New Batch of Leaked Climate Emails

Posted by Soulskill on from the is-this-a-new-gate-or-can-we-use-the-old-gate dept.

New submitter kenboldt writes "Someone going by the alias 'foia' has dropped a link to a zip file containing thousands more emails similar to those released in 2009. There are apparently many more which are locked behind a password, presumably waiting to be released at some time in the future." The University of East Anglia has released a brief statement indicating that the emails were probably obtained during the 2009 breach and held back until now as "a carefully-timed attempt to reignite controversy."

  1. Yawn, all the alarmists will be spinning furiously by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Whoopie, another batch of incriminating emails for the alarmists to explain away. Furious spin doctoring has already commenced. True Believers continue to deny the reality of the ideological slant which has distorted climate science for the political gain of such luminaries as Al "the Bore" Gore.

    Really, you're equating the CO2 released by Chinese river dolphins with the global burning of million-year old carbon-stores? I'm sorry, you have no clue about how the climate works.

    Problem is we have so little understanding of how the earth reacts to these changes over time.

    No, YOU don't. Climate scientists have a pretty damn good idea.

    The earth has sustained itself through *much* more drastic changes than anything man has introduced.

    Note how man wasn't present through those much more drastic changes? And how those changes led to mass extinctions? Do you really want to try your hand at surviving something like the PETM event?
