* A July 8, 2004 e-mail from Phil Jones to Michael Mann said in part: "The other paper by MM [Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick] is just garbage. [...] I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”<ref name="gibson"/> IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri stated that the papers that had been criticized were not suppressed, and "were actually discussed in detail in chapter six of the Working Group I report of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report."<ref>Peter Kelemen,[http://www.webcitation.org/5m33oK4QO "What East Anglia's E-mails Really Tell Us About Climate Change"], ''Popular Mechanics'', December 1, 2009.</ref>

===E-mails concerning scientific data===

===Skepticgate===

On January 25, 2011, Rep. [[Henry Waxman]] sent a letter to Rep. [[Fred Upton]] seeking to call in [[global warming denier]] [[Pat Michaels]] for questioning about his science and funding. In the letter, Waxman wrote that Pat Michaels testified before the Energy and Commerce Committee in February 2009 "that widely accepted scientific data had 'overestimated' global warming and that regulation enacted in response to that data could have 'a very counterproductive effect.' Among the scientists who testified before this Committee on the issue of climate change in the last Congress, Pat Michaels was the only one to dismiss the need to act on climate change ... Dr. Michaels may have provided misleading information about the sources of his funding and his ties to industries opposed to regulation of emissions responsible for climate change."<ref name=kd>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kert-davies/rep-waxman-presses-for-in_b_813251.html "Rep.
