<blockquote type="cite" cite align="center"><font size="+2"><u><b>The
Great Climate-gate Debate</b></u></font><br>
<font size="+2"><u><b></b></u></font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Three weeks ago, thousands of emails were
hacked from servers at the Climate Research Unit at the University of
East Anglia in the U.K. A small fraction of them address
controversial issues; how to present climate data in the most
favorable light and how to combat climate skeptics, among others.
The responses reported in the press have ranged from these emails
being a confirmation of climate change deniers’ assertions that
global warming is a conspiracy and a hoax, to the whole affair being a
tempest in a teapot with no relevance to the reality of global warming
and the need to combat it. <br>
<br>
Come and listen to five experts give their views on what this really
means for climate science, the integrity of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change, public perception of climate, and the ongoing
policy negotiations in the Congress and at Copenhagen.<br>
<br>

Science, Department of Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences<br>
