Media enquiries

For the past 40 years scientists from the Climatic Research Unit have featured in the international media highlighting the latest scientific developments in the field of climate change. Please direct all media enquiries to the UEA media centre.

In 2009 and 2011, stolen CRU data and emails were published online. Details of the independent inquiries into the Climategate affair and all related submissions, statements, corrections and reports can be found on the CRU statements page on the UEA website.

Avoiding overconfidence in climate projections
Adapting to the effects of man-made climate change in this century requires a careful assessment of the uncertainties inherent in model projections of any related impacts. In a paper out in Nature today http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v511/n7507/full/nature13523.html a group of authors including one from CRU suggest that projections of when the signal of climate change will emerge from the background noise of climate variability- the ‘time of emergence’- that were made in a paper last year in Nature are overconfident; in other words their projections do not take account of the uncertainties inherent in climate projections properly. Nature have also commissioned a News and Views piece on the article http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v511/n7507/full/511038a.html
