Good-Guy Hancock Tasked With Defending Bad BCS

The following is for those concerned with newser's failure to post anything other than this football story since the Tiger Woods "Alleged Mistress" update nearly 10 hours ago: "CLIMATE GATE" EMAILS CALLED SMEAR CAMPAIGN (Reuters) Three U.S. scientists who have authored UN IPCC reports said today that stolen emails are being used by special interests to sabotage the Copenhagen climate talks and confuse the public. The authors of a new report on accelerating climate change used a conference call with reporters to defend Britain's University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU), where personal email going back to 1996 was hacked and posted on the Internet. An official CRU statement says the use of stolen data is an example of a "vexatious campaign" to distract from the "highest-quality of scientific investigation and interpretation." CRU is considered one of the world's leading institutions concerned with human-caused global warming. In the call by Richard Somerville at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Michael Mann of Penn State, and Eric Steig of University of Washington, Mann said that statements have been taken out of context to turn "something innocent into something nefarious." Prominent climate skeptic Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) says he will investigate how the U.N. IPCC "cooked the science." Inhofe said he is pleased with the timing of the controversy: "The interesting part of this is it's happening right before Copenhagen. And, so, the timing couldn't be better."
