UEA Responds – And it’s the expected BS. Out of context before we put them in context. I suppose that if you aren’t a certified UEA climatologist, you can’t read. I guess I’m probably not welcome at climate school there. Thanks to WUWT again for the link.

While we have had only a limited opportunity to look at this latest post of 5,000 emails, we have no evidence of a recent breach of our systems.
If genuine, (the sheer volume of material makes it impossible to confirm at present that they are all genuine) these emails have the appearance of having been held back after the theft of data and emails in 2009 to be released at a time designed to cause maximum disruption to the imminent international climate talks.
This appears to be a carefully-timed attempt to reignite controversy over the science behind climate change when that science has been vindicated by three separate independent inquiries and number of studies – including, most recently, the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature group.
As in 2009, extracts from emails have been taken completely out of context. Following the previous release of emails scientists highlighted by the controversy have been vindicated by independent review, and claims that their science cannot or should not be trusted are entirely unsupported. They, the University and the wider research community have stood by the science throughout, and continue to do so.

UPDATE3: 9:25 AM PST – Having read a number of emails, and seeing this quote from Mike Mann in the Guardian:
When asked if they were genuine, he said: “Well, they look like mine but I hardly see anything that appears damning at all, despite them having been taken out of context. I guess they had very little left to work with, having culled in the first round the emails that could most easily be taken out of context to try to make me look bad.”
File is small for me .....less than 2 or 3 minutes to download on my FIOS connection.
Of course Mann doesn’t see anything damning in the e-mails; crroks have no moral compass.
From what I saw of the first batch of e-mails he does not need to be taken out of context to look bad. That batch was something over 1,000 e-mails, but few of them were that revealing. BUT the ones that were, told it all. They were cooking the books and playing games with honest researchers careers and funding. That is what they were exposed for doing. Bogus Science.
Is this the entire unencrypted dump?
The “Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature group” is a bunch of BUNK...
Thanks!
I think this is a batch that FOIA made available to a number of blogs....and there are more unavailable without a password ....on a website somewhere.
My daughter has my laptop for her School work...I wasn't using it!
Thanks. :)
Despite all of these revelations - they still just keep going forward as though nothing has happened.

[FOI, temperature data]
Any work we have done in the past is done on the back of the research grants we
get – and has to be well hidden. I’ve discussed this with the main funder (US
Dept of Energy) in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original
station data.

Time for Rep ISSA to probe the US Dept of Energy!
Link to the Home Page.
I took the e-mail folder and “concatenated” (cat *.txt >email.txt) the files in a single .txt file.
It appeared to be about 67 MB in size. None of it appears encrypted, but there are embedded images in the e-mails. That makes part of the e-mail look like the typical graphic file. Some were .pdf and others various types of image files.
With it all merged in a single file it is easy to navigate with at text editor. I used JuffEd and mousepad to look at it.
Right....The Masses are not informed by their favorite Media outlets.

You won’t break AES-256 (the encryption used by 7-zip) in a zillion years, but no matter, have fun trying :)
I do love the way that we all now have all of the emails, but we can’t read them until the key is released – this makes further revelations very easy to do without any more uploading of files to dodgy servers. Just the key posted on a blog and the whole lot is out.
Clever.

@TheBigYinJames
And if it’s structured correctly, each archive could contain another encrypted archive to allow the mail to be released in tranches. A bit like an electronic onion, but perhaps with more crying.

I wonder who this guy is, he is certainly very clever & patient! Was the November 09 release just a warning shot across the Clique’s bow to try & get a reaction to come a little bit clean on the realities? Is this the second warning shot now a lot closer to that bow? Is the final release the “all right matey youv’e asked for it” shot straight amidships to blow the Clique ship clean out of the water? Whatever it is, it’s going to get jolly uncomfortable & rather smelly as the steaming brown stuff flies around the interweb, for some people in East Anglia & Penn State (or is it State Penn?)! Lovely jubbly, can’t wait! :-)

Best email till now, from Phil:
Here are a few other thoughts. From looking at Climate Audit every few days,
these people are not doing what I would call academic research. Also from
looking they will not stop with the data, but will continue to ask for the original
unadjusted data (which we don’t have) and then move onto the software used
to produce the gridded datasets (the ones we do release).
CRU is considered by the climate community as a data centre, but we don’t
have any resources to undertake this work. Any work we have done in the past
is done on the back of the research grants we get – and has to be well hidden. I’ve
discussed this with the main funder (US Dept of Energy) in the past and they are
happy about not releasing the original station data.
(…)
Some of you may not know, but the dataset has been sent by someone at the Met Office
to McIntyre. The Met Office are trying to find out who did this. I’ve ascertained it most
likely came from there, as I’m the only one who knows where the files are here.
