More stolen climate science emails released

NOV 23, 2011
Physics Today
New York Times : Another batch of stolen emails from climate scientists was posted yesterday by the hacker or group of hackers responsible for Climategate two years ago. Involving the same scientists and many of the same issues, some of them also carried a similar tone: “catty remarks by the scientists, often about papers written by others in the field,” write Justin Gillis and Leslie Kaufman for the New York Times. The release of the emails, which is intended to cast doubt on the integrity of leading climate scientists and of climate research in general, comes less than a week before the United Nations climate summit in Durban, South Africa, which starts on 28 November. “It smacks of desperation,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climate modeler at NASA.
