NOAA scientists cleared in climate email review

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials on Thursday cleared scientists of charges that they manipulated data about climate change in e-mails that were stolen from a British university in 2009, triggering a climate scandal.

The Department of Commerce's Inspector General conducted the independent review of e-mails taken from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England, at the request of Republican Senator James Inhofe, a climate change skeptic.

But the review said it found no data manipulation or inappropriate procedures by NOAA scientists.

"In our review of the CRU e-mails, we did not find any evidence that NOAA inappropriately manipulated data ... or failed to adhere to appropriate peer reviewed procedures," the Inspector General wrote in a letter to Inhofe.
