Climate scientists accused of ‘manipulating global warming data’
The material was taken from servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit – a world-renowned climate change research center – before it was published on websites run by climate change skeptics.
It has been claimed that the emails show that scientists manipulated data to bolster their argument that global warming is genuine and is being caused by human actions.
One email seized upon by skeptics as supposed evidence of this, refers to a “trick” being employed to massage temperature statistics to “hide the decline”.
The university yesterday confirmed that research data had been stolen and published online and said it had reported the security breach to police.
