氣候研究小組電郵爭議（英語：Climatic Research Unit email controversy），俗稱氣候門（Climategate）[2][3]，是指2009年11月發生在英國的隸屬東安格里亞大學（University of East Anglia，簡稱UEA）的氣候研究小組（CRU：Climate Research Unit）被黑客入侵、與圍繞溫室效應研究相關的一系列電子郵件和檔案被公開的事件[4][5][6]。事件發生在於丹麥首都哥本哈根舉行的2009年聯合國氣候變化大會之前數個星期，入侵者從CRU的伺服器裏抄走數以千計的電郵副本及電腦檔案，並且透過互聯網分發到世界多個地方儲藏。
事件最初由對氣候變化懷疑論者從眾多電郵及檔案裏精挑細選出來[7]，刊登在他們的網誌上[8]，加上專欄作家James Delingpole的推波助瀾，把爭議事件稱之為「氣候門」[9]事件，使事情如滾雪球般壯大[7]。他們認為有關全球變暖的事件，其實背後有陰謀論在背後操控。
事件經過
2009年11月，某黑客入侵CRU的伺服器，將存儲在上面的個人檔案以及發現的電子郵件發佈於網絡上[4]（亦有人認為並非黑客所為，而是內部告發[10]）。1996年以後的1000封以上的電子郵件以及3000份以上的內部文件被盜取。有關部門於是對此進行調查。對溫室效應持有反對意見的團體認為，那些電子郵件通信是為了將氣候變遷歸咎於人類活動，而對數據進行篡改的密謀。他們將此事件作為科學史上的一大醜聞進行宣傳，並模仿水門事件（Watergate）將此事件命名為「氣候門（Climategate）」。
相關研究
西元2009年發生「氣候門事件」以後，《經濟學人》曾經對於這個議題提出論述。臺灣的研究者從《經濟學人》得知該事件以後，便試圖對於臺灣自西元1961至2010年的溫度變化進行研究，藉此確認暖化現象是否真實發生。該論者從中央氣象局調閱臺北、臺中、臺南、高雄、花蓮近五十年以來的平均氣溫數據，並且形塑成時間序列以後發現平均氣溫的趨勢是逐年攀升，呈現暖化現象。但是由於考量到城市地區的氣溫變化很有可能是熱島效應所導致，所以該論者便又調閱鞍部、竹子湖、日月潭、阿里山、玉山近五十年以來的平均氣溫數據，進行研究。結果顯示即便這些地區已經是人煙稀少的地方，極少受到人為因素的影響，可是平均氣溫的趨勢仍然是逐年攀升。因此該論者以為臺灣的平均氣溫在近五十年以來的變化確實為暖化現象，並非假造。[11]
