Since the Climategate scandal establishment figures have relentlessly stymied unwelcome scrutiny by legal experts. The latest wagon-circler is Dr. Judith Curry, an esteemed member of NASA's Climate Research Committee for over three years. Now Curry has become a self-appointed apologist for the unethical and some say, fraudulent, conduct of Penn. State University’s climate professor, Michael Mann.
In an interview with Thomas Fuller of the Environmental Policy Examiner (May 4, 2010) this well-heeled establishment scientist criticizes Virginia Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, for doing his job. Somehow Dr. Curry manages to fudge the line between a deliberate pre-meditated criminal fraud and an honest mistake.
Her tirade was prompted by Cuccinelli’s legal demand for access to Mann’s records from his former employers at Virginia State University where the tree-ring researcher benefited by almost $500,000 in taxpayer funding.
The Evidence Shows Probable Cause
If anyone doubts Cuccinelli’s just cause then I suggest they read the Wegman Report, those leaked Climategate emails plus the British investigation known as the Oxburgh Committee Report.

How can you refer to Curry as a scientist?
A true scientist understands that part of the scientific process is openly sharing data with peers. Mann has not only not done that he has refused to share his ‘data’ and apparently has prevented it from being shared. This seems well known.
That Curry either does not know this, or has not bothered to make herself aware of it is inexplicable. Or, perhaps is she aware yet protecting Mann’s unscientific behaviour.
I’ve made my conclusions about Curry's behaviour.
Thank you for an excellent article.
