they cleared Prof Mann of misconduct last year for that "ClimateGate" stuff. is some hacker out to get them, or are they just corrupt and trying to cover stuff up?

I think there is much more corruption that goes un noticed.

Is this based on a news article or something? reliable in what aspect?

I don't know if this is what Dibs is talking about, but I just came across this

there's an article on BBC News about people releasing more of the hacked climate emails. i'm too lazy to turn on the computer to be able to copy and paste, but if they covered up the Sandusky thing for 15 years, assuming he's guilty... then i might have a decent opening to rail at the Mad Scientists responsible for creating da global warming myth. course, i'm still ain't in the mood to turn the computer on..

Found a link to the guardian story about the climate emails through http://news.slashdot.org/...-of-leaked-climate-emails

@Dibs a bunch of scientists at Berkeley used the raw data and made a new analysis (including some changes that had been suggested by climate change skeptics) and it lead to a very similar end result. So regardless of Penn State's current troubles, you're stuck with a warming earth.

thought they threw the raw data into a dumpster without making any copies of it?

I wonder why now it surfaced. Its been a long time ago. it should have been out by then when it happened. so dont get up set there is more, than meets the eye and news.

Ole Joe knwe it was going on and reported it but nothing was done about it then so why NOW??????
