Fallout Over "ClimateGate" Data Leak Grows
Excerpts:
Ripples created by the disclosure of global warming files now being called "ClimateGate" continue to spread, with congressional attention growing and the head of a prominent climate change group stepping aside.
Phil Jones, the head of the Climactic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, said on Tuesday that he will relinquish his post while the U.K. school conducts an investigation into allegations of scientific and professional misconduct.
...
The reverberations have extended beyond the campus of the University of East Anglia and the CRU. E-mail messages from Michael Mann, a professor in the meteorology department at Penn State University who has argued that mankind is threatening "entire ecosystems with extinction in the decades ahead if we continue to burn fossil fuels at current rates," appeared in the leaked files. Now Penn State has opened an investigation into Mann's work, and the U.K.'s weather agency has been forced on the defensive as well.

Czarina Carol Browner
Well, here's yet another thing the unconfirmable Obama "Climate Czarina" Carol Browner got around disclosing thanks to, and one more reason for being stuffed into, a position of influence through the backdoor of a phony job not subject to Senate confirmation, even while lording over Senate-confirmed constitutional officers:
She was on the board of one of the leading carbon offset trading companies, APX.
That makes for one really big conflict of interest in her role guiding the administration's efforts to regulate carbon dioxide and force emitters to buy CO2 ration-coupons.
So, add this to her work for the Albright Group which is "secretive about its clients" (SourceWatch), violating a federal judge's order to preserve documents by wiping computers clean while at EPA (sound at all relevant these days?), and her board membership for the Socialist International's "climate" project.
Other than those I can't think of too many reasons Obama wouldn't want her subjected to disclosure requirements and scrutiny.
