Keenan formally accuses Wang of Fraud:
http://www.informath.org/pubs/EnE07a.pdf Keenan Fraud Allegation v. Wang
http://www.informath.org/apprise/a5620.htm Doc Links

2009-11-17 Some files from the Climatic Research Unit in England are stolen and posted on the internet. One of the files is an unredacted copy of the Report of the Inquiry Committee. Another is a submission from Wang to the Investigation Committee, which seems to have constituted Wang’s defense.
2009-11-26 I posted some comments about Wang’s submission to the Investigation Committee. The comments argue that the submission is obviously and strongly contradicted by the documentary record.

Penn State is going to investigate Climategate (http://www.usnews.com/blogs/paper-trail/2009/11/30/penn-state-will-investigate-climategate.html)
Particularly interesting is this paragraph:
Penn State officials, who will not discuss the matter, are investigating the controversy. If anything requires further inspection, the school will handle it, a spokesman tells the Daily Collegian. A panel will read every E-mail leaked and determine if climate change critics have any ground for their accusations, the report says.
“I would be disappointed if the university wasn’t doing all [it] can to get as much information as possible” about the controversy, Mann tells the Daily Collegian.
— So it looks like the school will follow the CRU crew practices of keeping everything undercover.
— Is Dr. Mann calling for Steve McIntyre to contribute testimony in the investigation?

Climate Change E-Mails Cry Out for a National Conversation
“Despite all this, ABC, CBS, and NBC have failed to even mention anything about this scandal on their news broadcasts. CNN has covered it, but has minimized any concerns. The Obama administration has also either dismissed these events as either irrelevant or just completely ignored them.”

NBC and CBS Researching Climategate; Still No Coverage
“[O]ne of my stories got some attention from both NBC and CBS. The blog that they were so interested in was “Why is “Climategate” Getting Little to no Coverage?” CBS and NBC are looking at a story ridiculing the lack of coverage of climategate, while they themselves have not covered the story.”

I thought it would be nice to have a repository where readers of the leaked emails can copy and paste what they have found.

This was buried a bit as an update on the NYT Dot Earth blog just in case you did not see it.
[UPDATE, 5:05 p.m.] Here’s a statement issued on Tuesday by Pennsylvania State University on the issues raised in the emails:
University Reviewing Recent Reports on Climate Information
Professor Michael Mann is a highly regarded member of the Penn State faculty conducting research on climate change. Professor Mann’s research papers have been published in well respected peer-reviewed scientific journals. In November 2005, Representative Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) requested that the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) convene a panel of independent experts to investigate Professor Mann’s seminal 1999 reconstruction of the global surface temperature over the past 1,000 years. The resulting 2006 report of the NAS panel (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11676) concluded that Mann’s results were sound and has been subsequently supported by an array of evidence that includes additional large-scale surface temperature reconstructions. In recent days a lengthy file of emails has been made public. Some of the questions raised through those emails may have been addressed already by the NAS investigation but others may not have been considered. The University is looking into this matter further, following a well defined policy used in such cases. No public discussion of the matter will occur while the University is reviewing the concerns that have been raised.

imapopulist (11:00:33),
Interesting bit of pre-investigation puffery for someone being investigated for evidence of wrongdoing. With supporting links, even.
Penn State might as well be announcing: “We found no evidence of wrongdoing. Some innocent, minor mistakes were made. Prof Mann had the patience of a saint, given the stupendous job he so selflessly undertook for the benefit of humanity. The record has been sealed, time to MoveOn.”
In any honest investigation involving multiple players there must be at least one skeptical investigator representing the accusing side. Suspicion of motives is necessary. There is no concern that Michael Mann will lack enough of his own apologists in Penn State’s whitewash investigation.
The concern is that everyone involved in this investigation will be Michael Mann’s apologists, supporters and enablers. The Mann puff piece above indicates that few if any findings of wrongdoing will emerge; certainly nothing so serious as Mann’s intent to defraud the taxpayers who paid for his shenanigans.
This investigation is no different than an all white 1930’s jury in the trial of a black man accused of raping a white woman; the fix is in. The school has closed ranks. The deck has been heavily stacked in favor of the school’s grant rainmaker.
There will be no justice or honest investigation unless the aggrieved party — the taxpaying public — is competently represented by a trusted individual or group. The fact that everything is being done in secret, behind closed doors, makes clear the school will do everything in its power to cover up Michael Mann’s wrongdoing.

Time is getting short and it is coming down to the fact, that soon I will have to pray to the good Lord to maintain our freedoms and not allow our leaders to sign the Copenhagen Treaty, which will take away our liberties, let go and let God-this being a challenge to our Lord and Saviour? However, while there is still time to prevent the loss of a lifetime, perhaps loss of life it’s self – I will do what I am able to fight for our freedoms! The whole Climate change agenda is a proven fraud and racketeering, but the United Nations and Globalist governments don’t care as that is just the excuse instrument they have used to ensnare us! Has everybody out there become a tree hugger? The tree will be standing 100 years from now, but will you be looking at the tree, from inside the fence of a Concentration Camp? Anyone out there want to fight and maintain their freedom anymore? Please do all you can to preserve freedom in North America!

To request that PM Harper doesn’t sign the Copenhagen Treaty, thereby causing Canadians to lose
their Sovereignty and Freedom email the PM at: pm.gc.ca
Any lawyers want to help out by filing this Copenhagen Treaty be classified as an illegal Treaty, in order to, help save Freedom in North America? ( Unlimited Promotion Opportunity Here For a Law firm to Gain a favorable high profile credibility! )
