"Phil Jones, the beleaguered British climate scientist at the center of the leaked e-mails controversy, is facing fresh claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based," The Guardian reports this morning.

It investigated "thousands of e-mails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia's climatic research unit" and found "evidence that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed and that documents relating to them could not be produced."

Jones, according to the Guardian, "said he was not able to comment on the story."

If you're not up to speed on the so-called climategate story, All This Considered's Guy Raz had a conversation about it with Dr. Judith Curry, chairwoman of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, that may help put it in perspective.

And England's Telegraph has been all over the story, most recently with a report that some think the e-mails were "stolen by foreign spies."
