Scientist admits leaked emails were 'pretty awful'
Activer le mode zenSteve Connor and Michael McCarthy
"The academic at the centre of the "climategate" controversy over leaked university emails admitted yesterday that some of his correspondence had been "pretty awful".
"Professor Phil Jones, the head of the of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (UEA), made the remark to a powerful cross-party committee of MPs, when challenged about saying he would not release data to a climate sceptic, "because all he wants to do is find something wrong with it."
"Defending himself in public for the first time, Professor Jones faced a fierce grilling from the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee about the emails hacked from UEA computers, which critics say are evidence of how climate scientists continually obstruct requests for information."
