UEA on ClimateGate 2.0: "extracts from emails have been taken completely out of context...claims that their science cannot or should not be trusted are entirely unsupported"

Release of climate emails - November 2011 - University of East Anglia (UEA)

This appears to be a carefully-timed attempt to reignite controversy over the science behind climate change when that science has been vindicated by three separate independent inquiries and number of studies – including, most recently, the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature group.

As in 2009, extracts from emails have been taken completely out of context. Following the previous release of emails scientists highlighted by the controversy have been vindicated by independent review, and claims that their science cannot or should not be trusted are entirely unsupported. They, the University and the wider research community have stood by the science throughout, and continue to do so.
