What is the assessment of people here about this scandal actually derailing Copenhagen?
For those of us who have been following the Climategate story, this is a must read. Someone has went to a lot of trouble to translate those sometimes difficult to decipher e-mails into understandable English. Just an excellent job.
Bookmarking. This is excellent! Thank you!
Tic, tic, tic...
The MSM will gloss over the critical issues with banalities. They will accuse the “Skeptics” of taking statements out of context.
I see similarities with the ACORN scandal and how it has been pushed aside.
If the Bush administration had less than 0.1 percent of this detrimental information come out, the liberal left and MSM would be fanning the flames for weeks on end. They would not quit till they thoroughly vilify and tarnish everyone’s reputation.
From the late lamented RightWingProfessor (now residing at Darwin Central):
Information wants to be free! This stuff looks really bad. There's a discussion of laundering money from various government programs and transferring it to Russia in ways that would evade Russian taxes. This was to avoid the horrendous Russian bureaucracy and be able to spend the money on research, but still...cash transfers, all of under $10,000, with US govt. funds? Unreal.
Can you get this to people higher up the food chain on FR, or elsewhere? This looks like the definition of money laundering on the part of Hadley CRU ("structuring" as I've heard of it, "smurfing" to others).
Cheers!

Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked [epic fraud?]
I note, ironically, that their sub-forum for this:
Global Warming and Other Junk Sciences was created many years ago they called it from the first.
From the article:
“Phil Jones says he has use Mann’s “Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series”...to hide the decline”. Real Climate says “hiding” was an unfortunate turn of phrase.”
Now that we’ve had a decade of cooling, let’s see if Real Climate will say “global warming” was an unfortunate turn of phrase.

A massive "Conspiracy to Defraud" investigation should begin immediately. You can bet your last dime that the shredders are working 24/7 at the institutions these den of thieves are running.
It looks from the comments that they received an FOI request and denied it. Then somebody hacked and got what they wanted. e-justice (and a service to all of us).
