Climate scientists cleared of malpractice by panel

[Update: This press release came out a few weeks ago, so it's not exactly breaking news as I originally put in the title -- I removed that word. Interestingly to me, I didn't see any mention of it in the usual places I haunt, which means it's not getting the coverage it deserves. But my conclusions in this post are still solid; Climategate is a manufactured controversy, the mainstream media need to cover this, and denialists are still wrong.]
