Description
Climategate has rocked the scientific information community. The name refers to the immense conspiracy theory that became big news after computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) were hacked last November, and more than a 1,000 confidential emails posted on the internet. The documents showed, or so it was claimed, that CRU's scientists were involved in a massive information fraud. They stood accused of exaggerating the data about anthropogenic global warming, illegally destroying embarrassing information (CRU no longer had the raw data on which it had based its global warming predictions), manipulating research results and suppressing evidence.
