Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!

For many years, a wide variety of global scientists have formulated, refined and propagated research findings that strongly indicated the presence of global climate change, specifically global warming. In addition, the scientists claimed that humans were a major cause of global warming. These scientists predicted serious global changes that may harm much of the planet if global warming were not reversed.

A hacker broke into the email accounts of leading scientists at the University of East Anglia's prestigious Climate Research Unit (CRU) and discovered that key scientists eliminated data from their reports that may have created doubt about their theories. In addition, the scientists may have isolated other scientists who had different theories and projections about global warming. This series of events has been called "Climategate", and has cast a cloud of scandal over global warming research.

1. Was the hacker who stole and published the emails justified if the global warming research from CRU was in error? Defend you answer.

2. Were the scientists who withheld the information and isolated the opposing scientists justified if they truly believed that global warming was a serious issue threatening the planet? Defend your answer.

Explanation / Answer

1. Was the hacker who stole and published the emails justified if the global warming research from CRU was in error? Defend you answer.

Yes, the hacker who broke into the email system of Climate Reserach Unit might have found related emails, documents in form of attachments and many information must have deduced from the meeting schedules, participants and minutes of meetings which may lead to conclusion that the global warming reserach was in error and it has been played around.

Were the scientists who withheld the information and isolated the opposing scientists justified if they truly believed that global warming was a serious issue threatening the planet? Defend your answer.

No, the scientists who withheld the information and isolated the opposing scientist were not justified. If they believed that global warming was a serious threatening issue to the planet they would have proved this to the opposing scientist with the research and theories, it would not have required them to misplace and eliminate the data from the reports to prove that global warming is a serious threatening issue. Also, the research would have been strong enough to counter the opposing scientists theories and prove their own theories correct.
