Beam me to Planet Gore !
Al Gore wants to become the first 'green' Billionaire by forcing higher energy costs and a lower standard of living on us. The curtain has now been lifted, the emails show just how pernicious the connection between the 'scientists' providing the 'proof' of AGW and the 'green' alternative energy companies who stand to benefit from AGW is.
The envirowackos deride big oil funding skeptics, when in reality, it is big 'green' that is funding the scientists who are manufacturing data out of thin air to support the AGW theory. Game will be over soon, because the data leaked will be even more incriminating than the emails. The data will be gone over and shown to have been manipulated by Briffa, mann, Jones, et al to get the results they want.
Stupid question. Allow me. Why aren’t the big oil companies all over this?
The hacking was done so well for political effect I wonder if an intelligence agency was involved, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, or even Big Oil. The involvement of a Russian FTP server was a nice touch.
Govt-Funded Research Unit Destroyed Original Climate Data
The actual charges against them were refusing to share their data and the selective, incomplete disclosure of data in a manner that favored the AGW hypothesis.

Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked –[epic fraud?]
I note, ironically, that their sub-forum for this:
“Global Warming and Other Junk Sciences” was created many years ago— they called it from the first.

Don’t let ‘em fool ya - they were funded by “big oil”, too.
See this exchange on Real Climate:
#741 We have seen the deniers amp up their attacks since June, leading to this crescendo … all of it aimed directly at blowing up Copenhagan and its prospective Kyoto-II Climate Treaty. The gloves are truly off. This is open warfare funded by Exxon-Mobil et al. It creates a “High Noon” scenario, with the swarm of denialists due on the train at noon armed to the teeth and ready to take out Gary Cooper.....” [snip]

# 770 Let´s put the tiresome ¨Big Oil funds deniers¨ canard to bed. From the docs folder of FOIA. …………………………………………………………………………………………….
SHELL INTERNATIONAL
Mick Kelly and Aeree Kim (CRU, ENV) met with Robert Kleiburg (Shell International’s climate change team) on July 4th primarily to discuss access to Shell information as part of Aeree’s PhD study (our initiative) and broader collaboration through postgrad. student project placements (their initiative), but Robert was also interested in plans for the Tyndall Centre (TC). What ensued was necessarily a rather speculative discussion with the following points emerging.
Shell International would give serious consideration to what I referred to in the meeting as a ‘strategic partnership’ with the TC, broadly equivalent to a ‘flagship alliance’ in the TC proposal. A strategic partnership would involve not only the provision of funding but some (limited but genuine) role in setting the research agenda etc.
Shell’s interest is not in basic science. Any work they support must have a clear and immediate relevance to ‘real-world’ activities. They are particularly interested in emissions trading and CDM
