气候门

气候研究小组电邮争议（英语：Climatic Research Unit email controversy），俗称气候门（Climategate）^[2][3]，是指2009年11月发生在英国的隶属东安格里亚大学（University of East Anglia，简称UEA）的气候研究小组（CRU：Climate Research Unit）被黑客入侵、与围绕温室效应研究相关的一系列电子邮件和档案被公开的事件^[4][5][6]。事件发生在于丹麦首都哥本哈根举行的2009年联合国气候变化大会之前数个星期，入侵者从CRU的服务器里抄走数以千计的电邮副本及电脑档案，并且透过互联网分发到世界多个地方储藏。

气候门

日期	2009-11-17
地点	英国东安格里亚大学的气候研究小组
别名	气候门（"Climategate"）
调查	House of Commons Science and Technology Committee (UK)[1] Independent Climate Change Email Review (UK) International Science Assessment Panel (UK) Pennsylvania State University (US) United States Environmental Protection Agency (US) Department of Commerce (US)
裁决	Exoneration or withdrawal of all major or serious charges

事件最初由对气候变化怀疑论者从众多电邮及档案里精挑细选出来^[7]，刊登在他们的网志上^[8]，加上专栏作家James Delingpole（英语：James Delingpole）的推波助澜，把争议事件称之为“气候门”^[9]事件，使事情如滚雪球般壮大^[7]。他们认为有关全球变暖的事件，其实背后有阴谋论在背后操控。

事件经过

2009年11月，某黑客入侵CRU的服务器，将存储在上面的个人档案以及发现的电子邮件发布于网络上^[4]（亦有人认为并非黑客所为，而是内部告发^[10]）。1996年以后的1000封以上的电子邮件以及3000份以上的内部文件被盗取。有关部门于是对此进行调查。对温室效应持有反对意见的团体认为，那些电子邮件通信是为了将气候变迁归咎于人类活动，而对数据进行篡改的密谋。他们将此事件作为科学史上的一大丑闻进行宣传，并模仿水门事件（Watergate）将此事件命名为“气候门（Climategate）”。

相关研究

公元2009年发生“气候门事件”以后，《经济学人》曾经对于这个议题提出论述。台湾的研究者从《经济学人》得知该事件以后，便试图对于台湾自公元1961至2010年的温度变化进行研究，借此确认暖化现象是否真实发生。该论者从中央气象局调阅台北、台中、台南、高雄、花莲近五十年以来的平均气温数据，并且形塑成时间序列以后发现平均气温的趋势是逐年攀升，呈现暖化现象。但是由于考量到城市地区的气温变化很有可能是热岛效应所导致，所以该论者便又调阅鞍部、竹子湖、日月潭、阿里山、玉山近五十年以来的平均气温数据，进行研究。结果显示即便这些地区已经是人烟稀少的地方，极少受到人为因素的影响，可是平均气温的趋势仍然是逐年攀升。因此该论者以为台湾的平均气温在近五十年以来的变化确实为暖化现象，并非假造。^[11]
