"The e-mails leaked from the University of East Anglia's Climatic
Research Unit (CRU) in November presented an early Christmas present to
climate-change denialists. Amid the more than 1,000 messages were
several controversial comments that — taken out of context — seemingly
indicate that climate scientists have been hiding a mound of dirty
laundry from the public.

"A fuller reading of the e-mails from CRU in Norwich, UK, does show a
sobering amount of rude behaviour and verbal faux pas, but nothing that
challenges the scientific consensus of climate change. Still, the
incident provides a good opportunity to point out that — as in any
active field of inquiry — there are some major gaps in the understanding
of climate science. In its most recent report in 2007, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted 54 'key
uncertainties' that complicate climate science.

Then you should rest assured that Parliament will only but reassure us
of your assertion.http://www.parliament.uk/parliamenta...ce_technology/...

In the interest of getting to the full truth, I am sure that you will
be happy to learn that Congress will also be taking a hard look at the
US Department of Energy's ties to UEA CRU.

"Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) is pressing Energy Secretary Steven Chu for
information about department ties to the U.K. climate institute at the
center of the controversy over the infamous hacked climate science
emails.

Barton, the top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, and
Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) wrote to Chu Friday asking about DoE funding
for projects connected to the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the
University of East Anglia.

Emails among scientists connected to CRU made public last year
prompted allegations by climate skeptics -- including Barton and
several other Republicans -- that the researchers squelched
inconvenient data. But many scientists and Obama administration
officials say the emails have done nothing to dent evidence of human-
induced global warming."
