#1 Filed under Lurid Crime Tales. Although it remains to be seen whether the 'lurid crime' is the hacking or the shenanigans at CRU the hacking reveals.

#2 For those not familiar with this the CRU has been keeping the data and code for their "global warming" calculations under wraps away from peer review. Apparently not so much under wraps now...

#4 I've got already emails from some people that were non-militant warmist that essentially say "I did bet on the wrong horse" (e.g. AGW).

The geenie is out and no one can put it back.

#9 That's funny, I thought that data was "lost" a little while ago.

#10 That's funny, I thought that data was "lost" a little while ago.

The original .zip file was taken down a few hours ago from the Russian ftp site where it first appeared.

Now, a number of site offer bit torrents of the .zip file

They can't unring the bell now.

Anyway an amateur attempt at photoshopping and the AGW agenda found in the FOIA file glob.

#16 I can't wait to see what Al Gore says about this.
My bet is that he will ignore it for as long as he can, or deny it, or blame it on Bush somehow.

#20 They've been deleted, but I got 'em.

#21 Actually, that torrent might still be working.

If this is a fake -- well, I don't believe it's a fake. There's 60 MB of data here, with cell phone numbers, e-mail headers ...

If you have stock in a carbon-trading company, well, better start selling short.

My research methods course is going to be kick-butt next week ...
