If this is legit, you betcha…
From various sources, not sure who first posted or where this info was first posted, but here’s the Telegraph’s take:
The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)

But perhaps the most damaging revelations – the scientific equivalent of the Telegraph’s MPs’ expenses scandal – are those concerning the way Warmist scientists may variously have manipulated or suppressed evidence in order to support their cause.
The article includes several sample emails as does Watts Up With That and The Herald Sun.
For years Gorewellians have tried to scare us into believing that radical behavioral change is required to save the Earth from the terrible effects of human-caused global warming.
Those of us who were skeptical were lumped in with the nuts who believe man never landed on the moon.
Forget that Gore and many of his followers do not practice what they preach, flying all over the globe in private jets and leaving a carbon footprint far exceeding that of just about every American.
Pay no attention to the millions of dollars earned by folks like Gore who are cashing in on this fear.
Never mind how much supporters stand to gain through the sale of new technologies to combat global warming.
Don’t dare question how “buying” an acre of rain forest to ease your guilt about driving a Hummer does anything beyond putting money into the pockets of profiteers.
All of that is nothing more than deflections, distractions and deceptions spun by those among us who refuse to believe the absolute fact that global warming is a foregone conclusion and that man’s culpability is settled science.
Even Bill O’Reilly says we’re idiots for questioning the “facts”:
I am a big fan of the Factor and was disappointed O’Reilly went with the pack on this one without questioning how much truly was settled science and how much was spin from folks who stand to profit from the battle against global warming.
Assuming this leak is a legit look into a cover up of facts that run counter to the position that global warming exists and is man made, it is reasonable to question why the need for a cover up if this is settled science. And if this is not settled science, questioning is appropriate (actually, even if it is settled science, questioning is appropriate… it used to be settled science that the Earth was flat).
And… if questioning is appropriate, I suppose those of us questioning the “facts” are not idiots after all.
Now about that moon landing… just kidding.
