Email to Kevin Trenberth

Quotes from the e-mails of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of East Anglia that began what is known as "climategate".

Roger Harrabin reports on Phil Jones' record keeping admissions. According to Harrabin, Jones confessed to not keeping the best of records on his global warming research.

Watson insists that the emails were taken out of context, and if they were to be placed in their proper surroundings, their authors would soon be vindicated and back on the path to advancing the global warming cause.

This piece traces the background behind the hacked emails at the University of East Anglia's CRU.

Although at one time Jones strongly asserted that global warming was a very real crisis, Phil Jones' admissions are increasingly demonstrating the reality of the opposing view.

In this TIME Magazine article, Bryan Walsh wonders if the Climategate scandal is really much ado about nothing.

Steve McIntyre presents the frustration and consternation that Keith Briffa's declining temperature models produced within the Climategate community.

It’s the very scariest claims — rapidly melting Himalayan glaciers threatening a billion people with flooding and then with drought, an increase in Katrina-scale disasters, and others – that are the ones on the shakiest ground.

Skeptical citizens may think that environmentalists cannot give comprehensible answers to their critics or that they arrogantly believe that the understanding of common people is irrelevant.

Kenneth Green points out the hypocrisy evident in those who defend the reputations of the Climategate players.

Emissions of CO2, which accounts for the largest share of greenhouse gases, grew at an average annual rate of around 2½% between 1950 and 2000.

One of the most notable emails in the Climategate controversy referred to a “'trick' and the effort to 'hide the decline.'"

The Committee found that the IPCC assessment process has been successful overall. However, the world has changed considerably since the creation of the IPCC, with major advances in climate science, heated controversy on some climate-related issues, and an increased focus of governments on the impacts and potential responses to changing climate.

This report contains two pieces which thoroughly analyze the Climategate scandal. The authors carefully explain the major background components of the issue and provide detailed information on the incriminating evidence that the Climategate emails present and demonstrating inconsistencies espoused over the years.

In this piece, Steven Hayward declares that "[t]he body blows to the climate campaign did not end with the Climategate emails." Hayward attempts to unpack the precipitous decline and fall into disfavor that the climate change issue has experienced in the past few years. He implies that Climategate exposed the IPCC and its followers as frauds.

These emails show a tightly knit cabal of scientists adjusting temperature data to conform to their political agenda; exerting pressure to censor publications going into the "peer reviewed" literature.

An article describing in greater the Climategate scandal and the issues that the scientists at the Climatic Research Unit attempted to hide.

The Climategate emails confirm Dr. Tim Ball's fears that global warming proponents were concocting false information in order to help their cause.

Lord Christopher Monckton speaks at the second International Climate Conference, addressing the so called Climategate scandal and key players involved in what appears to be one of the biggest science scams of our time.

The legitimate questions that have been raised about the processes used to generate climate change science and policy have thus far been cast aside. The reluctance to engage in conversations with people who have doubts or question the veracity of climate science is at the heart of the wrong doing that undermines trust in climate change science.

This link takes you to the complete list of emails that initiated the Climategate scandal.

I've heard Lonnie Thompson talk about the Kilimanjaro core and he got some local temperatures - that we don't have access to, and there was little warming in them.

Thanks for these comments - and while I agree with them, I do not necessarily concur on the 'fashionable' opinion these days that IPCC has made a mistake in stressing the temperature issue and the rank magnitudes of late Holocene warm periods.

Climategate 2.0 email between Michael Mann and Keith Briffa on "consensus" issues.

I never heard back from you about my comments sent on January 13 and copied below. However, I don't want to let the discussion grow cold.

To argue that the observed global mean temperature anomalies of the past decade falsifies the model projections of global mean temperature change, as contrarians have been fond of claiming, is clearly wrong.

A Climategate 2.0 email to Michael Mann from Phil Jones. Jones addresses a variety of contentions that are present amongst the various scientists in their group.

I believe you criticised the inclusion of the 2000 (Eurasian ) tree-ring series (since reiterated by Malcolm). Fair enough, though again misguided in my opinion if on the basis of 'contains few data' or 'has weak climate response'.

The whole Macintyre issue got me thinking about over-fitting and the potential bias of screening against the target climate parameter.

I especially want to avoid any suggestion that this work was being done to specifically counter or refute the 'hockey stick'.

I am afraid that Mike is defending something that increasingly can not be defended. He is investing too much personal stuff in this and not letting the science move ahead. I am afraid that he is losing out in the process. That is too bad.

The Institute of Physics believes that there are some serious revelations in the Climategate emails and are particularly concerned with the lack of scientific rigor and intolerance displayed by those who authored the emails.

A variety of investigations were established in the months following the Climategate incident, one of which was initiated by the University of East Anglia.

"In the following I will provide some general remarks on the shortcomings of the assessment process as I’ve experienced it, then provide three examples of how the process led to inaccurate information provided to policymakers, followed by a comment on temperature records and I will close with some concluding remarks."

The Climategate scandal covered from beginning to end--from 'Hide the Decline' to the current day.
