If you want to know the truth about Climategate, definitely don't use Wikipedia. "Climatic Research Unit e-mail controversy" , is its preferred, mealy-mouthed euphemism to describe the greatest scientific scandal of the modern age. Not that you'd ever guess it was a scandal from the accompanying article. It reads more like a damage-limitation press release put out by concerned friends and sympathisers of the lying, cheating, data-rigging scientists Which funnily enough, is pretty much what it is.
Summary In late November 2009, more than 1,000 e-mails between scientists at the Climate Research Unit of the U.K.’s University of East Anglia were stolen and made public by an as-yet-unnamed hacker. Climate skeptics are claiming that they show scientific misconduct that amounts to the complete fabrication of man-made global warming.

The Climatic Research Unit email controversy (also known as "Climategate" ) [ 2 ] [ 3 ] began in November 2009 with the hacking of a server at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA). [ 4 ] Several weeks before the Copenhagen Summit on climate change, an unknown individual or group had breached CRU's server and thousands of emails and computer files were copied to various locations on the Internet. The story first broke in the climate sceptic blogosphere , [ 5 ] and columnist James Delingpole popularised the term "Climategate" to describe the controversy. [ 6 ] Climate sceptics argued that the emails showed that global warming was a scientific conspiracy , in which scientists allegedly manipulated climate data and attempted to suppress critics. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] The accusations were rejected by the CRU, who argued that the emails had been taken out of context and merely reflected an honest exchange of ideas. [ 9 ] [ 10 ]
Another round of leaked e-mails from the University of East Anglia’s (UEA) Climatic Research Unit have surfaced, once again illustrating why governments should not be making serious policy decisions based on mainstream climate science. Several of the following excerpts not only call into question conventional “climate change” wisdom but also suggest the selective use of information with an agenda in mind: Observations do not show rising temperatures throughout the tropical troposphere unless you accept one single study and approach and discount a wealth of others. This is just downright dangerous.
