The academic at the centre of the "climategate" scandal, Prof Phil Jones, has said he will consider submitting a correction to his controversial work on global warming. Prof Jones, head of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), published a key paper on climate change based on temperature records from weather stations in China. However, following criticism of his research, Prof Jones has admitted that some of the paperwork underpinning his research has been lost. |

VOTERS have been turning off Kevin Rudd's emissions trading scheme at a faster rate than they have stopped believing in the existence of climate change. Although Australians overwhelmingly believe climate change exists and it is at least partly a result of human activity, there has been a sharp rise in the percentage of people who do not believe in climate change. The shift follows the collapse of the UN's climate change conference in Copenhagen in December and widespread publicity of false claims in the UN's 2007 climate change report. |

Weather stations which produced data pointing towards man-made global warming may have been compromised by local conditions, a new report suggests. The findings are set to cast further doubt on evidence put forward by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which claims the science supporting rising temperatures is unequivocal. The report co-written by Anthony Watts, an American meteorologist and climate sceptic, shows photographs of weather stations near heat-generating equipment which could be distorting their readings. Some are next to air-conditioning units or on waste-treatment plants, while one sits alongside a waste incinerator. A weather station at Rome airport was found to catch the hot exhaust fumes emitted by taxiing jets. |
