It seems every way we turn we see nothing but scams and corruption in the leftist organizations. Good thing we have all of those journalism students who are going to save the world by shining the light on the corruption. What would we do without them?

THIS IS HUGE

I have been following the efforts of McIntyre at ClimateAudit.com for several years now. It was always obvious to me that the Hockey Team was dissembling. Hurray for the good guys! Politics and science suck together.

Remember something like that image from my stay and NSA - an article posted on a cork BB with a cliping from the NYT - stamped Top Secret (highest level) Codeword :)

Don't count on it - the MSN will never pick it up and obsess on it - so other than a few sites and possibly a mention in passing on FOX no one will hear this story, ever.

I know one guy who is loving this - Alan Carlin, the EPA “ClimateGate” research scientist.

The Blue-Dress Moment May Have Arrived   [Chris Horner]

I am not able to fully digest this at present, catching up with the boys from days away and then up at O-Dark-Thirty for a flight to California for a talk, but check out what Anthony Watts among others have posted.

Now, none of us can attest to the validity of what has been posted on a Russian server (nor can we even be sure of how it was obtained, though it purports to be non-classified data held by a purely public agency subject to freedom of information/transparency laws). But I'm told it's almost 61 megabytes of files, and after a few days of scrutiny appears (to the kind of people who would know) to be legitimate. And very revealing, both the data and what are represented to be comments and admissions by leading lights on Team Alarmist.

If legit, this apparently devastating series of revelations will be very hard for the media to ignore. I didn't say impossible — they're fully vested partners in the global warming industry, because catastrophism sells. But so does scandal, and this appears to be the makings of a very big one. Imagine this sort of news coming in the field of AIDS research. Then reflect that the taxpayer spends more on climate-related research than on the entire suite of AIDS programs, far beyond drug research.

Now that hacker needs to get busy in Hawaii.

“This is to Climate what Bellesiles fraud in his Arming America was to gun history.”

An excellent one sentence summation, Leisler.

They’re FRAUDS. LIARS. And CON-MEN!

Lubos Motl has great verification of the IT invloved here: http://motls.blogspot.com/
Time for criminal investigations and recovery of the approximate $90B wasted on this AGW fraud.

The GRU has confirmed the ‘hacked’ data is real. The blogosphere is full of net info, I saw no MSM postings @ google as of this morn, EDT.....they will not be able to ignore this anymore than they ignored Dan Rather’s take down!!!

Whoa.

thanks for the torrent link. DLing and will be seeding this MFer all day long. Would suggest all torrent-friendly Freepers do the same.

If it bothers you remember this data is almost certainly purchased through government, i.e. public, i.e. our money.
