Score a win for climate science: Penn State University announced today that climate scientist Michael Mann had been cleared of all scientific misconduct charges stemming from the "climategate" emails that had been hacked from Britain's East Anglia University last fall. Here's the release from the folks at State College:

Penn State Professor Michael Mann has been cleared of any wrongdoing, according to a report of the investigation that was released today (July 1). Mann was under investigation for allegations of research impropriety that surfaced last year after thousands of stolen e-mails were published online. The e-mails were obtained from computer servers at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia in England, one of the main repositories of information about climate change.
