monckton noted how Phil Jones and his co-conspirators “have refused, for years and years and years, to reveal their data and their computer program listings.”
Phil Jones and the CRU have stonewalled FOIA requests demanding access to the data. It is alleged he destroyed evidence in an effort to cover-up the fraud.
On Sunday, the Times Online reported that scientists at the University of East Anglia admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based. The CRU was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.
On Saturday, the University of East Anglia said that 95% of the CRU climate data set concerning land surface temperatures has been made available to the public for “several years” and that all data will be released as soon as they are clear of non-publication agreements.
Phil Jones told the science journal Nature that he was working to make the data publicly available with the agreement of its owners but this was expected to take some months.
He has called the charges that the emails and source code involve any “untoward” activity “ludicrous.”Monckton and others dispute the usefulness of this data. “As a revealing 15,000-line document from the computer division at the Climate Research Unit shows, the programs and data are a hopeless, tangled mess. In effect, the global temperature trends have simply been made up.”

Mr. Nimmo, Isn't this the Lord Monckton who worked at the Centre for Policy Studies when they and Margaret Thatcher decided to hype co2 based global warming to help sell the public on nuclear reactors. She pretended she was an environmentalist, she drove a wedge between the coal union and the greens, she gave the military a base to pursue an independent weapons programs. It was brilliant. Monckton was Thatcher's science advisor (notice he doesn't have a degree in science)while she was pulling this ruse. Now that the environmental movement has been thoroughly co-opted by AGW, he accuses them of taking away the west's national sovreignty, and blows the whistle on the fudging which he must have known was going on for decades. Now no one will take an environmental scientific prediction serious for another generation. Kurt, good work, but please keep digging. In the 70's the Hudson Institute in the US was financing speakers (Edward Teller is the one I remember off the top of my head)that were hyping global warming as an excuse to build nukes. Now they jumped on the "AGW is a conspiracy to promote global governance" bandwagon.
