BBC reporter had ClimateGate emails for weeks and said nothing

"The BBC has become tangled in the row over the alleged manipulation of scientific data on global warming.

• One of its reporters has revealed he was sent some of the leaked emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia
• more than a month ago –

• but did nothing about them.

Despite the explosive nature of some of the messages – which revealed apparent attempts by the CRU’s head, Professor Phil Jones, to destroy global temperature data rather than give it to scientists with opposing views –

• Paul Hudson failed to report the story....

It was only after the same emails were published on a blog called Air Vent that Look North climate correspondent Mr Hudson owned up in his own blog to the fact he had also had the material."...

• The BBC has long supported the view that man was destroying planet Earth.
