In February 2010, the Daily Mail reported that Paul Dennis, a British climate scientist, had posted an account on Bishop Hill of his interview with police concerning their investigation into the unauthorized release of emails in November 2009 from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit.[3][failed verification]
Also in February 2010, Philip Campbell, the editor-in-chief of Nature, resigned from the Independent Climate Change Email Review—hours after the panel was launched to investigate the release of the emails—after Bishop Hill and Channel 4 News publicized an interview Campbell had given in 2009 to China Radio International, in which he said there was no evidence of a coverup.[4] The interview was first posted on the Bishop Hill blog.
