Professor Phil Jones it seems is being passed off as some sort of absentminded professor type. Quoting the article: “The academic at the centre of the ‘Cimategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.”
And this as well, ” Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.
Professor Jones has stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit.
