Enjoyed the MIT forum Sam.
Overall the actual contents of the climategate emails were touched on very lightly (which was good actually), instead focusing on concerns over the broader public image of scientists (and science) was helpful and a few very important (but too short) points were made I felt including the problem of the increasingly partisan divide in the media and the treatment of climate change in lower education as a belief structure.
Lindzen's 'cleanhouse' comment (towards the end of the video) was the most directly relevent here though, imo
