Hackers recently acquired and published over 100MB of e-mail correspondence from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia. The CRU describes itself as being "widely recognized as one of the world's leading institutions concerned with the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change".
The hacked emails span from 1996 to 2009 and contain correspondence between leading scientists in the climate change debate. The hacked data has been confirmed as genuine, and needless to say, it provides damning evidence about the junk science being used to hype global warming.

This is Al Gore's 'Wizard of Oz' moment... "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Certainly, many in the media will gladly oblige, and ignore the scandal.
"... these revelations of fudged science should have a cooling effect on global-warming hysteria and the panicked policies that are being pushed forward to address the unproven theory."Update: More on Climategate here.
