Union of Concerned Scientists:

Today, 25 leading U.S. scientists sent an open letter (pdf) to Congress to assure lawmakers that the content of the stolen emails from England’s University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit has no bearing on scientists’ overall understanding that human activity is causing global warming.

“The content of the stolen emails has no impact whatsoever on our overall understanding that human activity is driving dangerous levels of global warming,” the letter states. “Even without including analyses from the UK research center from which the emails were stolen, the body of evidence that underlies our understanding of human-caused global warming remains robust.”

The letter’s signatories include eight members of the National Academy of Sciences, including University of California, Berkeley Professor Inez Fung; University of Washington Professor Edward Miles; and Scripps Institute of Oceanography Professor and Nobel Laureate Mario J. Molina.

Here is the letter:
