Kontroverse o e-mailech Climatic Research Unit, různými zdoji zkráceně odkazován jako Climategate, je incident z listopadu 2009, který zahrnuje hacknutí a zveřejnění e-mailů a dokumentů týkajících se výzkumu globálního oteplování na Climatic Research Unit (CRU) na University of East Anglia.[1][2][3][4]

The UN has admitted a report linking livestock to global warming exaggerated the impact of eating meat on climate change.
The outspoken chairman of the UN’s climate change body is to adopt a neutral advisory role and has agreed to stop making statements demanding new taxes and other radical policies on cutting emissions. In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report. He also apologised for describing as “voodoo science” an Indian Government report which challenged the IPCC’s claims about the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers.
Environment and Climate ministers meeting in closed session in Bali last night insisted that an independent review should be carried out following the publicising of mistakes in its last report, and a row surrounding Dr Pachauri's robust response to his critics. If his management is found to be at fault his position could become untenable.
Česká meteorologická data britští klimatologové nefalšovali. Vyplývá to ze srovnávací analýzy, kterou provedli pracovníci Českého hydrometeorologického ústavu. Věc se týká takzvané aféry Climategate, ve které mělo údajně jedno z předních světových center kompilujících klimatická data veřejnost dezinformovat ohledně globálního oteplování.
THE scientist at the centre of the “climategate” email scandal has revealed that he was so traumatised by the global backlash against him that he contemplated suicide. Professor Phil Jones said in an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times that he had thought about killing himself “several times”. He acknowledged similarities to Dr David Kelly, the scientist who committed suicide after being exposed as the source for a BBC report that alleged the government had “sexed up” evidence to justify the invasion of Iraq.
Slack security or subversion at the university may have led to 'unintentional sharing', making the police investigation pointless
Phil Jones, the beleaguered British climate scientist at the centre of the leaked emails controversy, is facing fresh claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based. A Guardian investigation of thousands of emails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia's climatic research unit has found evidence that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed and that documents relating to them could not be produced.
Aféry poslední doby ukázaly, že někteří vědci varující před globálním oteplování přehnali údaje a nafoukli tak hrozby plynoucí z člověkem vyvolaných klimatických změn. Napětí mezi alarmisty a skeptiky se tak ještě zvýšilo, a proto britský profesor John Beddington vyzývá své kolegy v deníku The Times, aby se vrátili k poctivé vědě a cenili si fundované kritiky.
Alarmisté mají najednou prázdné ruce. Phil Jones z CRU ztratil surová data za 30 let práce. Oteplilo se opravdu o tolik, co říkají? "Musíte nám věřit," prosí Phil.
"Climategate odhalilo lidské selhání pár jedinců. Tím se ale nic nemění. Oteplovací věda IPCC je založena na nezávislých studiích tisíců vědců." Hm. Je to ale opravdu tak?
Wow! That Copenhagen package really worked. Global warming has been dramatically reversed. In fact, if Al Gore could see his way to turning the heat back up just a little, most of us would be deeply appreciative… “Climate science” is the oxymoron of the century. There is not a city, town or hamlet in the country that has had its weather conditions correctly forecast, over periods as short as 12 hours, during the past week. This is the “exceptionally mild winter” that the climate change buffoons warned us would occur as a consequence of global warming. Their credibility is 20 degrees below zero.
Minulý týden ze serveru vědecké instituce CRU unikla interní komunikaci mezi klimatology na internet. Jde o více než 1000 e-mailů a desítky megabajtů dokumentů. Šéf této instituce (Climate Research Unit - CRU) novinářům potvrdil, že tyto dokumenty jsou autentické.
Uniklé e-maily klimatologů rozproudily vzrušivou debatu o tom, co je vlastně pravdy na tom démonizování oxidu uhličitého (aka CO2), který umožňuje rostlinám růst a rozvoj přírody. Jsou tu totiž jiní věrohodní vědci, kteří hovoří o blahodárnosti oxidu uhličitého pro vývoj zemské flóry. Brown, člen týmu vědeckého cara Baracka Obamy pana J.P. Holdrena, v 50tých letech navrhoval vypouštět do atmosféry oxid uhličitý ve snaze napomoci rozvoji některých rostlin a stromů. Nyní je to nebezpečný plyn.
Now that Copenhagen is past history, what is the next step in the man-made global warming controversy? Without question, there should be an immediate and thorough investigation of the scientific debauchery revealed by “Climategate.”
"Peníze z politiky likvidují nestranný výzkum o globálním oteplování," tvrdí profesor MIROSLAV KUTÍLEK, jenž se už léta zabývá klimatickými změnami. Hrozí lidstvu velké ochlazení, nebo naopak oteplení?
Je důvod, proč by nás měly vyhlídky globálního oteplování znepokojovat? Průměrná teplota Země se mění neustále. Někdy stoupá, někdy klesá a občas – např. v posledních zhruba deseti letech – je téměř konstantní. Výroky, že se klimatické změny zrychlují, jsou absurdní. Existuje všeobecný konsensus o tom, že v posledních 150ti letech průměrná teplota Země vzrostla o necelých 1.5°F. Data jsou ale nekvalitní a – vzhledem k tomu, že změny jsou malé – je snadné je libovolně modifikovat až o několik desetin procenta. Několik emailů z britského Climate Research Unit (CRU) na University of East Anglia, které způsobily takový skandál, pojednávalo právě o tom, jak tyto změny maximalizovat.
Ve středověku bylo tepleji než dnes. Aby vytvořili paniku, že naše teploty jsou alarmující a nepřirozené, ekologisté z grafů vymazali středověké teplé období. A sami to nyní přiznali. Skandál.
The classic virtues of scientific objectivity, universality and disinterestedness can no longer be claimed to be automatically effective as the essential properties of scientific knowledge.
E-mails stolen from climate scientists show they stonewalled skeptics and discussed hiding data — but the messages don't support claims that the science of global warming was faked, according to an exhaustive review by The Associated Press. The 1,073 e-mails examined by the AP show that scientists harbored private doubts, however slight and fleeting, even as they told the world they were certain about climate change. However, the exchanges don't undercut the vast body of evidence showing the world is warming because of man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
Next time you’re in an argument with someone who is totally convinced that global warming is a) man made and b) unprecedented, why not show them this brief video from Watts Up With That? Game over!
This doesn’t just bring down the scientists who wrote the emails, it brings down all the institutions and organizations that were supposed to have exacting standards and ought to have exposed this years ago. These men, whose work was so bogus, were lauded by the IPCC, published in Nature and Science, and defended by the National Academy of Science. This evidence of collusion, falsification, hiding data, and consistent deceit blows away the infrastructures of the practice of science. It doesn’t hurt the scientific method, but it destroys the premise that the IPCC expert review means anything, that peer review is capable of even picking up outright fraud, and that the National Academy of Science is functional.
The problem with the petition as a form is also a problem with the Met Office petition's substance. The purpose of the petition is to shore up scientists' authority by vouching for their integrity. But signing a loyalty oath under pressure from the government is itself a corrupt act. Anyone who signs this petition thereby raises doubts about his own integrity. And once again, the question arises: Why should any layman regard global warmism as credible when the "consensus" rests on political machinations, statistical tricks and efforts to suppress alternative hypotheses?
There is the issue of the science, which I had previously taken as given; but many people’s faith is being tested. We are often told that the science is settled. I suppose that is what the Inquisition said to Galileo. If so, why are we spending millions of pounds on research? The science is far from settled. – Lord Turnbull Dec 8th 2009
Next time some irrationalist complains about a skeptic sponsored list, that includes scientists that are not climatologists, saying such lists are irrelevant, show them this. Show them also the unspoken pressure that some signers have worried about.
Who needs tanks on the lawn when you have the Environmental Protection Agency? Barack Obama’s use of the EPA to pressurise the Senate to pass his climate change Nuremberg Decrees shows his dictatorial mentality. He wants to override Congress, which is hostile to his climate gobbledegook because it is representative of the American electorate, and sideline the nation’s elected Senators by ruling by decree, courtesy of the EPA. This is a coup d’état.
Even as Copenhagen looms, broadcast news ignores e-mails suggesting warming alarmists 'manipulated' data, conspired to destroy information and thwarted peer reviews.
In a hearing that was part sparring match and part high school science lesson, two of the Obama administration's climate change experts, John Holdren and Jane Lubchenco, testified today before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming about the validity of man-made climate change. From the start, Republicans focused the conversation on the controversial hacked e-mails from East Anglia University's Climate Research Unit in England, in which a number of scientists made remarks about limiting the dissemination of work by climate change skeptics. The research center provides data for much of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's conclusions. Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology, was among the scientists involved in the e-mails.
E-mails hacked from a climate research institute suggest climate change does not have a human cause, according to Saudi Arabia's lead climate negotiator.
The head of the UN's climate science body says claims that UK scientists manipulated data on global warming should be investigated.
The head of a British climate research institute has stepped aside after hacked emails were seized upon by sceptics as evidence that the case for global warming has been exaggerated.
The scientist at the heart of the climate change email scandal was today interviewed by police about the scandal. Two plain clothes officers arrived in an unmarked car in the afternoon and took Professor Phil Jones to Norfolk Police's headquarters in nearby Wymondham to give a statement. Sources said the interview concerned the theft of emails from the university and alleged death threats since the contents of the emails were released, adding he was being treated as a 'victim of crime' rather than a suspect in any criminal investigation.
The main lesson – according to today’s Guardian – is that ‘climate scientists’ have done nothing actually wrong but that in future they should improve their cover-up skills just in case:
Aféra s vyzrazenými e-maily, z nichž vyplynulo, že někteří odborníci na klima úmyslně přehánějí vliv lidské činnosti na globální oteplování, nabírá na obrátkách. V noci na dnešek kvůli ní odstoupil šéf britského Centra pro výzkum klimatu (CRU) na Východoanglické univerzitě Phil Jones.
STEWART: (Laughing) See, I tell you it’s nothing. He was just using a trick to hide the decline. It’s just scientist speak for using a standard statistical technique recalibrating data in order to trick you into not knowing about the decline
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based. It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years. The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.
Data byla zřejmě ukradena počátkem tohoto týdne ze serveru university ve východní Anglii z oddělení výzkumu klimatických změn, které se zabývá změnami podnebí způsobenými jak člověkem, tak přírodními vlivy. Skeptikové nevěřící v globální oteplování, kteří dokumenty studovali, teď tvrdí, že jsou „zbraní, ze které se ještě kouří“ - usvědčujícím důkazem, že někteří klimatologové tajně manipulovali s daty tak, aby podpořila tvrzení, že klimatické změny jsou jisté, a že jsou z velké části způsobený člověkem.
Australia is leading the revolt against Al Gore’s great big AGW conspiracy – just as the Aussie geologist and AGW sceptic Professor Ian Plimer predicted it would. ABC news reports that five frontbenchers from Australia’s opposition Liberal party have resigned their portfolios rather than follow their leader Malcolm Turnbull in voting with Kevin Rudd’s Government on a new Emissions Trading Scheme.
Gerald Warner has just posted about the BBC’s wobble on Climategate: Newsnight reported on the scandal in a relatively even-handed manner.
Obama administration climate czar Carol Browner on Wednesday rejected claims that e-mails stolen from a British university show climate scientists trumped up global warming numbers, saying she considers the science settled.
The University of East Anglia, whose stolen documents caused a furor of excitement among climate skeptics over the weekend, said today that it had called in police to investigate possible criminal activity. But university researchers may also find themselves in legal jeopardy if they deleted emails requested under the U.K.’s Freedom of Information (FOIA) legislation, a crime under U.K. law. The case of the climate hack began last week when an anonymous individual calling himself “FOIA” released hundreds of private emails and documents belonging to East Anglia’s influential Climatic Research Unit. In recent years, the university had been subject to a flurry of information requests from bloggers and others skeptical of man-made global warming demanding to see raw data used to calculate temperatures, as well as for scientific correspondence. The university has rejected most of the requests citing various exemptions to the U.K. public disclosure law, which took effect in 2005. It now appears a data thief may have taken matters into their own hands by copying and releasing the documents.
Lift up a rock and another snake comes slithering out from the ongoing University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU) scandal, now riding as “Climategate”. Obama Science Czar John Holdren is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal. In fact, according to files released by a CEU hacker or whistleblower, Holdren is involved in what Canada Free Press (CFP) columnist Canadian climatologist Dr. Tim Ball terms “a truculent and nasty manner that provides a brief demonstration of his lack of understanding, commitment on faith and willingness to ridicule and bully people”.
A BBC Weather presenter who was discussed by scientists in the “climategate” emails says he was forwarded the material more than five weeks before it was made public on the internet.
In the most serious admission yet in the developing story of the hacking of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, its director now admits that the content of the hacked files is in fact genuine and did indeed come from his organization. Dr. Phil Jones stated in an interview with Ian Wishart of Investigate magazine that he had known about the hack for the past three or four days. He had not called the police because he had not known which files were compromised.
Congressional Republicans have started investigating climate scientists whose hacked emails suggest they tried to squelch dissenting views about global warming. An aide to Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said investigators are studying the documents, which unknown hackers stole last week from the computer of a prominent British climate-research center.
If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That) When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at Hadley CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”.
The world's source for global temperature record admits it's lost or destroyed all the original data that would allow a third party to construct a global temperature record. The destruction (or loss) of the data comes at a convenient time for the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in East Anglia - permitting it to snub FoIA requests to see the data.
