Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world's leading climate scientists over the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online. The computer files were apparently accessed earlier this week from servers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, a world-renowned centre focused on the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change.
Climate change sceptics who have studied the emails allege that they provide "smoking gun" evidence that some of the climatologists colluded in manipulating data to support the widely held view among the world's climatologists that climate change is real and is being largely caused by the actions of mankind. So far the veracity of the emails has not been confirmed and the scientists involved have declined to comment on the story which broke on a blog called The Air Vent.

I keep sending links to Drudge.......hope he finally wakes up and puts up on his site
Algore wept.
Hmm, the Guardian is running this story, and they are as liberal a paper as they come. It will be interesting to see how the MSM in this country covers (or doesn’t cover) this.
Bttt.
Sometimes Drudge is in a way different time zone.
“Climate change sceptics “
Illiterate too!
I gots to go clean my skeptic tank.......
Well, I hope the smoking gun on these climate change advocates has been found, but we’ll just have to wait and see what transpires.
They can’t suppress this story. It has gone viral, the 61 meg file has been downloaded across the planet and there is not stopping it now.
Look what the main culprits had to say today.. When the Guardian asked Professor Jones to verify whether these emails were genuine, he refused to comment.
Professor Michael E Mann, director of Pennsylvania State University’s Earth System Science Centre and a regular contributor to the popular climate science blog Real Climate, is another prominent climatologist who features in many of the email exchanges. He said: “I’m simply not going to comment on the content of illegally obtained emails. However, I will say this: both their theft and, I believe, any reproduction of the emails that were obtained on public websites, etc, constitutes serious criminal activity. I’m hoping that the perpetrators and their facilitators will be tracked down and prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows.”
If these were not real, they would be out already calling them frauds. Steve McIntyre from ClimateAudit.org has already examined the emails from him that were posted and declared them 100% accurate.
It’s all over the net now. Can’t wait for the “press” conference.
Have already sent the story to Senator Inhofe via email as well as my Congressman. Demanding a Congressional investigation and get these guy to testify under oath!
I wonce had a wound wot went ceptik.
>> It will be interesting to see how the MSM in this country covers (or doesn’t cover) this.
I’m keeping an eye on the Fox site — I figure they’ll have something sooner or later (maybe below the “fold”). Particularly if it’s true that the CRU guy *admitted* they were hacked and the emails were genuine, as I have heard.
These must be the same scientist that told Al Gore the tempreture of the Earth’s core was several million degrees
The tempreture of the sun’s surface is only 5500 C, 5775 K, 9932 F, no matter which scale you use millions of degrees is absurd.
Notice how the people that lie and commit fraud ALWAYS call the people that catch them in their mendacity, criminals. Die evil.
Here are two places you can get the files. One by torrent and one a straight download, respectively.

The Guardian and their sheep commenters are going into full spin mode.
Not as funny as when it happened to Sarah Palin, eh, Libtards?
So what connection does Al Gore have with these scientists and organizations that were in on the cover up?
What connection does Obama and any in his administartion have with this cover up?
Will anyone in the media ask these questions or demand answers?
Why isn’t anything coming up on a Google or Bing search for Global Warming?
