A top UN panel is to probe claims that British scientists sought to suppress data backing climate change sceptics' views, its head said on Friday ahead of the landmark Copenhagen summit.
Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said the claims -- which led a top expert to leave his post temporarily this week -- were serious and needed to be investigated.
"We certainly don't want to brush anything under the carpet. This is a serious issue and we will look into it in detail," he added.
Nothoing like internal investigations; they tend to lead no where.
I would like to see an independent panel of scientists from varying fields, equally distributed between believers and skeptics to investigate this scandal. That will never happen of course. Instead, Jones was predicted to be the fall-guy and he was. And you can bet that the investigating U.N. panel will most certainly sweep anything that might convict one of their own under rug without a second thought.
As you can tell, I do not trust the U.N....period.
