But the evidence pointing to a growing human contribution to global warming is so broad and deep that the hacked material is unlikely to erode the overall argument.

There they go again.
Substituting unsupported opinion for news.

Who cares what your opinion is Sparky?

If you can't cite above reproach data from other sources, silence would be the better strategy here.

Here is a series of articles by Thomas Sowell proving the foolishness of "studies citing other studies..." when the one study is fake or doctored; but read the whole thing at the link. It is an education...

Studies Prove...

" My late mentor, Nobel Prize-winning economist George Stigler, used to say that it could be very instructive to spend a few hours in a library checking up on studies that had been cited. When I began doing that, I found it not only instructive but disillusioning.

A footnote in a textbook on labor economics cited six studies to back up a conclusion it reached. But, after I went to the library and looked at those six studies, it turned out that they each cited some other study — the same other study in all six cases.

So, obviously, the statement that all other research centers can't also be fraudulent borders on naivete.
