Let's call the leaker Deep Climate and forget about which public-spirited person came forward until after he or she dies. That seems to be the elite media template, after all.

Deep Climate. Very clever.

I also liked the comparison to Martin Luther. He exposed the Church's "indulgences" scandal, whereby the people bought or earned forgiveness of sins (like carbon credits). He also published the Bible in German so the people could read it for themselves. Prior to that it had only been in Latin...the people had to rely on "scholars" to tell them what was in the Holy Book.

Wrong. The first Bible in German LONG pre-dated Luther.

Ulfilas (ca. 381)

The earliest Germanic version of the Bible was Ulfilas' Gothic translation from Latin and Greek. From Ulfilas came much of the Germanic Christian vocabulary that is still in use today. Later Charlemagne (Karl der Große) would foster Frankish (Germanic) biblical translations in the 9th century. Over the years, prior to the appearance of the first printed German Bible in 1466, various German and German dialect translations of the Scriptures were published. The Augsburger Bibel of 1350 was a complete New Testament, while the Wenzel Bible (1389) contained the Old Testament in German.

Gutenberg Bible (1455)

Johannes Gutenberg's so-called 42-line Bible, printed in Mainz, was in Latin. About 40 copies exist today in various states of completeness. It was Gutenberg's invention of printing with movable type that made the Bible, in any language, vastly more influential and important. It was now possible to produce Bibles (and other books) in greater quantities at a lower cost.

First Printed Bible in German (1466)

Before Martin Luther was even born, a German-language Bible was published in 1466, using Gutenberg's invention. Known as the Mentel Bible, this Bibel was a literal translation of the Latin Vulgate. Printed in Strassburg, the Mentel Bible appeared in some 18 editions until it was replaced by Luther's new translation in 1522.

Deep Hoax would be more descriptive. This hoax was not just a superficial obfuscation of a single research result, but instead a RICO-style conspiracy to defraud through a coordinated series of actions that started deep in the scientific process (i.e., at the raw data level) by a few scientists who were deeply involved (not peripheral players) in building the evidentiary case for a policy response to global warming of unprecedented scale (read cost), producing fraudulent model predictions that got piled so high and so deep that we were assured there was no need for further debate on such “settled” science. Anyone challenging Al Gore’s pontificating on this point was in deep doo-doo, inviting the pervasive and unceasing scorn of know-it-alls among the MSM punditry and Beltway “insiders.”
