Real news!
Via WUWT:
Money talks. Deprivation of money talks even louder. Remains to be seen whether funding resumes after "peer review". If it resumes, tyranny as usual. If DOE decides to permanently eliminate this funding, it will be the first sign of intelligent life in DC since 1988. ¶ 8:06 AM
The American government has suspended its funding of the University of East Anglia’s climate research unit (CRU), citing the scientific doubts raised by last November’s leak of hundreds of stolen emails.
The US Department of Energy (DoE) was one of the unit’s main sources of funding for its work assembling a database of global temperatures.
It has supported the CRU financially since 1990 and gives the unit about £131,000 ($200,000 USD) a year on a rolling three-year contract.
This should have been renewed automatically in April, but the department has suspended all payments since May pending a scientific peer review of the unit’s work.
