The Sound Of All Hell About To Break Loose

The Hadley Climate Research Unit has been hacked;

An unknown person put postings on some climate skeptic websites that advertsied an FTP file on a Russian FTP server, here is the message that was placed on the Air Vent today:

We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents

The file was large, about 61 megabytes, containing hundreds of files.
It contained data, code, and emails from Phil Jones at CRU to and from many people.
I’ve seen the file, it appears to be genuine and from CRU. Others who have seen it concur- it appears genuine. There are so many files it appears unlikely that it is a hoax. The effort would be too great.
Here is some of the emails just posted at Climate Audit on this thread: http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=7801#comments

Yowza.

Update

The director of Britain’s leading Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, has told Investigate magazine’s TGIF Edition tonight that his organization has been hacked, and the data flying all over the internet appears to be genuine.
In an exclusive interview, Jones told TGIF, “It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails.”
“Have you alerted police”
“Not yet. We were not aware of what had been taken.”
Jones says he was first tipped off to the security breach by colleagues at the website RealClimate.
“Real Climate were given information, but took it down off their site and told me they would send it across to me. They didn’t do that. I only found out it had been released five minutes ago.”
TGIF asked Jones about the controversial email discussing “hiding the decline”, and Jones explained what he was trying to say….

James Delingpole of the Telegraph (UK) – “If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW.”
These emails are damning stuff, suggesting collusion, conspiracy, and suppression and manipulation of data on the part of leading “climate” scientists. Read Andrew Bolt for some of the highlights.
Lots at Climate Depot, too.
Climate Audit is still being slammed, so you may have a lot of trouble getting in there.

  1. If true, I can imagine the major players looking out of country to get facial reconstruction surgery. lmao

  3. After reading a number of the emails a picture emerges.
    These so-called scientists are all in cahoots, scratching each others back, and all utterly consumed with their belief that global warming is occurring.
    This truly is a remarkable release of data, for it not only shines yet another light on the global warming farce, but it shows you what a joke the so-called “peer review” process is in area of climate science.
    We all knew the thing was a racket, and these files are the clearest evidence of that yet.
    I go to bed with a smile on my face, knowing that these cockroaches will soon have nowhere to hide.

  4. Just an idle thought but could it be that the big players who used/depended on the willing fools to promote the agenda have realized that the jig was up, and have decided to throw the willing fools to the wolves to protect themselves?
    Al, Mo, David et al were all “fooled”? How else would they climb down?

  5. These so-called scientists are all in cahoots, scratching each others back, and all utterly consumed with their belief that global warming is occurring.
    Anyone that questions AGW is either “in the pay of Big Oil”, an idiot, “misinformed” (thus needing “re-education”) or has some serious mental issues.
    Uh-huh, OK.
    Why is it that our free society’s mechanism for providing untainted information to the people has consistently not looked into and evaluated the “deniers'” input?
    It appears that there has been a determined effort to paint government/NGO/activist group-paid “scientists” in a completely innocent light.
    Why is this?

  6. The house of bureaucratic cards is beginning to shake a might. Sooner or latter over regulation with big government. Collapses of it own weight of self righteousness.You have as big a government as us & nothing is secret.
    Someone will always “leak” an outrageous law that even disgusts them.

  7. If you have a religious belief in your group’s end goal, no lie you tell to achieve that goal is morally wrong. Or so you think.
    Half of the climate fear-mongers believe that the wealth redistribution aspect of Kyoto is the end goal that justifies any means; the other half believe the threat of the supposed pollutant CO2 gives them license to deceive the public. Both halves are dangerous religious crazies.
    Me: I bow down to whoever hacked and distributed this stuff. What a service to humanity.

  8. I wish I could get the same quality of exposed conspiracy in regard to Environment Canada’s campaign of blacklisting my research — and possibly other similar, related bad acts over a longer period of time (dating back to before we had e-mail or for that matter, global warming).
    I’ve heard some of the details from people who didn’t want to go on the record, and it’s the same sort of stuff, let’s feather our nests and keep out anyone who wants to do any real work.
    So over the years, if this was the same attitude as other national weather services around the world, it’s no surprise that a culture of mediocrity and cynical indifference to real scientific integrity developed, and global warming or climate change was the perfect boondoggle to wring vast amounts of money out of nervous and anxious governments.
    There are some good people working in these places, but I get the strong sense that they are afraid to speak out because they know it would mean social ostracism and possible removal (not firing because it’s hard to fire a swivel servant) — but then, when I say good people, I suppose that good people would be more courageous than that.
    It is a national disgrace that in my own case, not one person out of thousands who might be in the know has ever stood up and said anything. That would have made Stalin or Hitler proud, a 100% compliance rate with some official policy of state-sponsored deception. In our own case, the government doesn’t know a thing about it — I tried that approach, my MP gave it a valiant effort in all fairness to him, but he ran up against a total brick wall of silence and in the end he died and was replaced by a university Liberal climatologist. I figured that was probably the end of my window of opportunity to get relief from my MP.
    Decided to go my own way as the internet age blossomed and many alternative discussion groups came into existence. The end result is that I now expect some of my ideas to percolate into the next generation of researchers, but probably not with much effect until long after I’m gone.
    There are many similar stories, I am sure. You have to figure that the lack of real progress in long-range forecasting must be due to something other than the complexity of the challenge, perhaps it’s due more to structural weaknesses in the established science of meteorology and climatology. The bad show of the climate change crowd is a very good indicator of how low the bar is in this science, when compared to astronomy or organic chemistry. The sad thing is, the rest of the scientific community figures that their colleagues in the atmospheric sciences must be up to par, they came out of the same universities etc etc, so they take their announcements at face value and give their prestige and credibility to the IPCC nonsense, without ever doing their own investigation of it. Too bad we don’t have the likes of Einstein around in this generation to take a quick look at the quackery of the climate change “science” — I’m pretty sure he would make short work of them.

  10. I hope this proves to be legitimate. If true, this was not just harmless ‘fudging’ of data, it was deliberately deceiving the public (via the media) to achieve political goals. Those who have used and abused science in this manner should be publicly stripped of all their titles and charged with fraud. The economic damage caused by the AGW scam is exponentially more harmful than Madoff.
    More importantly, will incandescent lightbulbs get a pardon? I hate CFLs. 🙂

  11. Timed to be just prior to Copenhagen
    Whether it came fom Russia, who likely arent interested in Carbon Caps, should be interesting.
    The sad thing is this has moved out of the realm of scientific inquiry and into the partisan realm, actually it did so a while ago.
    Heck even Gore just admitted that only 40% of warming can be attributed to CO2, that doesnt make it true, it just means he has backed off his initial fundamentalist position that there was a near one to one correlation between CO2 rising and temp rising.
    If people have been playing fast and loose with the science, as it appears, then a loss of position, tenure etc, a professional court martial so to speak, is well within the realm of possibility.

  12. Global Warming will go down in history as the greatest fraud ever perpetrated. Equally, the corrupt politicians who tried to backdoor billions will go down in history as the biggest crooks that ever exhaled CO2. And finally, the issue will be remembered as the one that put the final nail in the coffin of the tree-murdering MSM.

  13. “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”
    Science, eh?! ROFL.

  16. I fully expect Lorrie Goldstein is watching this story unfold very closely and understandably so, in order to ascertain whether the hacked info is true Hadley CRU stuff.
    Lorrie in my view has been one of the few MSM people willing to comment on AGW or cap and trade which of course is the Kyoto siamese twin of the AGW hoax in my view.

  17. Well this is going to really piss off Bill Good at CKNW.
    Somebody just wee-wee’d in his AGW cornflakes.

  21. P.S. I wonder if the Red Star is going to be calling the person, especially it it is an insider, a brave “whistleblower”, a word the Red Star has developed a fondness for as of late?

  22. Sean Hannity’s Radio show is aware of SDA blog posting last night and still current.
    If the hack info is correct the AGW Pandora box is wide open to the world.
    Copenhagen will be end up being a GloGG and Pilsener party and nothing more.

  23. When this comes out and AGW dies the death the it so rightly deserves ALL of the gulls who supported it should have AGW tattooed on their foreheads so that everyone knows that the individual sporting the tattoo is too evil/stupid to ever be trusted with any position of authority over anything or anyone ever again.

  25. I was a bit skeptical at first, until I read this (via a link at andycanuck’s (9:07) link:
    “HadleyCRU says leaked data is real.
    “The director of Britain’s leading Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, has told Investigate magazine’s TGIF Edition tonight that his organization has been hacked, and the data flying all over the internet appears to be genuine.
    “In an exclusive interview, Jones told TGIF, ‘It was a hacker. We were aware of this about three or four days ago that someone had hacked into our system and taken and copied loads of data files and emails.’
    “‘Have you alerted police?’
    “‘Not yet. We were not aware of what had been taken.'”

    “Real Climate were given information, but took it down off their site and told me they would send it across to me. They didn’t do that. I only found out it had been released five minutes ago.”

  26. IF – big word – this is true and the Cons go ahead and follow the US on Cap & Trade they deserve to be thron out of office. They should say they are sorry by following the advice given them and state they will continue to fight pollution in Canada. They should also send the rsearcher on polar baers to conference – was rejected because he did not go along with the trend, and his denial of Global Warming.
    By Christmas we will know where the Cons stand on Global Warming/Climate Change. We already know the Bloc, Non Democradic Party and LIEberals stand, and if Iffy is smart he will be the first to change his mind thereby granting him a small amount of honesty. It will take a great keader to confess he/she was wrong and discontinue the Global Warming religion.
    I am sure this will totally destroy the Green Party and finally be rid of the fearmonger E. May and Dr. Fruitfly.

  30. The Phantom: “See, this is why I don’t believe in these perfect conspiracies, like the ATF brass knew about Oklahoma City, like the 9/11 Troofers, ad nauseam. Somebody -always- squeals.”
    You are absolutely correct.
    The “Troofers” have singularly failed to produce a Daniel Ellsberg.

  31. Let’s be careful. It is possible — not likely, just possible — that whoever illegally accessed CRU’s systems has edited the files for extra impact before publishing them. AFAIK Phil Jones, head of CRU Hadley, has only confirmed that CRU were hacked, not that the files were accurate.
    I really, really hope that really, really soon someone will ask him whether any of the files are inaccurate.

  32. just possible — that whoever illegally accessed CRU’s systems has edited the files for extra impact before publishing them.
    ~Chris Chittleborough
    Then Hadley CRU will have to prove the difference by making public the original data files they have been hiding from FOIA demands, won’t they?
    It looks like win-win to me.

  35. CBCpravda has gone into their usual catatonic state with this. They cannot have a set of files like this go public when they are about to have Gore and Suzuki together in a modulated forum . Even the the AGW derriers that they will have in the audience may ask the wrong questions.

  37. OF course these files will be determined by “official” investigation to be false regardless if they are or not. So we can have some fun in the mean time but this will be swept under the rug very quickly and it will be made to seem that the “Deniers” and specifically Climate Audit (been a thorn in AGW side for a long time)jumped the gun or were complicit in some way in order to derail Copenhagen.
    The AGWers will use it as a call to arms because the evil deniers will stop at nothing to distort the truth, and in this firestorm the only thing we will never know is what the real truth is.
    This is a no win for the truth as to the authenticity of these files, far too many people in far too many high places would be affected.
    Sorry but it far too political an issue to be derailed by something as annoying as the truth or a lie, which ever this is.

  41. The Grinch just stole climate change. Is the AGW god dead? Is it time to start a new religion?
    Stay tuned. Let the spin begin.

  43. A commenter at ‘Watts Up With That’ puts it well;
    “…the keys to the future of western economic prosperity have apparently been given away by our cretinous politicians to these climate change fanatics.”
    ‘cretinous’ ? Is it a word or does he not know how to spell Chretien ? heh heh

  47. I’ve bet five bucks there’s no police involvement from Hadley, so they can claim its been tampered without having to pony up the real goods in court.
    Any takers? Trolls? John Cross?

    “*Václav Klaus: ‘Largest tax increase in world history’
    Despite huge spending, it has not been proved that the human effect on the climate is significant
    By Václav Klaus
    Many thanks for the invitation and for the courage to organize such an important gathering in the moment when political correctness tells you not to do it.
    We are meeting one month before the Climate Change Copenhagen Summit and several weeks before the U.S. Senate hearing regarding the cap-and-trade scheme. For these reasons, today’s meeting can’t be an academic conference, even though the topic still needs academic discussion. There is no consensus — neither in science, nor in economic analysis or politics.
    I have already been at a UN Summit in Copenhagen before. It was in 1995 at the so-called Social Summit. At that time, the Summit was attended by then U.S. Vice President Al Gore who — so it seems — will be there again this year. I did also attend, as Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, but I don’t plan to go there now. I don’t see any chance to influence the results or to be listened to.
    In 1995, there were huge demonstrations organized by all kinds of anti-establishment groupings – from socialists and greens to anarchists and anti-globalizationists. I have never seen such clashes between demonstrators and police and army forces before. The difference is that I don’t expect any demonstrations in Copenhagen now. The anti-establishment people have in the meantime become insiders and will be sitting in the main hall. This is a shift with far-reaching consequences.
    My views on the doctrine of global warming and especially on the role of man in it are relatively known. My book with the title Blue Planet in Green Shackles has been already published in 12 languages and, two and a half years after its original publication, I don’t have any urgent need to rewrite it.
