Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., is calling the leaked e-mails from climate scientists at a British university research unit a "theft" and "crime" that should be investigated, despite calls from Republicans to investigate the contents of the e-mails themselves -- not the way they were leaked.
One man's whistleblower is another woman's criminal hacker.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., is calling the leaked e-mails from climate scientists at a British university research unit a "theft" and "crime" that should be investigated, despite calls from Republicans to investigate the contents of the e-mails themselves, not the way they were leaked.
"You call it Climate-gate. I call it E-mail-theft-gate," Boxer said at a hearing Wednesday on the Committee on Environment and Public Works, which she chairs. She suggested that a criminal conspiracy might even be at play in bringing the once private e-mails to public light.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla, ranking Republican on the panel and a vocal global warming skeptic, has instead called for an intensive review of climate change science in light of the e-mails, which appeared to show scientists discussing the manipulation of climate research. He sent a letter to Boxer Tuesday calling for hearings.
Inhofe spokesman Matt Dempsey said Thursday that his boss continues to believe Congress should be more focused on the scientific data than the conditions of the leak, and suggested Boxer may come around.
"We think that as she looks closer at the e-mails she'll understand the importance of getting to the bottom of the scandal," he said. But he added that Republicans were "enthused" by Boxer's apparent willingness to have hearings.

THEY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT AND EXPOSED WITH HARD EVIDENCE!!!!
Now they are whining like the cowardly criminals they are. No more CAP AND TAX. No more GLOBAL WARMING hoax. And there should be no more STUPID AND GULLIBLE people that have been pouring money into this MASSIVE, EVIL scam upon society.
Now let us see the criminals, starting with Al Gore, experience the prosecution and conviction for fraud they deserve.
Boxer - too stupid to take seriously.
You time is up. Go find somewhere to play tiddleywinks and get out of the way.
The whitsleblower known only as FOI (Freedom of Information) is one of the greatest heros in the history of science.
Good Lord where do they find these idiots?
GTH Sen. Botox. You’re a disgrace
Those who have used positions of governmental authority to push this scam should receive extra penalties.
Sen. Boxofrocks is now engaging in a cover-up and should face prosecution for that as well.
Boxer is certainly stupid, but she is also corrupt. I will bet the farm that she is heavily invested in Carbon Credit scam companies that would make billions in US government contracts or mandates.
Al Gore certainly is invested, according to the UK press.
YO Box for Brains... no real HACK...
Whistleblower turned all the “Hacked” stuff to BBC.. who absolutely Would NOT do anything with it... the Whistleblower had to make up the “LOOK WHAT I HACKED” as is was the ONLY WAY they could get your LAPDOG MEDIA Interested... so you Investigate, that’s what you’re going to find.. so enjoy WASTING even MORE of OUR Money.
One or two of these filthy embezzlers need to be made examples of.

STARTING with AlBORE!!!
In a sane world Barbara Boxer would have risen no further than assistant clerk at a brassiere boutique in Queens.
Ma’am! To hell with your title!
What if the emails exposed a plot to nuke Washington DC? Would you object? There is no difference in the two. They both threaten America.
Ma’am! You need a good knock in the head!
Environmentalism is a con. What do all cons do when they have been exposed? They blame the police or the people exposing the con men/women. That is what Boxer is doing. She is angry because someone exposed the con job. She does not blame the con, she blames the ones that exposed it. She is about as trustworthy as Charles Manson.
Wonder if Babs Bouncer was in such a hurry to prosecute people who write rubber checks? Somehow I bet not...
