He said he would stand aside as director until the completion of the independent review, which is being conducted in the wake of the allegations by climate ”sceptics”.

The peer review process broke down completely. and Professor Jones was responsible for this. He should lose his Ph.D. because he violated the basic tennants of peer review, abused statistical methods, eliminated data, denigrated other scientists who didn’t agree with his positions, and sponsored erroneous views that could cost humanity dearly if adopted by Copenhagen. In Academia this is called de-frocking, sometimes it is referred to as decanonization. In any case, his Ph.D should be recinded.
