Reactions to the incident
[edit]Climatologists
[edit]Patrick J. Michaels, a climatologist derided in the e-mails for doubting human-influenced global warming,[1] said some e-mails showed an effort to block the release of data for independent review. He said some messages discussed discrediting him by claiming he knew his research was wrong in his doctoral dissertation. "This shows these are people willing to bend rules and go after other people's reputations in very serious ways."[2] Americans for Tax Reform featured a quote from Michaels in their website headline on this controversy: "This is not a smoking gun; this is a mushroom cloud."[3]
