earlier thread on ClimateGate.
Lots of stuff. Falsification of data. Use of peer-review process to suppress critics' views. Propaganda techniques to sway emotions of the public. People need to go to jail over this.

there's speculation that with the global climate meeting in Copenhagen nearing, opponents of climate action may be going so far as to be doing illegal reconnaissance.Where do most hackers, and people that would be interested in hacking reside politically? THE LEFT.
I doubt seriously that those opposed to the radical agenda of the Global Warming fringe hacked anything. This is a simple attack by some brainy yoot or by the AGW crowd looking to marginalize further the face of skeptics.

It appeared from a Russian server, but that doesnt mean it did come from there.OK. But lots of hackers in Russia and Bulgaria
Whoever hacked into University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit was smart enough to cover his tracks
A Russian server is an non-investigatable black hole and beyond UK and American law unless someone squeals or takes credit

From: Phil Jones To: Ben Santer , wigley@ucar.edu Subject: Last week's events Date: Mon Aug 22 16:22:28 2005 Ben and Tom, Congratulations on the paper coming out on Aug 12. I did talk to Nature about the three papers. Last week seems to have been a good one to have had off. I did this because of the IPCC submission deadline of Aug 12. As you said Tom, there were some stupid messages going around. If only these people would try and write peer-review papers, provided they get proper reviews. The one from Sonia should be kept as it proves that E&E is not a proper journal. I almost missed the one with Pielke's resignation in. Is this going to make your CCSP task easier or harder? Presumably now you'll get all his comments to officially deal with. Maybe you'll be able to ignore them?

Ben and Tom,
Congratulations on the paper coming out on Aug 12. I did talk to Nature about the three papers.
Last week seems to have been a good one to have had off. I did this because of the IPCC submission deadline of Aug 12. As you said Tom, there were some stupid messages going around.

This is a real popcorn moment. The AWG “scientists” shown to be frauds, as if we didn’t already know.

I read on another link that this might be a whistle blower who released this. If that’s the case then the media will do the fastest 180 on the accuracy and reliability of them when up till now they were patriots and heroes for doing it.

I read on another link that this might be a whistle blower who released this.Would not be surprised one bit if it was an inside job. A malcontent slipped a hacker the passwords and security protocols or put the data on a flash drive himself and walked out with it. The hacker story is a good way to deflect attention from an inside job
