This is an interesting podcast: https://corecursive.com/briffa-sep98-e/

"In this episode we explore the “Climategate” scandal that erupted from leaked emails and code snippets, fueling doubts about climate science. What starts as an investigation into accusations of fraud leads to an unexpected journey through the messy reality of data science, legacy code struggles, and the complex pressures scientists face every day."

He goes into the code/data that is seemingly the root-cause of a lot of "it's all a hoax." I found it pretty informative, as to how climate data is gathered and processed (by the scientists). And the limitations therein. He's simply trying to explain the cause of climategate, rather than advocate any view.

It's also a great example of a tech/dev investigation into root-cause analysis, of someone else's code. So it's interesting from that point of view, even if you're less interested the climate side of it.
