Climategate 2.0 « the Air Vent

[Craig Loehle] 69 Tolleris: The point is not that the scientists disagree among themselves but that they publicly proclaim from the rooftops that the science is settled and anyone who questions them is a bone-headed denier oil-lobby funded hooligan (gee that’s fun…).

BBC News - 'New release' of climate emails

A hacker entered a backup server at the university and downloaded a file containing administrative passwords, which were subsequently used to access a vast number of files and emails dating back to 1997.

It was clear at the time that only a small portion of the total tranche downloaded had been released. It is likely that the newly-released material was accessed during the original hack.

From email 4790:
[Revkin]
with the understanding that he wouldn't further circulate the embargoed papers, i've sought
input from Mann (only way I can write on studies of this sort is by getting context ahead
of time, while still under embargo).
i'd appreciate your response to the following thoughts emailed by Mann.
