Climategate: Chinese hackers linked to 'Warmergate' climate change leaked emails controversy
Daily Mail ^ | Dec. 27, 2009 | Jason Lewis & Simon Parry

Posted on 12/27/2009 8:57:16 AM PST by Duke C.

The investigation into the so-called Warmergate emails - the leaked data from the University of East Anglia’s climate change department - took a new twist last night when The Mail on Sunday tracked the stolen messages to a suspect computer which provides internet access to China.

The address used to post the emails is also on an international ‘black list’ which highlights suspicious behaviour on the internet.

KEYWORDS: algore; china; climategate; december; globalwarming; hacker; leaks
Down towards the bottom of the article:

A source within the company said: "Because this is an open relay mail server, the emails could have been sent through it from anywhere in the world. It is just as likely to be someone outside Malaysia as someone within the country."

A lame attempt by the British press to point blame on China. LOL!

The Chinese care more about the USD than the Left and RINOs.

Whoever did it deserves positive recognition. Something akin to a Nobel prize, but not tainted with leftist idiocy like Nobel.

Again, the libs are only concerned with who "hacked" the emails, and not who wrote them and their content.

A typical, liberal, shoot-the-messenger ploy to try and discredit the message.

It would be like shooting the Domino delivery guy because the pizza was burnt.

Discrediting the hackers does nothing but show the desparation on the left to hide the message. You might as well take a Sharpie and write "Guilty" on their foreheads.

That's because it's their money.

The lefties and RINO's are just using other peoples money.

Chances that the files were assembled by a hacker who gained access to UEA servers: nil

Chances that the files were assembled by UEA IT staff in support of Freedom of Information actions: high

Chances that some insider at UEA had access to the FOA file and decided to leak the data after FOA requests were denied: very high

Chances that said insider used the Malaysian open server to get the file out: probable

The warming cultists are keen to attribute this to hackers and thereby establish some sort of moral high ground: “its all true, but it was stolen”. Since they hold leakers in very high regard, only one step below suicide bombers who kill Americans, they do not want to admit that leakers were at work here.

A Comment from the link in my post #10;
“Dr Hansern is not an impartial arbiter in this matter - He is a rather right-wing American nationalist, and his prose should be read in that light.”
BWAAAAA!

The Chinese and Russians are better capitalists and less facist then the Democrats, the Kenyan Muslim or European Islamo Left.

Classic Marxian/Stalinist tactics. Legit mate opposition must not be debated - It must be exposed and brutalized so as to discourage others from interfering with the aims of The Collective.

I'm curious why you think that...

Does adding the suffix "gate" to the outrage of the day help to spread the word, especially on the internet?

What list? Where can I see it, Mssrs. Lewis & Perry?

This is an attempt to cause the casual reader to doubt the validity of the info released as well as to try to counter the idea that it was a whistle blower production.

The climate alarmists knew what they were doing, a number of them were in on the secret, and when it gets spread out all over the world, they whine because their “privacy” was invaded.

Well, DUH! In their way, they were (and still are) as much terrorists as the crew that piloted the planes into the World Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. If their policies and recommendations are adopted, the economic wreckage and the cost IN LIVES, as the economic giants of the world crash, will be far greater.

An expert hacker can use just about any server to hide the true trail.

What this now boils down to is Gore is out. Now, explain it.

We are going to see every freaking thing known to man as an explanation to global warming and cooling.

It is the Sun, sunspots, and earth’s orbit and distance from the sun.

The earth’s axis.

Ocean and air currents

Green house gases slowing climate change

Dozens of other ticks in the earth modify the impact of the sun.

Well, the Guardian and most of its readers, is somewhere to the left end of the political spectrum.
They tend to regards "nationalism" as an inherently undesirable status. Especially if its the big bad Ol' USA....wankers all.(them I mean)

Or maybe also along the lines of a Pulitzer since it was something that was published - maybe call it a Noblitzer. It could become a popular name for a beer for beer summits, too, where the participants really don’t want to get too ripped.

The ChiComs made it pretty obvious at Copenhagen they don’t want no stinkin’ climate control restrictions.
