A live debate in London last night bought together a panel of experts to debate what the 'climategate' affair did – and did not – reveal about the study of global warming.
The panel included:
Professor Trevor Davies, pro-vice-chancellor (research), University of East Anglia, and former director of the Climatic Research Unit.
Professor Bob Watson, chief scientific advisor, Defra, visiting professor at the University of East Anglia and former head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change;
Fred Pearce, environment journalist and author of The Climate Files: The Battle for the Truth about Global Warming;
Steve McIntyre, editor of climateaudit.org
Doug Keenan, blogger and independent researcher.
The chair was George Monbiot, Guardian comment writer.
Some parts of the debate have been edited out for legal reasons.
