#1 The term #ClimateGate was first coined in a critical article by @JamesDeling for the @Telegraph. Unsurprisingly, the piece has since been removed ten years ago. However, the article can still be accessed via the archive (archive.is).

One of the most circulated e-mails from the hack is the following from Phil Jones to the original hockey stick authors – @MichaelEMann, @raybradleyUMass and Malcolm Hughes.

#7 These emails were leaked 14 years ago. However, the #ClimateScam is still in full swing today as this clip reveals, and those who were involved in the scandal back then are still portrayed as experts by the media. The parallels with the Covid pseudo-experts are undeniable.
