Stolen E-mails Turn Up Heat on Climate Change Rhetoric http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/326/5958/1329 Eli Kintisch The theft and unauthorized release last month of 1000 private e-mail mess= ages from the=20 servers of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Ang= lia in the United=20 Kingdom has provided a glimpse into the fractious world of climate scienc= e. The public=20 airing of frank conversations among powerful scientists about sensitive t= opics such as=20 possible holes in their data and the use of contrarian papers in major re= ports comes at a=20 pivotal time for climate science, just days before a meeting of world lea= ders in=20 Copenhagen. The messages=E2=80=94whether hacked or released by a disgrunt= led insider=E2=80=94have raised=20 thorny questions about the proper behavior of researchers who feel under = siege for their=20 science.
