Hi Bob,
What I
find interesting about the hacked emails is the number of ‘no
comments’ being given out. If their work was legit they shouldn't be
embarrassed by the messages being released. And to me the one that
screams out the loudest is...
"I'm not going to comment on the content of illegally
obtained emails. However, I will say this: both their theft and, I
believe, any reproduction of the emails that were obtained on public
websites, etc, constitutes serious criminal activity. I'm hoping the
perpetrators and their facilitators will be tracked down and
prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows."
A comment like that looks like what you'd expect from a politician
that just got caught in a scandal. They attempt to shoot the
messenger instead of dealing with the message. If their work was
legit and everything was above board they would just say the
material speaks for itself and move on. They however are acting as
if they just got caught.
I think people like you and I knew this all along. Now we have
proof.

I find
it really heartening that the Climate Research Unit has been
"outed." But I'm still
concerned that the mainstream media will try
to ignore or
whitewash it.
With the Copenhagen
climate conference coming up it should be
front-page news. But is
it? No. The Seattle Times posted the story
this morning - on page 9
- under the ho-hum headline "Computer
hackers leak e-mails,
stoke global-warming debate."
