The emails feature many of the same scientists – including prominent researchers at the University of East Anglia in the UK and at US universities – debating the merits of different studies and discussing text to be used in major reports.
In a statement, the University of East Anglia said: “This appears to be a carefully timed attempt to reignite controversy over the science behind climate change when [it] has been vindicated by three independent inquiries and a number of studies.â€
