Let me correct something - it was Tom Wigley who admitted that Keenan was right in the Climategate emails. Wigley works for Trenberth though (Wigley had previously been Phil Jones' boss at England's CRU) and Trenberth took part in an effort to smear Keenan who they regarded as a 'troublemaker.' Pointing out fraud is making trouble in the Church of Climate Scientology.

Tom Wigley to Phil Jones:

Phil,

Seems to me that KEENAN has a valid point. The statements in the papers that he quotes seem to be incorrect statements, and that someone (WCW [Wang] at the very least) must have known at the time that they were incorrect. ....
....Now my views. (1) I have always thought W-C W was a rather sloppy scientist. I therefore would not be surprised if he screwed up here.
But ITEM X is in both the W-C W and Jones et al. papers — so where does it come from first? Were you taking W-C W on trust?

(2) It also seems to me that the University at Albany has screwed up. To accept a complaint from KEENAN and not refer directly to the complaint and the complainant in its report really is asking for trouble. .....
.....

I realise that KEENAN is just a trouble maker and out to waste time, so I apologize for continuing to waste your time on this, Phil. However, I *am* concerned because all this happened under my watch as Director of CRU and, although this is unlikely, the buck eventually should stop with me.”
