Climategate: The Jones-Keenan Affair

[Benny Peiser] 24. At no time since Keenan and Wigley raised significant doubts about the reliability of Chinese climate data has Jones taken public steps to clear up the discrepancies regarding Wang's claims and data. It is unacceptable that the scientist who disseminates a data product on which international treaties are based, as well as IPCC reports and countless government policies, should actively seek to suppress information that calls the quality of the data into question, especially after one [of] his colleagues and a leading authority has advised him that Keenan's evidence about the data appeared to be legitimate. Comparable behaviour in the private sector would be subject to severe sanction.
