Once again, Maria, I asked for an article, not a news story. Did you read those CRU e-mails by yourself -- not the (carefully-selected) exerpts from the FOX News?
Here is one opinion which I find close to mine: ***********.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2009/11/the-cru-hack/
Please read the paragraph about the "trick" that mass media has been over-hyped about recently.
I don't want to defend those folks at CRU, I don't know them. But somehow I don't believe that they are there to get us all. What would they get in return -- what is the primary motivation to mislead the whole planet? And do you think that other groups at other Universities would not have their own data to cross-check?
You know, if in my private e-mails, I refer to some researcher as an idiot and his/her paper as crap, it does not mean that I'm there to suppress his/her ideas. Doesn't that make sense?
