This is a question many are asking as they work to cope with the destruction and seek a solution.

By Louise Gray Prof Jones lost his job as head of the Climatic Research Unit at the UEA after personal emails he sent appeared on the internet. The emails referred to a ‘trick’ used to interpret data and the death of a leading climate change sceptic as “cheering news.” Sceptics claimed the stolen emails showed Prof Jones and his colleagues were willing to manipulate key data to exaggerate the rise in global temperatures.
