I’m not sure what you’re referring to. ClimateGate was about the quality of evidence for early global warming studies. It claimed that scientists were hiding bad data and evidence that their models had problems.

This seems very similar: models missing data and forcing but not being criticised when they miss a once in a century confirmation event.

No. The “scandal” was they were hiding evidence of cooling. If you don’t remember, read the article. Look at who promoted it.

Literally no one promoting that bullshit believed that models were underreporting the effects and causes climate change.

The hiding of cooling was implied in the problems in the data/models. It’s a moot point really, the scientists did some dodgy stuff, whether they were exaggerating warming or hiding cooling doesn’t make much difference to their integrity.

How could cooling be implied from climategate leaks, when climategate deniers where saying "There is no relationship whatsoever between human activities and climate change."?
