Climategate Claims A Temporary Victim

Phil Jones, director of the scandalized Climatic Research Unit (CRU), is relinquishing his position temporarily until an independent review has been completed. Skeptics have to wonder if this will be a "peer reviewed" independent review? Since this resignation is temporary, expect Phil Jones to return after sufficient time and whitewash application.

FOX News reported:

The director of the embattled Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in the United Kingdom is stepping down pending an investigation into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change.

In a statement posted to its Web site, the University of East Anglia says Phil Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review into allegations that he worked to alter the way in which global temperature data was presented.
