A freelance researcher called Doug Keenan has accused prominent climate scientist, Professor Phil Jones of the University of East Anglia, of fabricating part of a key paper on the Urban Heat Island effect. This is one of the most important papers underpinning the claims of manmade global warming.
In the paper, Jones claimed that he sampled the temperature records from weather stations selected for having uninterrupted histories - that is to say they hadn't been moved or had their instrumentation changed and so on. This is vital for the credibility of the paper.
Keenan has discovered that for many of the stations Jones used, there are actually no records of whether there were any changes or not and says that the claims made in the paper are therefore fabrications.
Stand back and watch the fireworks.
