Hacked E-Mails Are Part of Disinformation Campaign
WASHINGTON (December 1, 2009) — Climate contrarians continue to use hacked e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Great Britain to attack climate science. The Union of Concerned Scientists has published a backgrounder factchecking the contrarians and discussing the e-mails' implications for the principles of scientific openness and scientific integrity.
The Union of Concerned Scientists puts rigorous, independent science to work to solve our planet's most pressing problems. Joining with citizens across the country, we combine technical analysis and effective advocacy to create innovative, practical solutions for a healthy, safe, and sustainable future.
