On November 20th, hackers published 61mb of data they got from a climate change research group. The data includes over 1,000 emails, many of which I'm quite sure the senders would rather had never seen the light of day.
A lot of people who've been busily poking holes in AGW research for years are practically dancing in the streets.
What bothers me the most is that if the hackers are caught, they will be punished for releasing information that the 'owners' were legally required to release, but didn't, under various FOI requests in two countries. Yes, the hackers broke the law. Apparently, however, so did numerous climate 'scientists' who've been getting quite a lot of taxpayer funding to research a problem they KNEW wasn't as bad as they were claiming.
From scanning a few other articles on the subject it seems that most of the media is going to play up the fact that it was a hack and play down the importance of what was released.
