The Guardian is reporting that leaked emails from the University of East Anglia show some sort of cover-up.
A Guardian investigation of thousands of emails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia’s climatic research unit has found evidence that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed and that documents relating to them could not be produced.
Jones and a collaborator have been accused by a climate change sceptic and researcher of scientific fraud for attempting to suppress data that could cast doubt on a key 1990 study on the effect of cities on warming – a hotly contested issue.
Today the Guardian reveals how Jones withheld the information requested under freedom of information laws. Subsequently a senior colleague told him he feared that Jones’s collaborator, Wei-Chyung Wang of the University at Albany, had “screwed up”.
This isn’t actually new news. All this information has been in the public domain for some time. What is news is the fact that the Guardian is now getting on the band-wagon.

Does this mean that the Guardian is doing better than The Age and the SMH?

Hum, interesting. Yes, it’s true, Rafe, I think the Guardian is quicker on to the bandwagon than the Age and the SMH.
