: Sceptics claim that leaked emails reveal research centre massaged temperature data
One of the world’s leading climate change research centres has been accused of manipulating data on global warming after thousands of private emails and documents were leaked.
Hackers targeted the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and published the files, including some personal messages, on the internet.
Among the most damaging is one which appears to suggest using a ‘trick’ to massage years of temperature data to ‘hide the decline’.

Al Gore...calling Al Gore...please pick up the white courtesy phone for an inconvenient truth. Al Gore, calling Al Gore...
Haven’t seen anything about this on CNN’s website...

"The center of the Earth is millions of degrees..."

This video link starts the video at the exact spot where he says it.

algore, the snake oil salesman of the year. Stop paying him to speak he knows nothing but corruption.
All these stories are missing the larger story here.
The story isn’t that they tried to make global warming out of thin air.
The story is that they:
1. falsely improved the correlation of their data to human activity
2. suppressed dissent
3. avoided skeptics and critical reviews
4. falsified the certainty of their analysis to push for stronger action by the IPCC
and more
Because everyone is getting the story wrong, this is allowing the Global Warming Alarmists to dismiss this story in the press.
These people need drummed out of their jobs for the deception they were orchestrating.
A common thread in these emails is, “fill in the gaps”, we know it is there so we are just fixing the data so the non-scientist can see it.
These guys were so deep in it that they can’t see they are just a bunch of partisan liars.
ManBearPig!
Follow the money!
This University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit is just one of many researchers that are making a pile off this scam. They nor algore will give up this cash-cow without a big fight.
Planet Green is having algore’s movie on tonight. Weather Channel is pulling out the stops too. They gotta push all this fake data back under the rug.
I know you were being facetious, but the lefties will cover for him with that type of logic.
It was not a simple transposition error.
He was rambling on about how the center of the earth was EXTREMELY HOT and that we need to drill down several miles to get at that heat.
RICO!
I can imagine an email telling scientist to fly over the polar ice caps and dust them with rock salt to make it look like the melting is getting worse.
Everyone should report them to the FBI, this is fraud on a massive scale
I believe their defense will be along the lines of "it isn't a lie to deliberately use a falsehood, if it promotes Greater Truth."
They learn it in their required freshman year Liberal Sophistry 101 classes.
The email suggesting ‘hiding the decline’ is purported to be from Phil Jones, the unit’s director.
He denied trying to mislead, telling the TGIF digital newspaper he had NO IDEA what he meant by the phrase.
