The director of Britain's leading Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, has told Investigate magazine's TGIF Edition tonight that his organization has been hacked, and the data flying all over the internet appears to be genuine.
In an exclusive interview, Jones told TGIF, "It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails."
"Have you alerted police"
"Not yet. We were not aware of what had been taken."
Jones says he was first tipped off to the security breach by colleagues at the website RealClimate.
"Real Climate were given information, but took it down off their site and told me they would send it across to me. They didn't do that. I only found out it had been released five minutes ago."

Go to wattsupwiththat.com and read some of the emails for yourself......here is a nice one showing the 'trick' they used to make the temperature data say what they wanted. Breathtaking!

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm, Once Tims got a diagram here well send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. Ive just completed Mikes Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keiths to hide the decline. Mikes series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998. Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers Phil

I’m not sure how to express a very quiet maniacal laugh...
Too bad that the Republicans aren’t in control of the House. A congressional inquiry into the global warming hoax would make for great political theater.
Hey dingy Harry, how’s that climate bill coming along in the senate?
Here in Michigan we’ve already enacted plenty of our own versions of cap and trade legislation. I’m sure the same has happened in plenty of other states as well.
My electric bill has doubled because of it.
“At least one person that was included in some of the correspondence, Steve McIntyre of the website Climate Audit, verified the authenticity of at least some of the messages. McIntyre said, Every email that Ive examined so far looks genuine. There are a few emails of mine that are 100% genuine. It is really quite breathtaking.”
Don’t know if this item has been posted in one of the threads. From the Seattle Examiner.
The leak is confirmed as being genuine. In emails, scientists admit to faking data and "stacking the peer-review process to prevent qualified skeptical scientists from getting their research papers considered".
THIS IS VERY BIG.
You know I was thinking for a while about why in the heck they wouldn’t contact the police as soon as they discovered they had been hacked and “tons of data” was copied/stolen... My bet? They were waiting for a blackmail call!!! Can’t believe they actually just came out and admitted all the docs were genuine — saves the analysts a lot of time in regards to tracing email headers and such!
Already sent the info to my Congressman Sensenbrenner who has been leading the fight in the HOuse against this global warming nonsense
Its like the climate mafia.
Can you just imagine the TRILLIONS of dollars in government grants for research and other programs that were STOLEN because of this faked data??? Heads are going to roll — these people should ALL be in jail... I’m reading through these docs and they incriminate a LOT of people and organizations...
I can’t even begin to imagine how many people will be getting their credentials/diplomas stripped — and how the heck are they going to explain this to the WORLD???
I still can’t believe that Jones up and admitted all of it was genuine. Sounds like a guy who knew he couldn’t hide any longer... I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these people are considering doing what the stock brokers did in 1929...
Where did you access all of the Docs.
I only saw the e-mails about the hacking.

Just FYI — Here is the PirateBay Torrent Link — it is CLEAN. .zip file - approx. 61MB — fast download, lots of people “seeding”

Marty — here is the torrent link from PirateBay (you need a torrent download program to access it, and then unzip the file once it’s on your computer)

OK, back to scanning the docs... HUGE is not even the word to describe this... EPIC scandal — probably the biggest scandal in World History, really... IMHO!
