The head of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia
has temporarily stepped down while an investigation is carried out into hacked
emails and documents from the organisation’s servers.
Professor Phil Jones has said he is taking a temporary leave of absence to
allow independent investigators to examine the details of the break-in. Around
4,000 emails and documents were stolen from the CRU’s servers and published
online.
