The lighter side of 'Climategate'

In music video form, the folks at Minnesotans for Global Warming take on "Climategate."

On a more serious note, the release of the hacked e-mails and documents from the Climatic Research Unit at Britain's University of East Anglia is resulting in some investigations.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Phil Jones, the director of the Climatic Research Unit, is stepping down temporarily while the university conducts an internal review of the matter. Closer to home, Pennsylvania State University is "reviewing the concerns that have been raised" by the e-mails in relation to one of its own, climate scientist Michael Mann -- also featured in the above-mentioned video.

As Russell Gold of WSJ says, "Who stole the e-mails is an ongoing mystery and whether they paint a picture of scientific malfeasance or just good old-fashioned venting is a matter of heated debate."
