Abstract
⺠Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork within climate research institutions, I offer insights into how scientists grapple with the event known as “climategate”. ⺠I challenge the modern notion of climate science as a pursuit of truth above worldly affairs, upon which “climategate” is predicated. ⺠I show that the “contextual defense” mounted by climate scientists is at best naive. ⺠I conclude that the problem of “climategate” is not so much the ways in which science is conducted, but rather how scientists depict their own practices.
