Spot the Bias – a group of emails from a group of climate scientists have been made public after being acquired by “hackers”… The emails show a damning pattern of so-called scientists colluding to cover up the data not matching their models, and how to shut up people who might deny their so-called “science”. Note which headlines focus on the “theft” of email, and which on the science… (The NY Times has confirmed the emails are authentic)

I love both the New York Times and Media Matters.
I keep searching for a response from Al Gore, but so far I hear only crickets.
I had to go see the Media Matters spin on that one for myself… they are so desperate to spin this into a non-issue.
Fairly recently the CRU deleted the original dataset that was used to create the original global warming predictions – blaming it on lack of disk space…. How much does a 1 TB raid array cost these days – $1k?
None of the stories contain any details about the “Hacking”… in fact, the statement from the University doesn’t say that at all – it says that they became aware that data from one of its servers had been posted on a public server. It could well be that someone who had authorized access to the server just downloaded it to a thumb drive and then posted it online or turned it over to someone who did. “Stolen” and “hacked” are sligthly different concepts. Some of the stories use the term “leaked”
