Climate Change Skeptics Pounce On E-Mails Hackers Got From U.K. Scientists' Files : NPR

There's a storm brewing on the Web over e-mails that hackers got hold of in which some scientists at one of the world's leading research centers say things such as the need to "hide the decline" in data about temperatures. Skeptics who have doubts about whether humans are contributing to global warming are pouncing on the revelations.

The Daily Bayonet » Hadley CRU: Hack or Leak?

I think a leaker is more likely than a hacker, but find out who to thank in due course. For now, the folks at Hadley (and Michael Mann) are trying to deflect attention from what they wrote to each other by focusing on the legality of how the papers were obtained.

Tony soprano had some excellent words of wisdom for the motley CRU: “You can’t put the shit back in the donkey.”

Pajamas Media » Hacker Releases Data Implicating CRU in Global Warming Fraud

Several people have already corroborated a number of the emails as being ones they wrote or received. The package also includes substantial data and computer programs, which are being explored as this is being written.

The best we can say right now is that we should keep our eyes on this. If these files are eventually corroborated and verified, it is a bombshell indeed — evidence that there has been a literal conspiracy to push the anthropogenic climate change agenda far beyond the science.

It will mean the end of some scientific careers, and it might even mean those careers will end in jail.

Hacked Emails Show Climate Scientists Manipulating Data To Support Global Warming Theories

And not just manipulating data, but also plotting with one another to keep data inconvenient for their global warming alarmism crusade out of the publics’ hands.
...
Just to illustrate how influential this research center is, the work that won the IPCC its co-Nobel Prize with Al Gore was laced with work done by the Hadley Climatic Research Centre.

This is major.  Remember that our nation is poised to pass policy, cap and trade, that would significantly impact our economy and our day-to-day lives based on the idea that human activity and production is significantly impacting global climate change.  And yet, the very scientists (I should maybe put quotations marks around “scientists” when referring to these guys now) at the heart of the theories those policies are based on have been caught manipulating their work fraudulently and trying to hide inconvenient data from the public.
