Unquestionably, Climategate opened the floodgates to the torrent of scandals that have since poured out, seemingly without end. Many of the new scandals, some of them sporting \u201c-gate\u201d as a suffix, were little known before the Climategate emails were released; many were well known, but not publicized by a compliant press.
