Meanwhile, in the UK, we have been following the “Climategate” progress with interest. Here are some links from the coverage of the “Climategate affair” by the Guardian.
Since the exposure of 1000 private emails between climate scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and their international colleagues, the ensuing media frenzy and public accusations topped international news headlines – earning it the by now infamous title of “The Climategate Affair“. Three independent inquiries have found that the science of climate change remains true. However, they also found that there had been “serious shortcomings in the transparency with which they worked and in how they dealt with freedom of information requests” (Source: Guardian).
Yesterday, the Guardian held a public forum where 300+ people squeezed in to listen to a star panel discuss climate change and issues raised by the “Climategate affair” moderated by George Monbiot.
So almost 300 people squeezed into Riba in London last night, ready to witness a fight. Instead, they were treated to a heated argument, in the best sense of that word, with my colleague George Monbiot, who chaired magnificently, only having to threaten one heckler with ejection (yes, Piers Corbyn, it was you).
Have a read of today’s article in the Environment Blog summarizing the debate entitled ‘Climategate’ debate: less meltdown, more well-mannered argument where you can listen to a full 98 minute podcast, read brief highlights from the debate or watch a video.
