Here's to the East Anglia hacker!!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Post Office should issue a stamp in his (or her) honor.

[Radagast the Fool]

Was it really a hacker?

I thought the emails were obtained through the UK’s version of the Freedom of Info Act??

I could be wrong, of course...

[Fresh Wind]

Probably an inside job, not a hacker.

[highlander_UW]

There has never been a determination rather it was hacked or leaked as far as I know. In fact, one can predict how an article will go from just about the first sentence when one reads “hacked” or “leaked” memos.

[camle]

don’t forget the ‘new media’ without which the story would never have seen the light of day/

[silverleaf]

Let’s hope he worked for one of the world’s larger intelligence services whose country had had enough of the BS about restricting development and paying tribute money into a UN fund

and shall remain a nameless hero

[ReneeLynn]

Whoever, however, whyever...bless you whistle blower. The house of cards in falling.

[kidd]

There is pretty good reason to believe that no hacking was involved.

Either an insider made the information available (unlikely), or
the files were placed on an unsecured part of a server.

Steve McIntyre deserves most of the credit. His search for the truth, statistical review and requests for information seems to be the subject of many of the emails and may have been a reason why all the emails were so neatly bundled in the first place.

KGB?

[Danae]

It was most likely the Russians.

It didn’t end up on a Russian server by accident.

[bmwcyle]

From what I hear it is a Russian who is stationed in the far east. I would like to shake their hand.

[fightinJAG]

This dude is the Scott Brown of global warming!

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

4 global warming tanks and the lone hacker............

It's the four corners of deceit! The 4 tanks of deceit:

1. Government

2. Academia

3. Media

4. Science

[Little Ray]

I’ll go have a toast for him!

[Pan_Yan]

Thank you.

[Oldpuppymax]

This guy cost a lot of people a WHOLE lot of money and power by exposing global warming as the fraud it has always been. No wonder he does not want his ID known.

[Sprite518]

Agree, but I wonder if it was the Russian government? After all they had a lot to lose in Oil sales.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Yes! If not for the East Anglia Hacker, the idiots like algore could hide behind the mantra of “science” even though normal folks knew it was a bunch of BS. Now they are forced to come up with a different load of BS to defend their idiotic position.

[raymcc]

Agreed! Now we just need a patriotic hacker to obtain certain “Occidental” college records and post them on servers outside the US............

[Para-Ord.45]

Take algore`s nobel prize away from him and give it to the leaker.

This leaker is now an historical figure.
