Not sure if this was in local news, but it was all over the internet.

While it is true emails tend to be informal it is however clear this bunch of scientists had intention to manipulate data in a non-objective way to support their own claims.

Ignore the Alex Jones guy. He's overly sensationalistic. Read the news you think are balanced and form your own opinions.

Up until now this incident is not reported in the local media. Which is understandable, given the govt's committment to fighting climate change. Afterall, APEC just ended, and climate change was a major issue during the meeting. And climate change is also a big component of the govt research efforts here.
