From the London Telegraph, via Threedonia:

Prof Jones lost his job as head of the Climatic Research Unit at the UEA after personal emails he sent appeared on the internet. The emails referred to a ‘trick’ used to interpret data and the death of a leading climate change sceptic as “cheering news.” Sceptics claimed the stolen emails showed Prof Jones and his colleagues were willing to manipulate key data to exaggerate the rise in global temperatures. The scandal, that became known as ‘climategate’, caused repercussions around the world as it was used by those who question the case for man made global warming. However a comprehensive review into the case by Sir Muir Russell, a senior UK civil servant, has cleared Prof Jones of dishonest behaviour. Edward Acton, Vice Chancellor of the UEA, immediately announced that Prof Jones will be reinstated as Director of Research in CRU, a role of similar importance to his last post. He said it was a personal vindication for Prof Jones, who has said he considered suicide over the affair. “We hope this means the wilder assertions about the climate science community will stop,” he said. However sceptics claimed the report was a whitewash and questioned the reinstatement of Prof Jones.
