Not to be facetious, but this is HUGH and SERIES, indeed.
CRU has now admitted the data released is real and they have cancelled all existing passwords to their site.

For your ping list, hot damn!
Ruh Roh! The Hot Air Cult gets exposed once again:
The Hadley Climate Research Unit has been hacked;
An unknown person put postings on some climate skeptic websites that advertsied an FTP file on a Russian FTP server, here is the message that was placed on the Air Vent today:
We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to
be kept under wraps.We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents
The file was large, about 61 megabytes, containing hundreds of files.
It contained data, code, and emails from Phil Jones at CRU to and from many people.
I’ve seen the file, it appears to be genuine and from CRU. Others who have seen it concur- it appears genuine. There are so many files it appears unlikely that it is a hoax. The effort would be too great.
Here is some of the emails just posted at Climate Audit on this thread: http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=7801#comments

“Deep Cool” – the Mole within Hadley CRU « Watts Up With That?
“A Mole

OK, folks, guess what. I’m now in possession of a CRU version giving data for every station in their station list” .
In their refusal letter, the Met Office described adverse consequences of disclosing CRU station data, an event that apparently would let loose the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

What do the files basically say? Climate Change is a ruse to get cash?
That they were heavy in to omission, data distortion, manipulation. In a phrase, junk science. It exposes them not as cool, rational scientists, but hack true believers.
It’s bad, very bad.
This is to Climate what Bellesiles fraud in his Arming America was to gun history.

I'm ordering a truckload of popcorn for this sucker and I'm going to take up drinking so I can down it with a beer!
We have a minister for climate change here in Oz...so the entertainment factor will be right up close and personal like.
Hope it buries any cap and trade ideas Obammy has....and exposes him.
Thanks for the link!
I may have inadvertently had a hand in this millennium graph! I recall getting a fax from Jack with a hand-drawn graph, that he asked me to review. Where he got his version from, I don't know. I think I scribbled out part of the line and amended it in some way, but have no recollection of exactly what I did to it. And whether he edited it further, I don't know. But as it was purely schematic (& appears to go through ~1950) perhaps it's not so bad. I note, however, that in the more colourful version of the much embellished graph that Stefan circulated ([1] http://www.politicallyincorrect.de/2006/11/klimakatastrophe_was_ist_wirkl_1.html the end-point has been changed to 2000, which puts quite a different spin on things. They also seem to have fabricated a scale for the purported temperature changes. In any case, the graph has no objective basis whatsoever; it is purely a "visual guess" at what happened, like something we might sketch on a napkin at a party for some overly persistent inquisitor..... (so make sure you don't leave such things on the table...).
bttt
will any of these revelations see the light of day in the MSM?
SWEET!!
