Hacked e-mails reveal global-warming fraud?

Officials at a key global warming research center in the United Kingdom have authenticated a series of e-mails and other documents apparently taken from their computer system by a hacker, but they cannot explain what scientists in internal exchanges meant by references to a "trick" that would "hide the decline" of global temperatures nor by instructions to delete contrary data.

Author James Delingpole writes in a London Telegraph column the most damaging revelations indicate climate-change scientists may have "manipulated or suppressed evidence in order to support their cause."

According to the Australian Investigate magazine, the 62 megabyte Zip file with documents, e-mail exchanges and other information from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit apparently was posted by an unidentified hacker on a Russian web server.

One e-mail said: "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd (sic) from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."

Another expressed internal doubts: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate."

Further, an e-mail exchange suggested the suppression of information: "Can you delete any e-mails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He's not in at the moment – minor family crisis."

"And, perhaps most reprehensibly," Delingpole writes, "a long series of communications discussing how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process.

Its hit the blogs, the global warming sites, the British papers, now its on Malkin and WND.

When will Drudge cover it? When will FOXnews?

and...when will MSM?

[lacrew]

I think Drudge and others are afraid it may be a hoax...of course somebody could just ask the people at Hadley to confirm or deny.

Watch them get all huffy and morally indignant about being hacked.

[Yo-Yo]

Rush Limbaugh covered it today in the first hour of his program.

[Red Badger]

They are all in shock...................

[Red Badger]

Hadley has already confirmed..............

[listenhillary]

How does the Lame stream media come up with coherent spin for this story?

[Red Badger]

They focus on the crime NOT ON THE SUBSTANCE.............

[DannyTN]

Fox has now covered it.
Do Emails reveal Scientists Claims on Climate Change are...BUNK?

[rhombus]

I thought he confirmed that yes they were hacked but didn’t confirm that the contents were accurate (in other words, not tampered with).

[icwhatudo]

This story is going viral!!! Fox has it on front page!

[BRK]

I don’t need any hacked emails to know Global Warming is a fraud. “Ye shall know them by thier solutions.” The solution for Global Warming is Global Communism, and all that’s all I need to know about it. No Sale.

[Red Badger]

There was not enough time elapsed between the time it was hacked and the time it was disseminated to have rewritten all the damning stuff........

[Skooz]

bfl

[GSWarrior]

The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't.

Proof that these idiots want global warming to be true.

[Timocrat]

Try getting any climate change treaty by the Senate now. DBA ( Dead before Arrival)

Agreed. But that will be part of the spin along with being outraged at hacking.

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.
