University of East Anglia Climate Change Group Cleared of data manipulation

So the inquiry has said that Research group hanot manipulated data and that it's reputation is intact.

They've criticized it for not responding enough to freedom of information requests (although the newspapers seem to have missed the fact that the 3 man team were getting at one point more than one a week and couldn't cope with them) but none of this in any way undermines the basic work that they've done.

Will all the skeptics accept this investigation or will they act as normal conspiracy theorists and call anything which challenges their prejudices a cover up.

Perhaps now there can be an investigation into this

Maybe then we can catch the criminals responsible for the hacking

What surprises me is how they were able to get such accurate measurements a 1000 years ago. We were not even able to get a decent time until Harrison did his work on the clock mechanism only 200 years ago.

Climate can be measured back using tree ring analysis - as some trees are preserved as cut timber or in acidic bogs, the trail of overlapping tree ring patterns stretches back many thousands of years.
