Bishop Hill is a widely-read blog operated by Andrew Montford, author of The Hockey Stick Illusion.
A post on the blog led to the resignation of Philip Campbell, the editor in chief of Nature from the panel. In an interview with Chinese state radio when asked about the controversy, Campbell said that he believed nothing untoward had happened. The Guardian newspaper commented "The interview, posted on the Bishop Hill blog run by the climate sceptic Andrew Montford and shown on Channel 4 News, risked undermining Muir's claim that the inquiry team was impartial"
Roger Harrabin writing for the BBC on when the Parliamentary Committee investigating the Climategate Controversy published their findings said, sceptics on the Bishop Hill website ridiculed the MPs' findings. One asked: "Is it April fools already?" With another commenting, "No-one with half a brain cell will view this conclusion as anything other than a hasty and not very subtle establishment cover-up."
Andrew Orlowski, writing for The Register after it was revealed Lord Oxburgh who had been choosen by the University of East Anglia to head its enquiry into the illegally released files from the University Of East Anglia, actually had a leading role in a global warming campaign network called Globe International. This was quickly picked up by climate skeptic blogs. With Bishop Hill writing "GLOBE - a vehicle for avoiding Freedom of information"
