Is Paul Dennis The Hero Of ClimateGate?

The UK Guardian is reporting that Dennis, whose ice-core temperature studies are at odds which the Church of Carbon Come, has been questioned several times about leaking the emails and data files from the CRU at East Anglia.

Dennis refused to sign a petition in support of Jones when the scandal broke. He told friends he was one of several staff unwilling to put their names to the Met Office-inspired statement in support of the global warming camp, because “science isn’t done by consensus”.

University sources say the head of department, Professor Jacquie Burgess, received a letter from Dennis at the height of the email uproar, calling for more open release of data. He appears to have disapproved of the way Jones resisted FoI requests.

Russian hackers? A conspiracy of denialist flat-earthers? Not so much. Bwuhahahaha

If Dennis is the leaker, he deserves  a ticker-tape parade and all the rock-star accoutrements he can get. Great work, Paul–you may have saved science.
