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.
