New Batch of Leaked Climate Emails

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."

    No, it's just more confirmation that these guys don't know why things are but are far more concerned that the number deliver the right message.

    Mister Limbaugh, could you please restate that in English?

    Look moron, there's no grant money for disproving gravity yet there's plenty enough for the other way around. And you gravity believers try to equate us to nazi sympathizers by calling us gravity deniers. We're gravity skeptics, and we're just waiting for conclusive proof to make a decision. Most gravitymongering hype is bullshit and it's all just being pushed by media profiting off fear and politicians profiting off pro-gravity legislation. So until we hear from neutral sources unanimously coming to a consensus, we will rationally remain in doubt.

    When I go back there now, it is totally fucking unambiguous to me that on a global scale the temperature is rising. Look up from your feet at some previously snow-capped mountains -- it's not that damn hard.

    I would, but a) I don't live near any mountains, and b) it's way to cold to go outside right now.

    What's funny about Fox is that this is also the network that is currently showing a very big-budget sci-fi show that depicts the Earth's climate becoming totally inhospitable to human life in about 100 years, and people trying to escape by going back in time to the days of the dinosaurs.
