I don’t usually like sequels…
…but I am LOVING Climategate 2.0.
Yep, it’s the anniversary of Climategate 2009, and the anonymous benefactor who released the first batch of purloined emails has released another 5,000. Also, he’s put a zip file of 250,000 more into the public domain encrypted with a strong password which he claims he won’t release — an insurance policy, a piñata for hackers and the Sword of Damocles, all in one delightful package. (Note to Julian Assange: anonymous leakers not in jail). Same deal as before: dropped on a Russian server linked to comment threads on well-known skeptical blogs.
Follow along, won’t you? The four blogs who were the recipients of largesse:
Watts Up With That
Tall Bloke
Climate Audit
Air Vent
The BBC is already spinning it like a very spinny thing indeed.
I confess, I have a weakness for Scientists Behaving Badly stories. This one is my favorite.
