UK mainstream media run CRU stories

At least a couple of the conservative papers are running with the Hadley story, brief details below:

One of the world’s leading climate change research centres has been accused of manipulating data on global warming after thousands of private emails and documents were leaked.

Hackers targeted the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and published the files, including some personal messages, on the internet.

Among the most damaging is one which appears to suggest using a ‘trick’ to massage years of temperature data to ‘hide the decline’.

Daily Telegraph:

Climate scientists accused of ‘manipulating global warming data’

Some of the world’s top climate scientists have been accused of manipulating data on global warming after hundreds of private emails were stolen by hackers and published online.

Published: 8:00AM GMT 21 Nov 2009

The material was taken from servers at the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit – a world-renowned climate change research centre – before it was published on websites run by climate change sceptics.

It has been claimed that the emails show that scientists manipulated data to bolster their argument that global warming is genuine and is being caused by human actions.

More to follow, I hope.

  1. I noted on my blog yesterday that the BBC was carrying the government’s water–surprise–by treating the story as a cyber-security piece. No mention of what was hacked, only the act itself.
    Has anyone called on Mr. Rudd to explain whether he is an unwitting dupe of the AGW zombies or an active member of the cabal?
