Michael Mann did "hide the decline" but it's no big deal - Minnesotans For Global Warming
When the tree ring data didn't "match reality" this means either the tree ring data is flawed or the temperature record is. Chopping off parts of a data set that don't match a theory and keeping the parts that do is not science, I'm sorry.
Climategate Investigations Are Arrogant Insults
There were two British investigations into the behavior of scientists at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia (UEA) exposed in leaked emails. Both reports provide no answers, no explanations and are only telling for what they did not ask or do and how they were manipulated. The blatant level of cover up is frightening. These are acts by people who believe they are unaccountable because they have carried out the greatest scam in history with impunity. The degree of cover up in both cases is an arrogant, in your face, statement that we are the power and are not answerable to anyone. Their cover up almost belittles the ones they are investigating.
The Climate Sceptics Party Blog (AEC Registered): ClimateGate Whitewash
Jay [Lehr] has commented on the ClimateGate Whitewash:

“It is often said in politics that the cover-up is worse than the crime. The so-called ‘Independent Climate Change Email Review’ headed by Sir Muir Russell is another attempt to ignore, deny, and excuse the misconduct of the East Anglia University Climate Research Unit and the cabal of crooked scientists who fed the global warming delusion. It is an even sadder commentary on science today than the actual collusion and fraud that was clearly perpetrated.

“The Russell report shows that in some places it is deemed business as usual for researchers to force their work in the direction they and their financial supporters desire. As recently as 50 years ago, such scientists would be blackballed for such conduct.

“The real result of all of this will not be a clean reputation for the East Anglia group and its cohorts elsewhere but rather a dramatically reduced faith on the part of the public in the important work of scientists throughout the world.”
