The data ...The evidence definitely supports a leak. The data was released in a folder titled "FOIA" one day after the FOIA request was illegitimately declined. Most importantly, the information is exclusively relevant. I don't know about your job, but 3/4 of my job's e-mails are meeting announcements, gossip, bad jokes, baby pictures, or panic over broken coffeemakers. There isn't a single such e-mail in the Climategate documents. Long story short, this data was manually compiled and quality controlled. This could not have been done by a computer in a short amount of time. It had to have been compiled over a significant amount of time by someone knowledgable of the field.<br /><br />The fact that this reveals illegal activity means your embezzlement analogy is inappropriate. This was on the same level and long-term importance as Deep Throat himself.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12339127.post-10497368946838136452010-11-05T10:06:42.834-05:002010-11-05T10:06:42.834-05:00There is a significant difference between "le...There is a significant difference between "leaking" and "hacking" information. In analogy between money and data, leaking is like embezzlement and hacking is like robbery. The difference is whether the perp was an insider or an outsider. Given the data security measures in place at CRU at the time, a leak is far more likely than a hack, but there is no evidence to support either. Given the lack of forensic data to support his position, Mann's claims have the appearance of pure paranoia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12339127.post-28456861289324350372010-11-04T13:48:57.837-05:002010-11-04T13:48:57.837-05:00Would someone please tell Dr. Mann that the Earth ...Would someone please tell Dr. Mann that the Earth is not flat?
