BREAKING: HadleyCRU says leaked data is real « An Honest Climate Debate

Via TBR.cc, November 20, 2009

The director of Britain’s leading Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, has told Investigate magazine’s TGIF Edition tonight that his organization has been hacked, and the data flying all over the internet appears to be genuine.

In an exclusive interview, Jones told TGIF, “It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails.”

From the hacked Hadley CRU files: IPCC lead author's private admission: 'The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't.' | GORE LIED

As the Hadley CRU’s apparently hacked files have spread throughout the blogosphere, I downloaded all 160-some MB of the e-mails and documents, and started to clicking away randomly. I stumbled across this e-mail from Kevin Trenberth who was an IPCC lead author. The subject of the day seems to be how to explain the lack of warming for the past decade or so. Trenberth wrote his e-mail just last month from an unseasonably cold Boulder, Colorado, and the e-mail was sent to one or more of the following: Gavin Schmidt, Michael Mann, Stephen Schneider, and James Hansen, among others.

If someone within Hadley has finally had enough of the deceit, the hidden data, and the unscientific practices, they’ve presumably decided enough is enough — and will not allow the world’s bureaucrats and bankers to keep exploiting science for their own profits.

If so, all credit to them for taking such a big risk.

Ultimately, Phil Jones and Michael Mann and others are public servants, so nothing bar personal details should be out of bounds. If they were working (as a scientist should) to try to understand our climate and they had acted in an honest, statesmanlike and transparent manner, there would be no regrets if their emails were made public.
