Green Business the Professor Phil Jones Way

From the DT: Professor at centre of Climategate affair has successfully received more than £13 million in research funding.

Now that's what we call a profitable green business.

The figure is disclosed in a leaked, internal document posted on the internet by climate change sceptics who have seized upon it as evidence of a funding "gravy train" for scientists conducting research into the area.

That's some serious gravy.

The spreadsheet listing all successful grant applications made by Professor Jones was part of the batch of leaked documents. It shows Professor Jones, along with other academics at the university, received more than 50 separate grants with a value of £13.7 million from a number of funding bodies including the European Union, Nato, and the US department of energy.

Several British bodies also gave substantial sums including the Met Office, the Environment Agency, the National Rivers Authority and the Department for the Environment.

All these different bodies chucking money at CRU. They're going to be mighty disappointed if there is no global warming to show for all that wonga.
