A segment on the Dec. 3 broadcast of BBC's "Newsnight," showed the 
implications of the story behind the so-called "ClimateGate" scandal are 
more than just e-mails concealing data, but an incompetence analyzing 
the data by way of faulty computer code.

John Graham-Cumming, a British programmer known for the open source 
"POPFile email filtering program" explained how the University of East 
Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had wholesale problems with its 
computer programming analyzing climate change data, with billion, if not 
even trillions of dollars, on the line.
