The scandal, known as "Climategate", rocked the scientific world.
Sceptics picked up on a small number of emails that seemed to suggest scientists had been deliberately manipulating data to exaggerate evidence of climate change.
It wasn't true, but what followed is thought to have shaped public opinion and could possibly have influenced the UN climate agreement that year.
