===Environmental agenda===

===Subverting the scientific peer review process===

From a June 11, 2008 press release at the University of East Anglia, the CRU 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>

The author 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.

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:

Twelve days after the story broke worldwide, the Climategate scandal had been mentioned by [[ABC]], [[CBS]] and [[NBC]] a total of zero times.

Nearly all of the media and liberal [[Wikipedia]] have agreed with the premise that those email files were illegally stolen by computer hackers. However, there is some strong evidence to suggest the data was released by a fellow employee, a whistleblower within the CRU. According to JunkScience.com <ref>[http://www.junkscience.com Those "hacked" released CRU files..., JunkScience.com]</ref>   

The liberal [[Wikipedia]] has cited various skeptical references to contend against factual arguments and has stated that the uncovered email files were illegally stolen by computer hackers, despite repeated requests for the data files under the [[FOIA]]. However, though unreported by the [[MSM]] and at the same time [[censorship|censored]] by liberal Wikipedia, there is strong evidence to suggest the data was released by a fellow employee, a "whistle blower" within the Climatic Research Unit.<ref>[http://www.junkscience.com Those <s>"hacked"</s> released CRU files], JunkScience.com, December 03, 2009.</ref>
