Climate Fraud Committee Dr. Phil Campbell Forced To Resign

Climate Fraud Committee Dr. Phil Campbell Forced To Resign.

The inquiry was set up after hacked emails from CRU scientists prompted accusations that they had been manipulating data.

In a statement, Dr Campbell said he was stepping down in order to ensure that the ability of the review team to carry out its investigation would not be called into question.
Dr Campbell, the editor-in-chief of the journal Nature, told Chinese State Radio last year that he did not believe the emails showed any evidence of improper conduct.

''The scientists have not hidden the data. If you look at the emails there is one or two bits of language that are jargon used between professionals that suggest something to outsiders that is wrong,'' he told the station.

''In fact the only problem there has been is on some official restrictions on their ability to disseminate data otherwise they have behaved as researchers should.''

In his statement last night, Dr Campbell said he had made the remarks in good faith on the basis of media reports of the leaked emails.
''As I have made clear subsequently, I support the need for a full review of the facts behind the leaked emails,'' he said.

''There must be nothing that calls into question the ability of the independent review to complete this task, and therefore I have decided to withdraw from the team.''

Sir Muir said: ''I have spoken to Philip Campbell, and I understand why he has withdrawn. I regret the loss of his expertise, but I respect his decision.''
