Some of your critics say the emails revealed distortions of peer review.

Climate-change sceptics who clamoured for raw data are to get all their Christmases at once.
The Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK, recently at the centre of the hacked emails controversy, is launching a pilot study into how best to make public three major temperature data sets and detailed records of how they are processed. They will include data repeatedly requested by climate sceptics under freedom of information legislation.
It is not always obvious how complicated data sets – gathered from thousands of temperature monitoring stations around the world, for example – are turned into chronological descriptions of global warming, says Tim Osborn of UEA. The independent Muir Russell review, published this month, said the difficulties of integrating information from emails and on the servers of different institutions contributed to the accusations of malpractice at the centre of last November's climategate storm. The pilot is a response to these allegations.
It will not be as simple as putting the numbers online, as the data sets are frequently updated, and the steps leading to updates will also be made clear.
The word "Climategate" is concocted.
Either we are changing the climate or we are not changinging the climate.
The evidence suggests that we are changing the climate.
No matter how many words ending in "..gate" you concoct.
