It's unlikely that punishment will be handed down. Too much time had passed from the date of the FOI request to time the evidence became known. The scientists and the university should thank that quirk of British law because there is no legal limit to the fine the government could have imposed.

Cycle: Manmade climate change triggers more warming | MNN - Mother Nature Network

OSLO — Climate change caused by mankind will release extra heat-trapping gases stored in nature into the atmosphere in a small spur to global warming, a study showed.
