氣候門清洗在繼續
The Climategate Whitewash Continues

Last November there was a world-wide outcry when a trove of emails were released suggesting some of the world’s leading climate scientists engaged in professional misconduct, data manipulation and jiggering of both the scientific literature and climatic data to paint what scientist Keith Briffa called “a nice, tidy story” of climate history. The scandal became known as Climategate.
去年11月有一全球性的抗議，當時有一電子郵件的貴重發掘物被發佈，提出世界一些領先的氣候科學家參與專業失當、數據操控和阻止科學文獻和氣候數據雙方去描繪，科學家基思布里法所稱之為氣候歷史的“一個不錯、整潔的故事“。醜聞後來被稱為氣候門。

Now a supposedly independent review of the evidence says, in effect, “nothing to see here.” Last week “The Independent Climate Change E-mails Review,” commissioned and paid for by the University of East Anglia, exonerated the University of East Anglia. The review committee was chaired by Sir Muir Russell, former vice chancellor at the University of Glasgow.
現在一個應該是獨立的證據審查說，實際上“這裡看不到什麼。”上週由東英吉利大學委託並支付的“獨立氣候變化電子郵件審查”，證明東英吉利大學無罪。檢討委員會由繆爾羅素爵士主持，前格拉斯哥大學的副校長。
Mr. Russell took pains to present his committee, which consisted of four other academics, as independent. He told the Times of London that “Given the nature of the allegations it is right that someone who has no links to either the university or the climate science community looks at the evidence and makes recommendations based on what they find.”
羅素先生煞費苦心去介紹他的委員會是獨立的，那包括四位其他學者。他告訴倫敦泰唔士報：“鑑於指控的性質，它是正確某些人是沒有和無論是大學抑或氣候科學界有所聯繫，去看證據和提出建議建基於他們發現的東西。”
No links? One of the panel’s four members, Prof. Geoffrey Boulton, was on the faculty of East Anglia’s School of Environmental Sciences for 18 years. At the beginning of his tenure, the Climatic Research Unit (CRU)—the source of the Climategate emails—was established in Mr. Boulton’s school at East Anglia. Last December, Mr. Boulton signed a petition declaring that the scientists who established the global climate records at East Anglia “adhere to the highest levels of professional integrity"
沒有聯繫？小組的四名成員中一個杰弗裡博爾頓教授，是在東英吉利的環境科學學校 18年。他的任期內開始時，氣候研究中心（CRU）- 氣候門電子郵件的出處 - 成立於博爾頓先生在東英吉利的學校。去年12月，博爾頓先生簽署一份請願書宣布，在東英吉利設立全球氣候記錄的科學家“堅持最高水平的職業操守”
