Climate researchers are nonplussed over the recent theft of emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. Opinions are mixed [see here and here] as to how to respond to the theft, but the scientific evidence for human alteration of the environment is overwhelming. The attack on East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit won’t sway general public opinion, or the determination of those meeting in Copenhagen, but will likely provide the climate change denial-industry with an alternate reality touchstone. As Obama’s birth certificate is/was to the birthers, so shall these academic emails be to the anti-environment crowd.
