In one e-mail dated November 1999, CRU chief P.D. Jones wrote to [[Michael Mann]], Raymond Bradley, and Malcolm Hughes:

===Environmental agenda===
From a June 11, 2008 press release of the University of East Anglia, the CRU, University of East Anglia, claimed they set the agenda on climate change with the statement, "The University of East Anglia, particularly its Climate Research Unit, is the only university to be included in a list of the key bodies that have set the environmental agenda in the UK over the past 30 years."<ref>http://www.uea.ac.uk/mac/comm/media/press/2008/june/CRU+key+to+setting+environmental+agenda</ref>
Moreover, James Randerson in the UK Guardian wrote an article that claimed, "''Western Lifestyle Unsustainable, Says Climate Expert Rajendra Pachauri''." The article was writing to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the United Nations. Randerson referenced comments about global warming made by Mr. [[Rajendra Pachauri]], the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change at the United Nations who was also awarded a [[Nobel Prize]] along with [[Al Gore]] for his work. Randerson quoted Pachauri and argued, "Hotel guests should have their electricity monitored; hefty aviation taxes should be introduced to deter people from flying; and iced water in restaurants should be curtailed, the world's leading climate scientist has told the ''Observer''."<ref>James Randerson. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/29/rajendra-pachauri-climate-warning-copenhagen Western lifestyle unsustainable, says climate expert Rajendra Pachauri], guardian.co.uk, November 29, 2009.</ref>
Rush Limbaugh pointed out who is most responsible for the environmental agenda:
{{cquote|One man, Phil Jones — and his 150-year temperature record, which is a hoax and a fraud — is largely responsible for all of this. 'Western lifestyles unsustainable.' It is an attack on capitalism, it is an attack on freedom, and it is ongoing — and it's not just happening in the global warming movement. It's happening in the [[ObamaCare|Obama health care]] movement. It's happening in the [[Cap and trade|cap-and-trade]] movement. It's happening in the card check movement. It's happening in the amnesty-for-illegals movement. Everything the left does should be seen as an attack on [[freedom]]. That's how it should be understood.<ref name=cabal>Rush Limbaugh.

===Oil===
According to [[Rush Limbaugh]], another theme of the e-mails that have been released is how people at the Climate Research Unit were constantly trying to "shake down" the oil companies (ie. Exxon, [[Shell]]) for [[money]] and for partnerships. On this reoccurring theme, Limbaugh mentioned the following:
