A few days ago I posted this:
The Institute of Physics, which represents 36,000 physicists across Britain and the world, has told a Commons inquiry into Climategate that the controversial emails at the centre of the storm represent "prima facie evidence of determined and co-ordinated refusals to comply with honourable scientific traditions".
In short, the IoP has called into question the integrity of the entire field of climate change.

Well, the next day they decided to clarify what didn’t need to be clarified.
IOP’s position on global warming is clear: the basic science is well established and there is no doubt that climate change is happening and that we should be taking action to address it now.
The evidence to the Committee was focused however on the need to maintain the integrity, openness and unbiased nature of the scientific process. The key points it makes are ones to which we are deeply committed – ie that science should be communicated openly and reviewed in an unbiased way. However much we sympathise with the way in which CRU researchers have been confronted with hostile requests for information, we believe the case for openness remains just as strong.

We’ll lay aside the fact that there is a great deal of dispute about the science and that the carbon dioxide levels haven’t been rising and that water vapor and clouds are the new villians… We’ll just say hold that for later. Now, what else did the IoP say? Oh, that climate is changing. Okay, no problem. It is changing. It’s not getting warmer.
But what did the IoP say?

Let me try and break this down so that even the Leftie Global Warming Nuts get it.
The Baseball Writers of America (that’s the IoP) has just said that the team statisticians (that's the "scientists" in question) are cheating by calling singles doubles, doubles home runs and giving the home team 4 strikes before they are out…. Among other things.
So the Baseball Writers have called them to task.
In the meantime, all records for the past 10 years or so are not believable and should not be used for anything, much less as a justification to give anyone any money!
BTW – Part of this was brought up by the banned commentator, Dark Avenger. But since he is banned for other reasons it was deleted.
