And then there's Al Gore. Which reminds me, where exactly are their links to these "thousands of documents" the hackers posted on the Internet anyway? The Wall Street Journal certainly didn't take the liberty of providing any links to them... lol.

You've got the first example I've seen anywhere of the real 'mainstream' media though, other than just the bbc with a sob story about how poor Jones' emails were stolen and he's considering police charges

Yes, I notice this yesterday. Then it only got to Fox news. Interesting that it has moved on to other news outfits. I wonder what will become of it?

I'm not going to take sides in this but, the "hacked part" is disturbing to me.

Take a moment to think about it.

Hacked emails? Be leery of them? Sort of like the Nixon tapes?

One should not overestimate this cyber-attack regarding "global warming all a fake". As a NASA climate specialist put it (retranslated from the German translation). "Science does not work becasue we all are so nice guys. Newton may have been an ar##e, but his gravitation laws still function until today."

There is an agenda behind the plan to attack and hack these mails. It is further islluzstrated that the maisl have been posted on several climate sceptics websites. Some, maybe much - who knows - of the material may be misunderstood vby beeing communication that is not shown in the context of the discussion between the sender and the recipient.

and certainly it is that climate research sees the same ammount of prestige-hungry egos craving for fame and recognition,l not to mention posts and incomes, and thus being vulnerable to corruption, like oyu see it in any other scientific branch as well.

The point is: even although currently climate temperatures are in a plateau phase (a plateau is a temporary phase of variables no longer shpowing significant chnages), and these mails have been hacked, there is overwhelming evidence that temperatures have been climbed dramatically since the beginning of the industrial age, that this cannot be explained by natural fluctuations linked to sun activity as the decisive variable, and that the world we live in undergoes dramatic chnages now and in the forseeable future.

One must close both eyes when leaving the house not to see that.

That this coup is revealed short before the - already failed anyway - climate summit in Copenhagen also says something.

The Nixon tapes were handed over voluntarily. These emails were stolen. Who knows what happened to them between the time they were hacked and their appearance on the web.

Yeah, I see. It would help if people would make posts with halfway relevant titles
