Investigation Clears Climate Scientists

An investigation into the "Climategate" scandal found that climate scientists working with the government did not manipulate climate change data. The investigation was conducted at the request of climate change skeptic Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK).

The Hill: "It's the latest investigation to clear scientists of manipulating climate data after thousands of e-mails from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit were leaked in 2009. 'Climategate' has become something of a rallying call for climate skeptics, who have pointed to the e-mails to suggest there is a conspiracy among the world's scientists."
