In the wake of a summer that spawned harsh heat waves and forest fires in Europe; and catastrophic floods in China, Pakistan and elsewhere in Asia, climate debate is back in the news. Debate about the significance or even existence of anthropogenic global warming featured prominently the headlines last winter during the UN climate conference in Copenhagen, the ‘Climategate’ scandal the IPCC and the Met Office were embroiled in; and when parts of Europe and the US experienced unseasonably cold temperatures. These major events were followed by a relative lull in media coverage of climate issues, punctuated by the odd…

The third and final inquiry into ‘climategate’, the scandal in which 13 years of emails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK were either hacked or leaked, has found that the CRU scientists did not manipulate data or silence criticism to reinforce the results of their research into anthropogenic global warming. The inquiry, led by senior civil servant Sir Muir Russell, did find however, that the scientists ‘were unhelpful and defensive’ regarding the investigation and that they should have been more open. From a report in the Guardian: They did not…

There seems to be a rather interesting list of suspects cropping up in regards to the big e-mail hacking incident that happened a couple weeks ago. Ridiculously dubbed as “ClimateGate”, hackers infiltrated the e-mail system of the Climatic Research Unit—a leader in climate change research—and posted some of their findings online. Things have been in a crazy uproar since the event, especially now with the COP15 conference underway. Investigations are in progress, with the U.N., the University of East Anglia and a number of others trying to find out whom exactly are behind the operation. According to the British newspaper,…

If so-called ‘climate skeptics’ think that the mainstream media is ignoring the story of the emails that were either leaked or hacked from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, then they are obviously not watching television news broadcasts or reading major publications. Climategate is everywhere. If the Copenhagen summit is mentioned, so naturally is the Climategate scandal. Amazing what the words ‘trick’ and ‘hide the decline’ can do amongst a sea of otherwise boring, presumably impenetrable scientific language – all apparently camouflage for the ‘smoking gun’ that was embodied in one deadly sentence. The liberal,…

With all the tension and unrest that’s been created from a series of hacked e-mails, the U.N. has decided to take it upon themselves to conduct their own investigation into the matter—in addition to other investigations already underway. When asked about the issue, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change chairman, Rajendra Pachauri, said that the issue raised is serious and “we will look into it in detail. We will certainly go into the whole lot and then we will take a position on it. We certainly don’t want to brush anything under the carpet”. The hacked e-mails come from a climate…
