Federal climate scientists have been cleared by a Commerce Department investigation surrounding over a thousand leaked e-mails between American and British researchers in 2009, otherwise known as the infamous Climategate.

Similar investigations in England, as well as by the National Research Council and Pennsylvania State University, also found no wrongdoing on the part of the scientists.
