The details on this are still sketchy, we’ll probably never know what went on. But it appears that Hadley Climate Research Unit has been hacked and many many files have been released by the hacker or person unknown.. I’m currently traveling and writing this from an aiprort, but here is what I know so far: 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.

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm, Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow. I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998. Thanks for the comments, Ray
This is hugh and series!
The climateaudit.org site is overwhelmed already from people trying to get onto it. The lid has blown off Al Gore, George Soros, Goldman Sachs, the Sierra Club, and all the other scum that have been peddling the AGW myth. I sent to Drudge and if he had a lick of sense, he will have a screaming siren at the top of the page very soon.
I hope you’re right, something’s got to give somewhere.
61 megabytes of files, data, source codes, and emails. Steve McIntyre from limate Audit has been requesting data from these guys forever and they refused to release it to him They recently said it was ‘lost’ I beleive. Well it looks like some of it has been ‘found’ and the ramifications could be enormous. People’s career’s could be ruined, cap and trade could be blown up, the fraudsters like Al Gore shamed into admitting their lies, and the country a hell of a lot better off.
Can anybody spell T-R-E-A-S-O-N? Yeah; guess I did.
What’s the ftp site’s address?
They ought to put it out as a torrent. That stuff cannot be contained.
Let’s see where this leads ....
61 Meg is not real big, but only a few nuggets may make this worthwhile.
Let's see what we've got here...
I believe it was ftp.tomcity.ru/incoming/free/FOI2009.zip
But it’s gone now. I bet enough people downloaded it though.
HHmmm... FTP seems to be down already. Anyone snatch the file?
This is awesome.
Send it to Andrew Breitbart at Big Government... he was the real brain behind Drudge, don’t know if he still is, but has his own site he is growing.
this is just another prank by a disgruntled teenage
hacker who is already on his way to prison.
Nothing to see here, move along.....MOVE ALONG!
I understand from reading here........... http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=7801#comments that it is out on bittorrent already and has been downloaded across the world. If proven real, it drives a stake through the heart of AGW and should result in the likes of Michael Mann, Briffa, Al Gore, etc being tossed in jail for perpetrating the fraud of the century.
Smells like a rick roll.
If this is true prosecute Al Gore for fraud!
