Climategate is the emerging name of a developing 2009 scandal involving climate change science and the leaking/hacking of climate change related emails and documents from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia.
In November 2009 hackers accessed private files located on the CRU's servers, posting the emails they found online. Supporters of climate change denial claimed a few of the private conversations about science and the researchers' dislike of climate change skeptics reveal a conspiracy to falsify attribution of recent climate change to human activity, calling Climategate the "final nail in the coffin of 'anthropogenic global warming'." The CRU's researchers claimed that the e-mails "have been taken out of context and merely reflect an honest exchange of ideas."
Phil Jones, Director of the Climatic Research Unit, and one of those implicated in the alleged cover up, called the charges that the emails involve any "untoward" activity "ludicrous." However journalist Andrew Bolt has called it 'a scandal that is one of the greatest in modern science'.
According to the University of East Anglica, the information published on the Internet had been selected deliberately to undermine the strong consensus that human activity is affecting the world's climate in ways that are potentially dangerous. "The selective publication of some stolen e-mails and other papers taken out of context is mischievous and cannot be considered a genuine attempt to engage with this issue in a responsible way".
