Phil Jones - 'It Was Not Standard Practice to Release Data And Computer Models so Other Scientists Could Check And Challenge Research'

Phil Jones, a scientist at the heart of the ClimateGate scandal said that it was not standard practice to release the data and models to be checked by other scientists. Scientific discovery is supposed to work in the exact opposite way. If your results can not be verified or duplicated that is seen as evidence there is something wrong. What happened to all the talk about peer review?

"But yesterday Professor Jones - in his first public appearance since the scandal broke - denied manipulating the figures.

Looking pale and clasping his shaking hands in front of him, he told MPs: 'I have obviously written some pretty awful emails.'

He admitted withholding data about global temperatures but said the information was publicly available from American websites.

And he claimed it was not 'standard practice' to release data and computer models so other scientists could check and challenge research.

'I don't think there is anything in those emails that really supports any view that I, or the CRU, have been trying to pervert the peer review process in any way,' he said.
