On December 03, 2009, ''Fox News'' reported on the [[United Nations]] latest activity following the Climategate scandal. The U.N. which has been telling the world that it must cut back dramatically on its greenhouse gas emissions, and according to ''Fox News'',
{{cquote|Has finally decided to practice what it preaches." But the world body isn't coming clean on the full costs of its self-greening effort with the member states who foot the bill. After ''Fox News'' began asking questions about a pilot project that aims to start that process, the documentation concerning the greening effort abruptly disappeared from the U.N. Web site where it had been stored. Fortunately, ''Fox News'' saved PDF imaged copies of United Nations Development Goup [[Web site]] before the documents were removed, and then saved another PDF imaged copy from the same site as of December 1, 2009.<ref>George Russell.

The ''CBC’s'' Rex Murphy also discussed Climategate in an editorial on December 03, 2009.
{{cquote|...Climate science has shown to be, in part, a sub-branch of climate politics. It is a situation intolarable even to serious minds who are on side with Global warming. Such as Clyde Crook, who wrote in Atlantic magazine about this scandal as follows: 'the stink of intellictual corruption is overpowering'. Climate science needs its own reset button. And Climategate should be seen not primarily as a set-back, but as an opportunity to cleans scientific method, to take science away from politics, good causes and alarmists. And vest climate science in bodies of gauranteed neutrality, openness, real invigorious debate; and away from the lobbyists, the advotes, the Gore's, and professional environmentalists of all kinds. Too many of the current leadership on Global warming are more players that observers, gatekeepers and not investigators, angry partisans of some global ingineering, rather than the humble servants of the facts of the case. Read the e-mails, you'll think of climate science quite the same way again.<ref>[http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/03/you-wouldnt-accept-that-at-a-grade-9-science-fair-cbc-finds-a-moment-of-clarity/ “You wouldn’t accept that at a grade 9 science fair…” – CBC finds a moment of clarity on Climategate], ''WUWT'', December 03, 2009.</ref>}}

In a case of see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing, the Obama administration showed commitment to [[climate change]] legislation and at the same time dismissive of the Climategate scandal. Despite evidence that researchers manipulated data, suppressed data, and stifled dissent—revealed from the email messages from the CRU—[[John Holdren]], Obama's science czar, who is directly involved in CRU’s unfolding Climategate scandal, stated boldly, "The science is proper and this is about a small fraction of research on the issue."<ref>Dr. Tim Ball, Judi McLeod.
