Suspicions were growing last night that Russian security services were behind the leaking of the notorious British ‘Climategate’ emails which threaten to undermine tomorrow’s Copenhagen global warming summit.
An investigation by The Mail on Sunday has discovered that the explosive hacked emails from the University of East Anglia were leaked via a small web server in the formerly closed city of Tomsk in Siberia.
The leaks scandal has left the scientific community in disarray after claims that key climate change data was manipulated in the run-up to the climate change summit of world leaders.
The row erupted when hundreds of messages between scientists at the university’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and their colleagues around the world were placed on the internet along with other documents.
The CRU is internationally recognised as one of the most important sources of information on the rise in global temperatures.
Its data is relied on by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN body which co-ordinates the world response to climate change.
But now the CRU’s findings are under suspicion.
The leaked emails appear to show that CRU director Professor Phil Jones and colleagues attempted to manipulate the figures and hide their raw data from researchers with opposing views.
Prof Jones has stepped aside from his post while claims are investigated that he wanted certain papers excluded from the United Nations’ next major assessment of climate science.
Russia – one of the world’s largest producers and users of oil and gas – has a vested interest in opposing sweeping new agreements to cut emissions, which will be discussed by world leaders in Copenhagen tomorrow.

Bless Putin if he did this. Now can he do something about the birth certificate.
The idiots from America are just as bad as euros. Al Gore is the ring leader. I trust Putin more than I trust Hussein, Pelosi and Reid. They are far more evil.
IIRC the polonium was in the tea, not the salad so it would even harder to prevent another episode in Great Britain.
>To the contrary, the Russian have EVERY reason to expose this. Along with Saudi Arabia, they are one of the largest producers and exporters of oil and gas. Which, in a carbon credit regime, would be made much more costly — and, thus, less in demand.<
true,
but in the grand scheme and long haul, Russia would gain power if we were subverted in this game and lost power. In the end they can control the prices. The russians tend to think long term, i think in the end game, they would e more powerful and have less of a threat by us to keep them in line.
I still think that it would hurt us more than them, and that is all they care about.
Are you saying these professors had a prior relationship with the KGB — which went sour, and now the KGB is exacting revenge?
The professors would then know prison was a safer place than being on the street?
Deep Throat is Mrs. Gore
Poor Manbearpig AL Gore LOL!
He getting his a*** kick by Vlady
“Were Russian security services behind the leak of ‘Climategate’ emails?”
I suspect so. If they were, there is more to come.
This piece is at least positive in using the term leak rather than the term stolen.
That seems to be progress
Ahh, no. I am saying that if Russian ops ‘found’ the made up data (which is pretty much what it is—fiction) and that the openning salvo was the leak...kind of ‘we are on to your game...but now you are done’ and the CRU/IPCC bunch decide to forge ahead...THAT is where the potential retribution lies.
No prior relationship...just a preemptive strike against a threat to the Russian economy. And ours, for that matter.
I am intriqued that there are those who think that our guys worked the relese. Either a fascinating story, totally ignored by LSM.
