The Climategate scandal revealed that corruption of climate science is a worldwide problem and is not confined to just Britain’s CRU climate research centre. For instance, it was discovered that the reported [[warming trend]] in [[New Zealand]] over the past 156 years (from 1853 to 2008) was created by man-made adjustments of the temperature data.<ref>P.J. Gladnick.

The false data was used by the [[Obama administration]] as a reason for remaining insistently stubborn on participating in the climate conference in [[Copenhagen]] in 2009-10.

The CRU scientists deliberately falsified data, and then used the results of the falsification to obtain additional research funding. This is [[criminal]] [[fraud]] under [[English]] [[Law]]. Because of the worldwide fraud revealed from Climategate and the burden it caused to the global scientific community, on December 1, 2009, [[Phil Jones]], the director of the embattled Climatic Research Unit in the [[United Kingdom]] stepped down pending investigations into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change.<ref>[~~https~~://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,578486,00.html Facing Scandal, Head of Climate Research Lab to Temporarily Step Down], ''[[Fox News]]'', December 02, 2009.</ref> On January 28, 2010, from the ''London Times'', inquiry over the Climategate emails found Phil Jones broke the law by refusing to hand over its raw data for public scrutiny.<ref>Ben Webster, Environment Editor, and Jonathan Leake.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said in its 2007 benchmark report that even a slight change in rainfall could see swathes of the rain forest rapidly replaced by savanna grassland. However, the aftermath of Climategate forced the United Nations climate watchdog to admit to intentionally publishing false claims; the IPCC claims about melting ice in the [[Alps]], the [[Andes]], and in [[Africa]] did not come from [[peer review]]ed scientific literature—but from ''Climbing Magazine'', and from a student dissertation—written by a [[climate change]] [[activist]] who was studying for a degree in [[Geography]].<ref>[[Glenn Beck]].

In 2010, as the East Coast of the United States was hammered by strong winter storms of snow and ice, [[President Obama]] claimed this as further evidence of global warming. The president of the United States ignored facts to push a political agenda. Obama lied about global warming when he said it will cause some places to "end up being a little bit cooler," due to man-made climate change.

Originally, the [[President of the United States of America|President]] was supposed to attend the U.N. Climate Conference in Copenhagen for the beginning of the conference, "bless the occasion and leave," said Roger Simon of ''[[Pajamas Media]]''. After Climategate became known, ''Pajamas Media'' reported that President Obama, "[S]witched his itinerary to be there at the end of the two weeks in order to give his blessing and impetus to the decision itself."<ref>Roger L.

The ranking [[Republican]] on the House Select Committee for Energy Independence and Global Warming, Congressman [[James Sensenbrenner]], attended the Copenhagen conference on [[climate change]] to inform world leaders that despite any promises made by President Obama, no new laws will be passed in the United States until the "[[scientific fascism]]" ends. Sensenbrenner demanded that researchers who authored the Climategate e-mails and documents that demonstrate climate change data were manipulated should not be allowed to participate in the [[U.N.]] panel on climate change. Sensenbrenner spoke during a press conference after learning of the Climategate scandal.

While U.S. [[Democrats|Democratic]] politicians downplayed the Climategate controversy, and despite the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scoffing at Climategate by suggesting it provided no basis for questioning the science behind global warming, global reactions from other countries around the world took notice of the scandal. [[Saudi Arabia]] called for an independent investigation into Climategate, warning that the scandal over stolen e-mails threatened to undermine the global-warming negotiations. "The level of confidence is certainty shaken," said the Saudi Arabian negotiator. "We believe this scandal — or what has been referred to as the ‘Climategate’ scandal — we think this is definitely going to affect the nature of what could be trusted in our deliberations."<ref>Lisa Lerer.

{{cquote|Email messages obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute via a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that the climate dataset of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) was considered — by the top climate scientists within NASA itself — to be inferior to the data maintained by the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit (CRU). The NASA scientists also felt that NASA GISS data was inferior to the National Climate Data Center Global Historical Climate Network (NCDC GHCN) database. These emails, obtained by Christopher Horner, also show that the NASA GISS dataset was not independent of CRU data. Further, all of this information regarding the accuracy and independence of NASA GISS data was directly communicated to a reporter from USA Today in August 2007. The reporter never published it.<ref>Jim Hoft.
