"A row has broken over illegally obtained emails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (UEA). The emails, written by some of the most respected scientists in the field, were hacked and leaked, and have been seized upon by climate change sceptics who say they suggest that there is manipulation of data by climate change scientists. UEA Professor Robert Watson discusses the incident."Oddly no mention of Lord Lawson who was the other interviewer, maybe the BBC would rather not give climate changer sceptics the oxygen of publicity.

And the story has now disappeared from the BBC website
Having dealt with the UEA Climate Research Centre hack as a story about hacking and not detailing any of the emails uncovered by the hack, the BBC have now dropped the story altogether from their Science and Environment home page. It would seem that the BBC are being very careful to drop this story as quickly as possible. There was a 6:25 piece on the Today programme this morning not that you would know it from The Today programme's front page. Do take a listen to the piece at 07:35 today (link here) and get the full feeling for how the BBC so want this story to disappear. The piece is described thus:

The story does still appear (for me anyway) in the 'other top stories' section to the top right of the technology page of their site.
Ah I was looking at Science and Environment as it was a Climate Change story...
When they first reported it the story did appear in both sub-sections.
As you say, obviously not a Climate Change story ;o)
The BBC might be biased but they are not stupid.
