    The revelations of the Climategate emails caused people to actually ask questions about so-called catastrophic Man-did-it global warming.

    As to any "investigations" into the matter, the "investigations" were conducted by 'coffee-drinking' buddies of the persons of interest......hardly an independent investigation.....kinda like having your Mommy and Daddy conduct it.

    There are huge amounts of money at stake with this global warming stuff.....universities and staff people derive a lot of income from the taxpayer welfare doled out to them....not to mention the potential for more taxes and income realized by the 'support' industries of global warming......solar, wind, ethanol....etc.

    None, all the policies were come up with long before the idea was put to the public and before East Anglia Uni was paid to find a 'problem'.

    Your statements are lies, just like most denier/liars. There were several investigations that found no falsification. However, there was criminal activity by those that hacked into the emails and then took statements out of context.

    It had no effect on policy because there was no "false climate change data" - at least 5 independent inquiries have found the allegations of fraud to be straight out lies
