"...The Met Office plans to re-examine 160 years of temperature data after admitting that public confidence in the science on man-made global warming has been shattered by leaked [not hacked,not stolen] e-mails..."
Met Office to re-examine 160 years of climate data - Times Online
I guess the UK met office has also taken the emails out of context...
Lol, nice
Indeed...I'm heading out soon for my 4th bottle of Champagne since ClimateGate broke.Originally Posted by Wakeupcall
Lol, nice
And how about this for understatement of the century:
"...The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change admitted yesterday that it needed to consider the full implications of the e-mails and whether they cast doubt on any of the evidence for man-made global warming..."
"It will take 3 years to re-analyse the data"! I thought our PS were bad...
Indeed,3 yrs should be long to either get their story straight or soften us up for the next Eco Scare.My money is on the depleting 02 scenario that has started to rear it's nonsense head.
That caught my attention, as word games like that interest me.
The internet's most infallible information source, Pope-pedia was off line so I went tthe second most infallible Wikipedia and they say it is both hacked and leaked
Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think we could say in fairness that it was hacked, then leaked. However, did you notice the name of the .zip file, FOIA.zip? The first thing I though was Freedom Of Information Act. I wonder if it wasn't a little joke.Unidentified persons hacked a server used by the Climatic Research Unit, posting online copies of e-mails and documents that they found. The incident is being investigated by Norfolk police and involved the theft of more than 1,000 e-mails and 3,000 other documents, consisting of 160 MB of data in total.
...
somebody hacked into the RC server from an IP address associated with a computer somewhere in Turkey, disabled access from the legitimate users, and uploaded a file FOIA.zip to our server.
...
The leaked material comprised more than 1,000 e-mails, 2,000 documents, as well as commented Fortran source code, pertaining to climate change research covering a period from 1996 until 2009.
Also I had no idea Fortran was still being used today, it's almost 50 years old. You can't say that about too many programming languages.

I read that the info had been uploaded to a publically accessable server as a result of an FOI request with a view to having said info firstly censured before release.Someone,internally, saw this file and made it public before any desanitising could be done.It's an internal leak as far as I'm concerned.
Happy days... Copenfageneatmyfarts
