RfC re Climategate lede
I propose to revert the lede back to the last version with a clear consensus, by Dave Souza diff, 23 April 2011:


 * The Climatic Research Unit email controversy (commonly known as "Climategate") began on 19 November 2009 when thousands of emails and computer files from the University of East Anglia's (UEA) Climatic Research Unit (CRU) were made public.


 * There was immediate controversy over allegations that the emails revealed malpractice within the climate science community. Subsequent inquiries found no evidence of scientific misconduct.
