On 20 November 2009, emails and other documents, apparently originating from with the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia.
If real, these emails contain some quite surprising and even disappointing insights into what has been happening within the climate change scientific establishment. Worryingly this same group of scientists are very influential in terms of economic and social policy formation around the subject of climate change.
As these emails are already in the public domain, I think it is important that people are able to look through them and judge for themselves. Until I am told otherwise I have no reason to think the text found on this site is true or false. It is here just as a curiosity!
You can either search using the keyword search box above, or use the links below to browse them 25 emails at a time.

I found something on AEI too, (American Enterprise Institute)
This is just mind boggling, but of course it would be, when you think about what it would take to SCAM the whole world.
I think it is worth listening to even though the Graphs shown are rather small but the verbiage gives one some clues.....
Some very good points regarding Greenland....

CRU Crooked From The Top
Tue Nov 24 22:50:10 GMT 2009
Here's the UEA Environmental Dean talking about how he's using a leaked paper to get a grant, but for the CRU to keep it hush-hush:
"I now have a leaked document which spells out some of the research councils' thinking. I will get a copy over to CRU today. Please keep this document within the CRU5, since it may compromise the source."

CRU Email - 925823304.txt
From: Trevor Davies
To: m.kelly
Subject: Re: CRU Board
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 09:08:24 +0100
Mick,
CONFIDENTIAL
I think I'm missing out on something here (refer also to Keith's email
where he talked about "CRU being railroaded by ENV"). My recollection was
that it was agreed that I should approach Reading to see if they are up to
anything & sound out if they might be interested in talking about a joint
bid. The suggestion may have been mine originally, but I do not have
absolute recollection over that. Southampton have approached us via the
Registrar and via Peter Liss. As far as I am aware, nobody from UEA has
approached them (although I have certainly argued with Jean that we should
at least talk with them).
I now have a leaked document which spells out some of the research
councils' thinking. I will get a copy over to CRU today. Please keep this
document within the CRU5, since it may compromise the source. NERC and
EPSRC are signed up. ESRC are not yet. Given the EPSRC stake, it will
certainly be be useful to get RAL etc involved. The funding might be
2million per year. That might imply that the Councils favour multi-site,
clusters, etc, but they stress they have no preconceptions.
Given some of their requirements, the JIF bid may be useful.
An important requirement seems to be to attract an "internationally
renowned and charismatic scientist" to be overall Director. Do you think we
should sound out Schneider? Watson? ??

my opinion, as i have felt this for a long time, beginning to doubt of course, but new surfacing information like this help. Is that, global warming is a natural occurence, and blaming it on ourselves has from the nearly the beginning, developed from an idea, to a global scam, revolved around taxing every known resource, including our own breath (we emit 5ish pounds of CO2 a day), so were all contributing to the 'problem', gradually resulting in a global goverment being established through the guise of a 'climate treaty' it's happening folks, and this is a very small part of the clear evidence being hidden from us, to, well... f*** us all in the A**

It seems I am a little late to add a comment to this controversy. There is a lot of argument over the word "trick" in one of the e-mails. Personally, I am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt. What concerns me are the e-mails that expose concerted efforts to suppress publication of papers from sceptical scientists, and there is no ambiguity about what is contained in those e-mails. Michael Mann is involved in that correspondence. He was co-author of the fraudulent hockey stick graph. There are several commenters here who expressed the view that this skuldugery does not detract from the scientific efforts of the people concerned. I cannot agree with that. I believe that people who have been shown to indulge in dishonesty and deceit can not be trusted in anything they do. The process of science has always involved creating theories from available data, then making the data openly available to see if others can replicate the results, or conversely find fault in the theory. Open debate then leads to the theory being accepted, modified, or abandoned. This process has been totally corrupted by the participants in this record of e-mails. The only reason I can see for doing that is the knowledge that their theories are wrong, but they don't want to admit it for political or personal gain.
