Internal emails leaked as part of \u201cClimategate 2.0\u201d indicate the answer may be &#8220;Yes.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe original Climategate emails &#8212; correspondence stolen from servers at a research facility in the U.K. and released on the Internet in late 2009 &#8212; shook up the field of climate research.<\/p>\n<p>Now a new batch posted in late November to a Russian server shows that scientists at the University of East Anglia\u2019s Climatic Research Unit refused to share their U.S. government-funded data with anyone they thought would disagree with them.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Phil Jones asked a colleague to delete e-mails relating to a report by the U.N.&#8217;s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.<\/p>\n<p>Making that case in 2009, the then-head of the Research Unit, Dr. Phil Jones, told colleagues repeatedly that the U.S. Department of Energy was funding his data collection &#8212; and that officials there agreed that he should not have to release the data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWork on the land station data has been funded by the U.S. Dept of Energy, and I have their agreement that the data needn\u2019t be passed on. I got this [agreement] in 2007,\u201d Jones wrote in a May 13, 2009, email to British officials, before listing reasons he did not want them to release data.<\/p>\n<p>Two months later, Jones reiterated that sentiment to colleagues, saying that the data &#8220;has to be well hidden. I\u2019ve discussed this with the main funder (U.S. Dept of Energy) in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original station data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A third email from Jones written in 2007 echoes the idea: &#8220;They are happy with me not passing on the station data,&#8221; he wrote&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/scitech\/2011\/12\/16\/complicit-in-climategate-doe-under-fire\/\">Read the FoxNews.com article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/2011\/11\/22\/climategate-2-0-department-of-energy-involved-in-hiding-temperature-data\/\">Read the original JunkScience.com report.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We broke the story of this e-mail on Nov. 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate-energy"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6SqJi-23O","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7924\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/junkscience.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
