>The Great Climate-gate Debate
>
>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. 
>
>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.
