COMPUTER hackers have broken into Britain's leading climate science research centre, making public thousands of private emails between top climate change scientists.
The messages – more than 2000 emails and 3000 documents – lay bare bitter disagreements about the cause of climate change.
In one email, the head of Britain's Climatic Research Unit, Phil Jones, says he is "cheered" by news of the sudden death of a prominent Australian climate sceptic, John L. Daly, who died of a heart attack at his Launceston home in 2004.
Others show scientists referring to sceptical colleagues as "prats", "charlatans" and "idiots".
The emails also acknowledge the frustration of trying to find evidence to "prove" man-made climate change.
In one email, Kevin Trenberth, a climatologist at the US Centre for Atmospheric Research, who supports the theory of man-made climate change, says: "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment, and it is a travesty that we can't."
Dr Trenberth says data published last August "shows there should be even more warming... the data are surely wrong".
Sceptics say the emails are evidence of a conspiracy by climate scientists to bully into submission colleagues who challenge the theory of man-made climate change.
The authors of the emails, including many who contribute to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, say their words have been taken out of context.
The emails first appeared on an anonymous Russian server, after hackers apparently broke into the Climatic Research Unit's server at the University of East Anglia last Thursday.
They came with a note from the hacker, saying: "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."......

All these scientists get big bucks...Follow the money.

Typical pansy-ass beta-male boffin.
OK.....that’s the post of the week. You owe me a keyboard, dude.
That's easy to prove (or not); just release the rest of the emails and we'll have the context.
It's not just that the Anthropogenic Global Warming ™ hoax did not pass the scientific method test, let alone the test of common sense, but didn't this sick Jones clown understand that emails are ultimately discoverable?
