The e-mail system of one of the world's leading climate research units has been breached by hackers.

E-mails reportedly from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), including personal exchanges, appeared on the internet on Thursday.

A university spokesman confirmed the email system had been hacked and that information was taken and published without permission.

An investigation was underway and the police had been informed, he added.

"We are aware that information from a server used for research information in one area of the university has been made available on public websites," the spokesman stated.

"Because of the volume of this information we cannot currently confirm that all of this material is genuine.

Confirmation they were hacked. Now the fraudsters are reduced to "Because of the volume of this information we cannot currently confirm that all of this material is genuine." Look for them to claim the non-controversial stuff is real, the incriminating stuff fake.

Problem is a lot of these people work for public insitutions and thus their emails are subject to Freedom Of Information Act requests. FOI law also is enforced in Britain....

Researchers at CRU, one of the world’s leading research bodies on natural and human-induced climate change, played a key role in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, which is considered to be the most authoritative report of its kind.

Played a key role in the greatest conspiracy of our time.

Here are two places you can get the files. One by torrent and one a straight download, respectively.

I wonder if they can be called to testify before the House of Commons or something like that.

The leading propagandist “ Dr.” Jones is already saying the emails do not say what they say but say something else:

When asked to explain the most damaging statement attributed to him thus far, about “using Mike’s nature trick...to hide the decline,” Jones said this:

No, that’s completely wrong. In the sense that they’re talking about two different things here. They’re talking about the instrumental data which is unaltered – but they’re talking about proxy data going further back in time, a thousand years, and it’s just about how you add on the last few years, because when you get proxy data you sample things like tree rings and ice cores, and they don’t always have the last few years. So one way is to add on the instrumental data for the last few years.

Jones also protested that this was an e-mail he had sent ten years ago.

And, just like ACORN, the liberal media is deeply concerned about HOW the information was obtained and not WHAT the information contains.

Wow! So the loser who is trolling the comment sections on all these news reports saying “I know this is a hoax because the University isn’t anywhere NEAR Hadley” is a moron? LOL

I was wrong about one thing, I thought this was a FOIA release, and now I see it reported in the press it wasn’t.

Shocking.

Too late, I already read everything.

Why didn’t they report the theft right away? Hiding something?

I downloaded the 61 meg file and am reviewing the emails now. They are obviously real, and show misinformation, deleting of emails, fudging data to fit their purposes, and a general disdain for any criticism of their work.

Sounds kind of like our new POTUS, scary stuff I am seeing.

Yes, there are multiple emails about concealing the work.

They were really scared about something called the 1945 issue with the hockstick graph
